This movie is a little gem, a straight-to-video film with a heart of gold.
Wyatt Trips (Paul Rudd) is still lovingly dating his high school sweetheart, Kim (Christine Taylor). The day before Valentine's Day, he calls her up only to hear about a late night escapade with "The Ricker" from her roommate. Thinking she has cheated on him, he gets extremely upset. His buddies take him to a strip club to cheer him up, where he meets stripper Ivy Miller (Reese Witherspoon). The two team up to write a break up letter, complete with fake used condom and topless picture of them together, to send to Kim, via overnight delivery. However, when Wyatt finds out they he was wrong, he pulls Ivy into a cross-country road trip to get the letter back from an over-achieving delivery man. But could Wyatt end up falling for Ivy instead? (Gee, I wonder) This movie may have some completely insane plot twists and situations that you would just never see, but the stars make it work. Paul Rudd is adorably lovable as Wyatt. He's hilarious and has great physical comedy. Reese Witherspoon gives a perky, funny performance as Ivy. Its one of her more memorable romantic comedy characters.
The movie is so under the radar that it is barely known, but it should be. Any lovers of romantic comedies will fall in love with it, and there's even humor of the likes that would keep the guys interested. A heartwarming movie that will make you feel good all over :)

Freeway is a modern retelling of "Little Red Riding Hood" - with a completely darker twist.
Vanessa Lutz (Reese Witherspoon) is an illiterate, white trash 15 year old with an extremely foul mouth and an even worse temper. When her mom gets arrested for prostitution, and her step dad goes with for drugs, she decides to run away to find the grandma she's never met. When her car breaks down, she grabs a ride with Bob Wolverton (Kiefer Sutherland). When he asks her disturbing questions about the sexual abuse from her step dad, she realizes he's the killer she heard about on the news. All of a sudden, her life takes a turn- for the way worse.
This movie will totally take you by surprise if you do not know what you're in for. Its incredibly gory and dirty. It's not afraid to take incredibly huge risks with its dialog and plot twists, and that's why its so good. Witherspoon, being completely the opposite of her now "squeaky clean" image, is simply awesome in this movie. She plays her role to a T, the rage, violence, and humor behind the character. Sutherland is extremely creepy in his role, which eventually turns to humor ... then back to creepy. The movie is meant to be taken lightly, it really is hilarious, so don't ruin it by taking it seriously and getting creeped out! Cause I sure did. But now I love it! So be prepared before you pop in the DVD, and you're sure to become a quick fan!

Vanity Fair is a beautiful film, with gorgeous scenery and amazing costumes. However, it takes a great deal of concentration to figure out exactly what is going on.
Becky Sharp is the daughter of an artist and a chorus girl, far from respectable parents. When she finishes school, she does all she can to try to pull herself up in society, using her wit, intelligence, and sexuality. She ruthlessly climbs the social class ladder, but might have hit a small bump when she let herself fall in love.
The movie, while it has good intentions, fails to provide a smooth running plot. Instead, it it simply a viewing of the ways of Becky, played perfectly by Reese Witherspoon. Reese shines in the role, bringing humanity to the character, and makes you like Becky, despite her often malicious ways. However, not even she can make the plot clear in the first viewing. It took me a second time to love this movie.
The exotic feel of the Indian scenes is the best part, especially when Becky performs an Indian dance for the king. Its a beautiful scene. Also, the affection between Becky and Rawdon (a great James Purefoy) is endearing. A great movie, if you have the patience to figure it out.
