I've seen much more torcherous comedies out there that were done in the same sort of format. I admit, some of the scenes work and I did laugh. I just didn't laugh enough. And everything was overdone. Paul Rudd gave the most obnoxious performance of his career--We're used to seeing him in more laid-back roles like in "Clueless" and "The Object of My Affection." Paul can do comedy, if given the right material. This was the only comic role I've seen Paul in, but I can tell he has potential. And he is, undoubtedly, an underrated actor who hasn't yet became a household name. I'm sure this isn't one his proudest roles, and I'll be surprised if it remains on his resume. The material in the script sometimes gets so lame that Paul desperately tries to muster some laughs, but falls completely flat and just makes an ass out of himself. Larry Drake is fun, and seems to hold his own throughout. He was one of the redeeming elements of this often lame comedy. The comic moments are so forced that you wouldn't be surprised if this was made from a rejected sitcom script.
"Overnight Delivery" is a hit-or-miss comedy, and is pretty passable. If you happen to come upon the movie on cable, it's worth a look. I can't say I was disappointed. It went direct to video, how good can it be? But it's an OK movie that's moderately harmless, easy-to-take and entertaining to a degree. But I wouldn't give it a reccomendation.
