With Pleasantville, Cruel Intentions and Election, Reese Witherspoon was on a roll. This could be regarded as one of her misfires and it went straight to video over here, though it's an entertaining enough teen romp. Paul Rudd plays a frustrated student who drowns his sorrows with a stripper (Witherspoon) when he discovers that his virginal girlfriend is apparently stepping out with a jock. Having sent compromising evidence of his sexual prowess through the post to his girlfriend, he is horrified to discover that she has been with a dog rather than a fellow student. He and Witherspoon then have 24 hours to intercept the post. The two leads spark off each other quite nicely, but it's a slight affair.
