Critics Consensus

It has an undeniably sweet charm, and Vince Vaughn is eminently likable in the lead role, but The Delivery Man suffers in comparison to Starbuck, the hit Canadian comedy that inspired it.

This is a good film. It's lighthearted with some nice emotional and funny moments. Vince Vaughn and Chris Pratt give good performances.

One star only for Vince Vaughh acting. The story itself is somewhat interesting but the script is just awful. What are these kids' moms doing? Are they absent too?

"Delivery Man" may not be groundbreaking in terms of its plot or storytelling but it managed to win me over with its decent dramedy, heartwarming moments, and a cast that was firing on all cylinders. It's the type of movie that will leave you with a smile on your face and an appreciation for the power of family and love. So, if you're in the mood for an enjoyable and feel-good flick, give "Delivery Man" a shot.

Though labeled and advertised as a comedy, Delivery Man, has dramatic depth and an emotional pull. Vince Vaughn is charming as the reluctant father of hundreds of children and Chris Pratt is perfectly cast as his earnest, yet struggling friend. While the premise is a bit absurd, Vaughn's performance, along with the subtle brilliance of Pratt, elevates the material into an intriguing 105 minutes. You can see and feel the struggle as life-changing decisions are being made by the main character. The connection that is developed between David and some of his children, especially Ryan, helps make the whole situation seen somewhat believable. However, in order to fully enjoy the film, you have to throw rationale out the window and ignore the gnawing thought that no one could successfully father 533 children. Though I thought some of the character motivations were superficial (So, a loan shark threatened his dad?) and relationships underdeveloped (Who even is Emma and why is she dating David?), it was an emotionally gripping film I would gladly recommend.

It is difficult to agree with the point that the movie is trying to make, and it would not affect the viewing if it wasn't that it goes so hard in proving it has the right point to make. The protagonist is responsible for the kids he fathered as a sperm donor, and there does not seem to be any other way to look at it that the movie is interested in. Thus, the family of the fathered children, the condition by which they have been led to artificial insemination, are left out entirely to present the absolute dogma that the biological father matters more than the nurturing environment, and the doner should be aware of that. Now, by focusing on the excessively magnanimous and beyond tolerance reliable Vince Vaugh, the movie too conveniently leaves in the background the argument in the clinic, which should have rendered the whole bunch of kids gathering for their philological checkup, the target of a satire on tenegers ingratitude.

A sentimental exploration of what fatherhood means that doesn't overdo it with the sperm gags, it's a rather charming if unexceptional dramedy.

Observer (UK)

The tone wavers between the pantomime and the mawkish and while little has been lost in translation, less still has been gained.

Alas, the hero is played by Vince Vaughn, a limited actor whose range extends from petulant to homicidal.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Delivery Man continuously goes on to shovel the sloppiest, most useless, and fakest syrup of self-gratifying and self-serving sludge this side of every single Adam Sandler movie for the past decade.

Vaughn hands in a charming performance with all the rough edges buffed away in a movie that is unabashedly sweet - some might say corny - but there is no cynicism here and that is the movie's main strength.

Rated: 3.5/5

The real pity here is that Vince Vaughn actually does stretch himself a bit and is mostly successful at doing so.
