Overnight Delivery Movie Download

9 / 10

Raises some metaphysical questions…
… such, are so-called “wacky teen comedies” really only for teens, or are they iconic in theme and execution, and can be enjoyed by any viewer regardless of age..? Which reminds me, oddly, of WHEN HARRY MET SALLY, not only one of the greatest films of all time; not only (possibly) the best thing Billy Crystal ever did; but in fact a movie which enjoyed an audience far outside what the producers expected and indeed a film which has over the years become part of the cultural gestalt. “I’ll have what’s she’s having” is as much a punchline as it is a test of one’s filmic credentials. So, to answer my own question, I think the answer is, yes, a good film can easily transcend its genre. In fact a good film can not only transcend its genre but it can in fact loop around (permit me the metaphor), pick up a bunch of viewers from other demographics, and then come full circle back to where it started. (This was the case with High School Musical, an innocent attempt to expose an entirely new, and sceptical, generation, to the many joys of the MGM musical template, which not only succeeded, but has captured the imagination of other viewers of other ages, while still being a breakout film in its own class.) As for OVERNIGHT DELIVERY, I always believed it was under-rated and under-appreciated. If you liked Witherspoon as June Cash (and you must have, because she got an Oscar), well, keep in mind she was 22 here and cute as the proverbial button. Rudd made his chops on network TV and showed how his low-key underhanded approach makes him a perfect foil in a romantic com — like a tennis player, he has a knack for picking up a line, or an emotion, and tossing it back. The story at first glance seems dated, the idea of a young man so obsessed with what he is losing (and may have never had to start with) that he does not see what is right in front of him. However, if you do the math, most of the knockoffs came AFTER this tale, not before, suggesting it was a lot more original than it seemed. Highly recommended.Read More
