    Interesting...

    I watched this movie, and I didn't quite know what to expect. I got everything I wanted.

    The general storyline was a little predictable (hmm, she agrees to drive him cross-country to meet his girlfriend, and they end up falling in love. Who would've thought?) But the story unfolding on the screen (ignoring the premise behind it) was cute, and very entertaining. If you can get past the fact that this movie has a pretty basic "Yeah, you all know they're gonna fall in love" idea, then you will enjoy this movie.

    Senseless, but a riot

    This movie makes little sense--how Reese Witherspoon's character would fall for Paul Rudd's babyish character is a bit of a stretch. But the scenes on the road and the climax are hilarious. I'd never heard of this movie before I caught it on TV. I'm going to tape it. Great for any time you're looking for a nice brainless comedy. (Christine Armstrong is a great snotty prude too.)

    Not so bad!

    Not the best film I've ever seen, but it is entertaining.

    The screenplay was originally written by Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma) and was then re-written by so many people that his name was omitted from the film. His trademark "Jaws" reference remains!

    However, there are bits of dialogue that were obviously Smith's or were at least adapted from his original dialogue.

    Worth watching, but don't expect too much!

    Enjoyable, Cute and Underrated

    I really liked this film. Its really fun and amusing and definatly better than alot of similar teen comedies like 'Loser' and 'She's all That' which are better known and got released at cinemas. Rudd and Witherspoon are both very likeable, while the film has a good sountrack and is short so as not to become tiresome. Jokes mostly hit the mark and there are a few which are very 'Kevin Smith-esq', obviously remaining from his much edited original script. If you want to watch a largely harmless, light hearted, and above all a cute and funny teen romance then you could do alot worse than give this one a rent if you can find it.

    Rating: 6.5/10

    Funny...

    This film reminded me a bit of "The Sure Thing" with John Cusack, but in this case, the girl wasn't a Sure thing at all. Reese Witherspoon really rocks in this movie. Not is good as "Clueless" (also with Paul Rudd) but still worth seeing.

    • Trivia
      An early version of the script written by Kevin Smith featured a cameo appearance by him and Jason Mewes reprising their characters Jay and Silent Bob.
    • Goofs
      Trips doesn't tell Ivy that he and Kimberly are celibate until they're halfway to Des Moines, yet she seems to know this when she's helping him compose his Dear Jane letter.
    • Quotes

      Ivy: Slut? Oh, oh, no. If I wanna bag a professor from one of my classes, I will, but nobody, and I mean nobody, calls me a slut, so the next time you feel like casting aspersions on my character, try remembering that this quote unquote slut is driving your judgmental ass all the way to Des Moines. So a little decency would be in order. Got it? Good.

    • Alternate versions
      In the TV version, when Kimberly is dictating the letter to Wyatt on the computer, her utterance of "...jerked off..." is changed to "...drooled...". However, the original words remain during a subsequent shot of the letter on the computer's monitor.
