Delivery Man stars Vince Vaughn as David Wozniak, a delivery driver for his families meat business, who 20 years earlier donated sperm to a fertility clinic, and now discovers that he is the father of 533 children, a large number of whom now want to know who he is.
This is quite a heartwarming film, with plenty to say about fatherhood, however it is ostensibly supposed to be a comedy, whilst it is quite a fun film, the laughs are very much lacking. For me it failed the basic 6 laugh test. It is not a bad film, I didn't come out wanted my 100 minutes back, but I'm just not sure it is quite what the film-maker set out to achieve.
Fun and heartwarming, with something to say in a world where a lot of fathers are absent, it works on that level. Worth seeing if the brutal reality of 12 years a slave doesn't fit your mood. You may leave with a smile, just don't expect to many laughs along the way 7/10
