Delivery Man - review

Dave Wozniaki has an easy life. Working as a delivery driver for his dad’s meat packing business, he spends his time breezing through life with no real responsibilities. That is until his on-off girlfriend Emma tells him she’s pregnant.

Determined to step up and prove he’s capable of being an adult, Dave promises to stand by her and bring their baby up together, but when best friend and lawyer Brett informs him that 20 years after anonymously donating sperm at a clinic he’s the biological father of over 500 children, he discovers his parenting skills are needed a lot quicker than he expected.

Not only does Dave suddenly have to deal with the fact that he’s already a father, he soon learns that over 100 of his children want to unmask his identity and get to know him causing him a headache of epic proportions.

Presented with an envelope containing the profiles of his children, Dave is warned not to look at them, but with temptation staring him in the face he can’t help but take a look at least one of his children.

Remaining a stranger, Dave starts to casually inject himself into the lives of a few of them in order to get to know them better, but as he begins to learn about their joint desire to track down the man who gave them life, he soon realises there’s a lot more to fatherhood than he imagined – just in time for another child to be born!

I’m not a huge fan of Vince Vaughn as I always associate him with silly American movies, but I found this movie to be enjoyable if not slightly disappointing.

I’m glad I’ve seen it as it was one on my list to watch, but I felt as if something was missing.
