I am pretty impressed with the recent choices of Vince Vaughn. The movies are not quite what I have expected since most of his past movies are rubbish. Delivery Man is a breath of fresh air. Mr. Vaughn has finally learned to speak his dialogues in a normal manner, THANK GOD!
I love the premise of the movie because it is quite unique. The protagonist having fathered 533 children through a sperm donor clinic. Apparently, they think his sperm is high- quality and was wrongly used several times by the same clinic. Why high quality as mentioned by the rep of the clinic? I am not sure because the originator of all those sperms does not meet that description exactly. David Wozniac, also anonymously known in the film as "Starbuck" is a meat delivery man for their family business. As his father points out in the latter part of the movie, he takes four times as long to deliver as most normal delivery guys does. He owns a lot of money because he gets easily scammed by just about anyone. The guy is basically an irresponsible slob. His choice of sidekick is his childhood friend whom I am not exactly sure if married or single parent to four children nor a licensed practitioner of law. Throughout the movie, we see the character's maturity grow after being informed of his "situation" and one by one attempts to bond with his "children".
The movie tries to be a feel good one or rather tries too hard. There are several parts that seems redundant or useless and I felt there are parts that weren't executed very well. On the other hand, there are scenes that are heart- felt and hilarious. Is it an enjoyable film? It is. Is it worth to watch in a cinema? Probably not. Unless you have money to spare. If not, wait for HBO.
Rating: 5/10
