Delivery Man Review

I recently went to go and see the film 'Delivery Man'. It is about a middle-aged sperm donor called David Wozniak who is a massive underachiever. He discovers 20 years after donating that he is the father of 533 children, 142 of which want to know who their biological father is; thus he possesses the nickname 'Starbuck', as in the name of the sperm bank. The movie consists of David doing everything he can to protect his identity, but trying to make a difference to his children's lives at the same time. Getting to know each of his children make him start to consider whether he should expose himself as Starbuck or not. It stars comedy king, Vince Vaughn. Obviously I was very excited when I heard he was going to be in it as he is one of my favourite actors, but this also meant I had high expectations for the film. Without sounding biased, Vaughn delivered a sound performance, as ever, and the movie in general was very funny and surprisingly heartfelt at moments. Cobie Smulders played alongside Vaughn as David's pregnant girlfriend, Emily. In my opinion, she has never been an incredibly admirable actress to me, judging on 'How I Met Your Mother'. Therefore I feel she slightly held Vaughn back in some parts of the movie. Chris Pratt played David's lawyer in the movie, delivering a pleasant performance. All in all, I would recommend the movie very much, and even though there are many great movies out at the moment, this is a must-see.
