mathmaniac I heard about this movie because it has Chris Pratt when he was a bit pudgier. I wanted to see for myself!While watching the movie, it occurred to me that the main character was thrust into a situation in which he experiences a lot of the bad parts of parenting that you can have when your child reaches adulthood. With none of the fun of seeing them develop and raising them through tougher but more manageable stages when they are growing. It also occurred to me that the main character is extremely lucky because no matter what he comes across as he meets the young adult offspring, he can't possibly be eaten up by guilt and worry because it's just plain impossible when you talk about the number of children he gave his seed to create!At one point, he is dealing with a disabled son and you know: he can only visit him, he can't financially provide for him, he can't advocate for him. His time is limited in parenting so many offspring. Add to this the total absence (I mean zero presence) of any mother to any of multitude. It beggars belief.I enjoyed the movie, however. I thought as I watched it that there's a real future in many men spreading many seeds far and wide, creating tribes. They wouldn't have to share any beliefs. They wouldn't have to have modifications to their bodies (like circumcision or tattoos) but they would just call themselves the 'Tribe of Orange' or 'Tribe of Zemo' or 'Tribe of Triple W' and meet for festivals, set up message boards, wear tee-shirts broadcasting their membership. It's the future! These tribes wouldn't share beliefs but they would be a reason to congregate, just for fun!And also (not mentioned in the movie) a way to identify each other so they wouldn't end up marrying each other. I ended up buying the director's original telling of this story in the film, 'Starbuck.' When I saw the trailer, I recognized at least half of the scenes as being frame-for-frame the same as the American adaptation. I wonder what it will be like to view this with a French setting, French language, French actors - the originals!There have been excellent French films horribly adapted to the American screen. I hope that is not the case with this movie. It's such a great story, though, that I sent the French 'Starbuck' to a friend who speaks French. She will enjoy it, never having seen the story in any language.

mholtebeck Watch this movie and assume you are going to hate it, and you will be pleasantly surprisedIt's not an awful movie. David is basically every Vince Vaughn character I've ever seen, so he shouldn't be likable. He isn't really, but by the end I liked the guy.It's not really all that funny, but I laughed. It's very sappy, but in the end- it was fun movie.I had to suspend my reality chip, because I couldn't understand how David would choose to remain anonymous after meeting some of his children. He has nothing, so they can't get anything from himEven after they pass verdict against the sperm bank, he can't come public, or lose the award. Legally I don't understand how that can be, but the movie would miss one of the nicest scenes without that device.Of Vince Vaughn movies with couples, it's 10 times better than Couples Retreat or The Break Up. That's a low bar, but I enjoyed the movie.

charlesj-19419 I'm not a fan of Vince Vaughn. And the premise for this movie sounded terrible - the advert made it sound particularly slapstick, like it would basically be one long jerk-off joke. The title - as a play on words of "delivery" is cheap. But the film, once you get past the initial set-up of the character as one of life's losers, is really good. It was on TV, and I only had it on while I was cooking for something to be on. I caught clips then had a phone call. Surprised myself by then buying it to find out about the bits I missed and how it panned out. It is a comedy, but it is warm, and well written. Am not a clever reviewer, and if I saw a review that said "heartfelt" I'd read it as "good effort", I really enjoyed it, and thought that was worth sharing.

Annie Palone I am a true Vince Vaughn fan, so I have wanted to see this for a long time....and it was well worth the wait! I loved how he kinda stalked his kids to just basically spend some time with them, how he kinda parented from a far. He may be sort of a messed up person, but he has a really good heart. This is one of those feel good movies, that will make you laugh and cry...Vince never disappoints me, and I will watch this movie again and again. I loved every second of this movie and would like to see where this story goes....maybe they will do a Delivery Man 2? Idk...but either way...watch this movie, you will like it...especially if you like Vince Vaughn, he is friggin hilarious!!!
