I wrote this post back in 2014, but the good news is you can still find the movie. I have updated the post to include my affiliate links, which means you can find the movie, and if you decide to purchase, I will earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

You might remember a couple of months ago; I was in Los Angeles and was lucky enough to attend the Delivery Man red carpet event and after-party. I also had the opportunity to interview Vince Vaughn, which was amazing. I have always loved Vince Vaughn, and meeting him was amazing. I also received a copy of Deliver Man from Click Communications. Which is fabulous, but I had already purchased Delivery Man on Amazon, lol. I enjoyed the film and wanted to watch it again in my own home, away from the whole red carpet experience, to see if it made me feel different. Good news: I still love the movie; the red carpet did not blind me, and to make things even better, my husband loved the film.

10 Reasons I Liked Watching Delivery Man Again

Delivery Man is a good flick

If you haven’t already heard about Delivery Man, allow me to provide you with a brief overview. David Wazniak (Vince Vaughn) is a slacker. He drives the meat truck for his family’s business and is not a responsible boyfriend, and he finds out he is the father of 533 kids due to donations at the fertility clinic. David finds out that some of his children want to meet him and are planning to take David to court. Chris Pratt, who plays David’s lawyer, is great in the movie. He’s a father and a mess, but he loves David and wants to help him. He gives David simple directions to stay away from his kids, but David does not listen. He just has to see a few of them for himself. I would rather not give the movie away to anyone who has not seen it. I always get so mad when I read something, and it tells me everything.

You can relate

The characters are like real people, and it’s easy to get attached to them. I found several parts of the movie where I could relate to what they were experiencing. Sure, the 533 kids are out there, or are they?

It’s funny, but just enough to make it work

Giggle at Delivery Man should not be all fun and games; it’s about a man who finds out he has 533 kids AND later finds out his girlfriend is pregnant. It cannot all be funny, or in my opinion it would not be as good as it is. In my opinion, Delivery Man has the perfect mix of funny. There are parts of the film where I bust up; most of the comedy is David getting himself into the mess he is in. Oh, and his lawyer buddy is great; there are a few parts you cannot help but giggle at because he is such a mess.

Friendship

You’ll love Brett (Chris Pratt) in the film. I found myself rooting for David’s lawyer. He is a good man, raising his children; who cares about David, and nobody has confidence in him? Brett is David’s part-time lawyer and full-time best friend. Brett is a loyal friend to David; he is honest, cares, and does a lot because he cares. Oh, come on, when have you ever seen Chris Pratt not play a positive role? He’s great and he he plays a great role in the movie.
Being parents makes you feel proud, and your kids do not even have to do anything.

I am sure many of you have had that moment when you just look at your kid and feel proud. You are proud to be in their lives and part of who they are. You love them for who they are and are proud of them no matter what.

Delivery Man isn’t has farfetched as one might think

I know 533 kids sounds a little crazy, but if you spend a little time googling the subject online, you will find other men who have a ridiculous amount of children because they spend their free time contributing to the world’s population. I found articles about fathers with more than 100 biological children. I was rather surprised when I learned how many articles I found.

Kids Don’t Listen

Another segment, arguably one of my most favored moments in the film, occurs when Brett, David’s best friend, remarks, “I can say anything I want in front of these kids; they do not listen to me.” I can relate to that feeling, and when my husband saw that part, he said, “Hit that one on the nose, did not he?”

Post-its

I use a Post-it for everything. I won’t say why, but it made me laugh.

Self-Discovery

I think many of us can relate to a time when we needed to find ourselves. As David embarks on his journey, it leads him to discover himself. I won’t spoil the film’s ending, but David learned he could be a father.

I cried, and I never cry!

True story: not many movies make me cry like a baby. The only one that I truly cried my eyes out watching was The Notebook, a wonderful movie, but dang. Well, I cried during Delivery Man. See, David finds out he has a handicapped son, who is in a wheelchair. It’s something I was able to relate to. My stepson is handicapped, which reminded me of when I didn’t know how to handle it. It seriously made me remember things that I had forgotten. Of course, I cried at the end of the movie because of the conversation between David and his father. There is something about those conversations coming from dads that makes me tear up. It was heartfelt and real, something I could see my father doing. I do not know; you might not cry, but I did. Which means I personally like Delivery Man. It’s a real movie, with real emotions.

I honestly wish Delivery Man would have received more credit. It’s a good flick, and it seems as if it did not get the attention it deserved. Plus, some of those movie critics… Well, I just don’t know. In my opinion, you need to review things with an open mind, knowing that not everyone is going to think like you. Rather than blowing things up and saying how horrible something is, tell people everything. Sure, if you disliked it, I want to know why, but I also want to know why I might like it. I do not know; I never agree with those movie critics. If they say it’s horrible, 90% of the time it’s a movie I am going to love!
