Delivery Man Review

***Disclosure-My family and I attended an advance screening.  All opinions stated are based on my own personal experience.

Do you remember back in July I had an exclusive clip of the Delivery Man trailer?  If you do not, click here to watch it now?

This movie struck a cord with me.  Did you read my post?  If you do not remember, go back and see why this movie relates to me...and then come back for my review.

playing hold music NOW........

 

Based on:                     The original screenplay “Starbuck,” written by Ken Scott and Martin Petit

DreamWorks Pictures’ “Delivery Man” stars Vince Vaughn as affable underachiever David Wozniak, whose anonymous donations to a fertility clinic 20 years earlier resulted in 533 children. David must now embark on a journey that leads him to discover not only his true self but also the father that he could become.

My thoughts-My husband and son both asked what movie we were about to watch.  I told them it was a movie about my dad.  They both laughed.  And when the movie started they both got it.  This movie was so hilarious.  There are some lines in the movie that have you laughing for awhile.  It is also a heartfelt movie that is perfect for the season.  You know I will not ruin the movie for you but will tell you, my husband and teen son really did enjoy themselves.  They both thought is was really funny as well.

So grab your family and come watch David and see was up with him having 533 kids?

That is just not normal or is it?

I like the poster phrase, "You're never quite ready for what life delivers!"
