I have seen this film many times since it first came out and every single time I am entertained from beginning to the very end. With such a heartwarming film and one that leaves me smiling every single time I could not recommend this film enough!

I did not know that this was an American remake when I watched it. I have since found out that it is, and apparently it is much better. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, I don't know, I haven't seen it. I really did enjoy this film though. Colbie Smoulders is beautiful and her acting is good. Chris Pine was a scene stealer and Vince Vaugn was a great lead, he is charming and charismatic. The story is great, it is very original (I know it is a remake, you know what I mean) it has some funny moment, some sad moments, and a nice heartwarming ending. It is better than the current imdb score. This is a good film.

I rarely leave comments and review any movies I've watched, but this film struck me enough that I feel compelled to pen my thoughts down.Most of the critics are slamming the film for being a remake of two existing films (yes, it's not original), but as someone who hasn't seen those two, I thoroughly enjoyed myself with this movie. This whole movie was undeniably believable. Sure, there were some gaps in logic, but those can easily be fixed with about 30 mins more screen time. I can't fault them for not producing a longer movie. Just fill in the gaps for yourself. Anyway, I thought the direction was superb, tight, controlled, and the characters gave an excellent performance. It wasn't forced, and being billed as a "comedy", I was surprised that there weren't people just randomly goofing about. Vince's performance was almost flawless. I am astonished he managed to pull off his character considering he's a 'comedy typecast'. The set design was excellent, the cinematography was A+, and so was the (lack of) background music. Occurrences of comedy bits were quite sparing, instead relying on subtle lines and the charisma of the main characters (Chris Pratt gave a brilliant performance) to deliver those laughs. It worked perfectly I feel, this entire movie, and it's a pity it ain't being recognised for what it really is. A feel-good, yet deep and thought-provoking film that will impact you in one way or another.

Delivery Man 2/10- There is not a whole lot I can say about this movie. I thought the premise of the movie had a lot of potential, but it was not directed well and as a result the movie suffered from it. A comedy where a man who is all ready down on his luck and then finds out that he is the biological father of 533 children sounds like a good comedy that Vince Vaughn could pull off. Sadly, the movie leans more towards the heartfelt side of cinema then comedy that we are all used to from Vince Vaughn. I have nothing against those feel-good movies and in- fact I enjoy them often, but I was really looking for a some laughs when I came in to this movie and I could not help but feel disappointed. The jokes were poorly written and executed. I think it was apparent that Vince Vaughn did not give his best effort in this movie, but again he had very few jokes to work with and it was hard to blame him for it. Everything else in the movie I had no problem with, but it just made me a little sad that a movie that looks hilarious with such a great idea turns out to be a heart-felt film with comedy on the side. If you want to take your family to see something and frozen is already sold out, Delivery Man is something you can try, but otherwise, wait for this to come out on DVD.
