Starring a group of college students who seemingly steal jet skis only to have their karma get back on them. The characters are the standard stereotypical college party type we are familiar with none truly standing out. We identify with the lead actress as she's the nice, and seemingly innocent one of the bunch.
The shark doesn't show up relatively too early on and throughout its appearance, it certainly teases its attacks on the characters. Where there were plenty of instances where the shark could have easily gotten them all but it would simply attack and bite one character or part of the jet ski then disappear.
The majority of the film is simply these characters stranded on the jet ski then one by one the shark takes each one out. Nothing thrilling as the shark was very cgi fake looking.

A rather innocent type of college romantic comedy starring Paul Rudd and a young Reese Witherspoon. Apparently described by several as "Road Trip before Road Trip" and after watching this film, can certainly see the similarities among both films. However Road Trip was more of a raunchy frat type comedy more focused of juvenile humor, gags and seemingly had more supporting characters while Overnight Delivery is more focused on a couple featuring a lot of coincidences.
The problem with this film is all the actions that go wrong and certainly by the fault of the lead character of Paul Rudd, who comes across as incredibly annoying and trying a little hard to be funny. Reese Witherspoon's introduction is her as a stripper (which was not convincing) then seemingly that angles drops and we wonder why she's being so helpful to Rudd. The entirely aspect of a stripper helping a stranger felt unrealistic. If anything Christine Taylor as Rudd's girlfriend was underused.
The film just isn't funny or romantic and the end feels more like a waste. The entire road trip adventure aspect revolving around the delivery person felt entirely forced. We question as to why he was overly protective to the one package that Rudd did not want to be delivered.
It's no surprise that this film is seemingly forgotten in both Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon's filmography.

Quite a rather depressing futuristic depiction drama. The outside scenery illustrates exactly what to expect but as we continue watching, there appears to be very little development and very little of excitement to be occurring. The acting by both Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson is strong as they are compelling enough, especially Pattinson. But overall in the end, it's rather disappointing, depressing and ultimately left nowhere.
Several silly instances by the characters which could have prevented their ultimately demise. It is as a whole, rather bland and typecasted boring. Dragged on quite a bit as well.
