High school sweethearts Wyatt Trips (Paul Rudd) and Kimberly Jasney (Christine Taylor) are dealing with a long distance relationship as they attend different colleges. He phones her but her roommate seems to suggest that Kimberly has a new guy. Heartbroken and angry, he goes to a strip club and gets involved with dancer Ivy Miller (Reese Witherspoon). She convinces him to write her a Dear John letter. They send it overnight delivery with a fake used condom and photo. Hal Ipswich is the overly dedicated new delivery man.
The rom-com road trip is a long standing movie tradition. First, his friends need to be the ones who drag him to the strip club. This is led by two future comedic movie stars early in their careers along with a couple of interesting supporting actors. Rudd and Witherspoon have many of their future moves. I think Witherspoon would blame it on her hair color and being blonde could have helped to accentuate her personality. It needed something and it's so close to being actually good. The two future stars keep almost connecting. They do get somewhere by the end and that does save it. I notice her hair is a little lighter in the sunshine done up in a ponytail at the end. Hmmm... I wonder.
