I watched this film a few years ago at Christmas time, with my two children. We thoroughly enjoyed it, it is a super heartwarming and humorous film! Andy Dick plays a fantastic part, as does David Lewis. I only wish my family and I could watch it again, especially as Christmas is almost here. It doesn't seem to have been played again on TV (in the UK), nor can I find it on DVD (I have been looking for the past few years on and off). This is very disappointing! I would be very grateful if information could be given of any further showings of Special Delivery, or if it could be bought on DVD anywhere. I find it amazing that such a wonderful film isn't aired every Christmas on TV.

"Special Delivery" starring Andy Dick is one of the best TV movies that has been produced. It is a Christmas favorite for our entire family. We recorded it in 2000, the year that it was on Fox Family TV, I believe. We watch it as a family tradition each Christmas when we get together. It is so well written and could not have been cast any better than Andy Dick. It is one of the few clean family movies that has come out in the past ten years. The children, parents, grandparents and cousins all gather around the TV each year when we watch with anticipation as if we've never seen it before. I would love to have a DVD of this movie if it would be available. If not, I think it should be made available for other families to have a chance to watch this. I don't see that it is televised any more but would love to see it return to the small screen each year where clean family fun can be had by all.

Sure it is not perfect. And yes there are over expressed stereo-types but as the movie matures these mellow into a very warm and happy movie. Enjoyable unless you expect everything underdone or never improving on a character study. Some just hate good, even over acted dorky good, finding a happy place in the world. Should be on DVD! A lost baby and a California kid in cold hockey country that actually knows hockey. A warm movie in a very cold time of year that entertains in a holiday sense without over pandering a seasonal theme. A classic in a basic warm and happy sense like a Santa Claus is Coming to Town. I mean really though those are classics (really) they are no masterpiece of storyline right?

God forbid should you ever see this movie!Its that bad.The concept, the story could have been good, but 'thanks' to the idiotic, dumber-than-dumb-beyond-any-imagination Lloyd's main character this flick is totally indigestible. I guarantee you'll puke all over your TV screen within first 5 minutes watching Andy Dick as Lloyd. Seeing lots of bad flicks before (I actually enjoy many cheesy, low-budget TV comedies) I swear I have NOT seen worse acting nor more unbelievably stupid character! Give yourself a favor and STARE AT THE WALL OR CEILING for 90 minutes instead of seeing this flick, it'll probably be more entertaining than this.0/10PS: Fiona, you don't need to register few times just to repeat how much you like it, or to give my opinion negative mark again and again :) We do get it - you really love this flick ;)
