Bottom Line: Fleeting, farcical
and yet still somewhat funny – this tale of a man trying to do right by many of
the 533 kids he unknowingly sired via ‘donations’ works in
fits and starts. A more subdued Vince
Vaughn is at play here and it’s a welcome addition to the cache of smooth, fast talking, manic goofballs he’s
played in the past. He’s trying
something a little different this time out – not serious mind you, just a
little more grounded. As a whole, it’s a pretty formulaic and forgettable
flick that could have been better and should have been
a whole lot worse. It
doesn’t consistently deliver the goods – but when it does, with its big fluffy heart firmly displayed on its sleeve, you’ll
be shocked at how effectively some - SOME - of the emotions ring true.

comes "Delivery Man", the story of affable underachiever David
Wozniak, whose mundane life is turned upside down when he finds out that he
fathered 533 children through sperm donations he made twenty years earlier. In
debt to the mob, rejected by his pregnant girlfriend, things couldn't look
worse for David when he is hit with a lawsuit from 142 of the 533
twenty-somethings who want to know the identity of the donor. As David
struggles to decide whether or not he should reveal
his true identity, he embarks on a journey that leads him to discover not only
