Some background on “Delivery Man“In this heartwarming comedy, underachiever David Wozniak (Vince Vaughn) learns he’s actually an overachiever, he’s fathered 533 children via donations made twenty years earlier! David soon discovers that the shock of his life might just be the best thing that’s ever happened to him. Along the way he discovers not only his true self, but also the father he could become. Also starring Chris Pratt and Cobie Smulders — and complete with bonus materials, including behind-the-scenes footage — it’s a feel-good movie that really delivers.
The first thing I noticed when I got this was the saying on the front, “You’re never quite ready for what life delivers”, I am sure many of us know just how true that is.
I have always liked Vince Vaughn, but honestly have not seen many of his movies. I do remember seeing the commercial and thinking that the movie looked funny but it was a bit more than just funny. I was pleasantly surprised.
As soon as the guy from SNL I knew were off to a good start. I love a good comedy! Seeing what looked like NYC and the fact that he worked for a Pork Store brought back many memories of my childhood.
Could you imagine being informed that you fathered 533 children? When the lawyer appeared in his apartment, his reaction was so funny. I did find it odd that somehow everyone was able to get into his place when he wasn’t there. The lawyer then gave him an envelope full of profiles of some of the kids he fathered. Would you open the envelope? I would!
Everyday he picked a different profile and went and found that person and he acted like a true parent immediately even though he didn’t know them. I thought that was awesome and it shows the bond that a parent feels for their child.
I did love the advertisement on the taxi for Epic Mickey 2. I had to yell “Hidden Mickey”.
The most touching scene was him with his disabled son Ryan. He always included him in everything. That actor was amazing. That is very hard part to play. He accepted all of them unconditionally, which is how it should be
He accidentally finds himself in a room full of the children that he fathered. I could not even imagine how that would feel. I wondered how long it would take until someone found him out. Well that was revealed soon.
Throughout the movie I assumed his reasons for donating were selfish but I found out that I was very wrong. You will have to watch and find out the reason.
He did win the right to stay anonymous, yet he couldn’t do it. I loved how he told all of them, very fitting in this day and time.
I liked the movie more than I thought I would. I like that it showed Vince is not just a comedian but he can also play a little more serious.
The ending was great. I can’t think of a better place for them all to meet.
Now on to the Bonus Features:
First up is Building Family: You get a behind the scenes look at how they feel about the story-line from the people behind the scenes and learn some fun facts about the cast. Example: I know Vince Vaughn is tall, but he is 6’5!
Next is Vince Vaughn Off the Cuff: Out takes are always funny and there are no different. Vince Vaughn can go on and on and on, even without a script.
There is one deleted scene. I don’t know how it ended up on the cutting room floor.
Last but certainly not least is my favorite, the bloopers: I think the best bloopers come from the funniest actors. So needless to say you will get a good laugh out of these.
I give this movie a B.
Wishing you Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust
