Overnight Delivery is a 1998 American movie directed by Jason Bloom. It was written by Marc Sedaka and Steven Bloom, but famed indie director Kevin Smith was hired to rewrite the script (uncredited). Exterior scenes were filmed in St. Paul, Minnesota.
It's a romantic comedy about a man (Paul Rudd) who suspects his girlfriend (who's attending college across the country) is cheating on him. He sends her a letter along with a photo of a girl posing topless with him, and a "faked" used condom. Then after he's already mailed the letter to his girlfriend, he finds out she didn't really cheat on him. He and his stripper friend Ivy (Reese Witherspoon) go on a cross country trip to stop the letter from arriving at his girlfriend's dorm. Along the way he unexpectedly finds himself falling in love with Ivy instead.

PAUL: Yeah, but he also wrote Clerks.
