Delivery Man is a 2013 comedy-drama film directed by Ken Scott and is a remake of his own 2011 French-Canadian film, Starbuck. The movie stars Vince Vaughn, Chris Pratt, and Cobie Smulders in pivotal roles. The story follows the life of a delivery driver named David Wozniak (Vince Vaughn) who learns that he has fathered 533 children through sperm donation.

David Wozniak is a middle-aged, immature man who works for his father's meat-delivery business. He constantly finds himself in trouble with the law, has a mediocre job, and his girlfriend, Emma (Cobie Smulders), is considering breaking up with him. One day, he discovers that he has fathered 533 children from anonymous donations he made to a fertility clinic 20 years ago. Out of curiosity, he decides to look up some of the records of his children and learns that they have filed a lawsuit to force the fertility clinic to reveal their father's identity.

David's journey begins when he realizes how much his sperm donations have impacted the lives of these 533 individuals. His curiosity turns into an obsession, and he starts to anonymously help his children. He begins to follow their lives, becomes their guardian angel, and starts to intervene in their lives in various ways. He wants to be there for them, change their lives for the better, and make up for his absence in their lives.

As David tries to anonymously help out each of his offspring, he faces challenges and hurdles along the way. His latest journey with his grown-up children takes him on an unexpected path of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and finally, fatherhood. The film explores the complexities of family, fatherhood, and the importance of human connection. The underlying theme throughout the movie is that family is not just about biology, but also about love, acceptance, and being there for each other.

The movie also features a strong supporting cast, including Chris Pratt as David's best friend and lawyer, Brett, who tries to support him in his journey. Cobie Smulders plays Emma, David's girlfriend, who is dealing with her own challenges and trying to decide if she wants to continue with the relationship or move on.

Delivery Man is an excellent blend of comedy and drama that will leave its audience feeling happy and fulfilled. Vince Vaughn excels in his role as David Wozniak, bringing heart and humor to the character. His performance captures the character's vulnerability, immaturity, and willingness to learn and grow.

The movie is well-paced and does an excellent job of balancing humor and emotions. It features several great comedic moments, mostly revolving around David's interactions with his children, as he tries to help them without them realizing his identity. But it also has touching moments that explore the emotional resonance and the significance of finding your biological father. The movie also tackles serious topics such as cancer, disability, and adoption, but it does so with sensitivity and emotional depth.

The movie's soundtrack features an eclectic mix of soulful and uplifting music that complements the story well. The cinematography is also excellent, capturing the vibe of New York City, where the film is set.

In conclusion, Delivery Man is an engaging and heartwarming film that explores the complex nature of parenthood and the importance of human connection. Vince Vaughn's outstanding performance and the solid supporting cast make it an enjoyable film from start to finish. The movie's thematic elements, well-written plot, and humorous moments make it an excellent watch for those who love comedy-drama film genres.

Delivery Man is a 2013 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 44 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.3 and a MetaScore of 44.
