Imagine hearing the news that you have fathered 533 children because of your very “charitable” donations to a Fertility Clinic 20 years ago. Now imagine 142 of them suing the clinic to finally bring to light who their anonymous donor was.

In the 105 minute comedy “Delivery Man,” David Woznak (Vince Vaughn) stars as a meat delivery man for his family’s meat-packing business. An overall undriven man in his forties, Woznak struggles to keep a relationship with his cop girlfriend, Emma (Cobie Smoulders), who consequently is pregnant and doubtful of his fathering abilities. He is also the biological father of 533 children.

With tens of thousands of dollars of debt due to the friendly neighborhood loan shark, Woznak keeps running into all of life’s dead ends.

When 142 of his children go to court to fight for the right to know who their father is, Woznak pulls in his friend, Brett (Chris Pratt), to become his lawyer in the case against the children. Pratt starred as the quirky non-lawyer lawyer.

On a self-fabricated journey to better the lives of his “children,” Woznak pulls their profiles from a folder full all of his children who want to find out who he is. He then goes on to pride himself with helping a handful of his children with their lives.

Somewhere along his quest to better the lives of his children, he takes a trip to a care home for the disabled. He meets one of his sons, and spends a heart wrenching day with his him. The impact those scenes had on me were unforgettable.  The amount of love in this scene makes you think about life in a way you may have never thought about it before.

To me, Vince Vaughn is a rather boring, monotone actor who usually has no effect on me. I’ve seen his popular movies, including “The Internship,” and “The Dilemma.”  In this movie, I partly felt the bore of his acting, but at some parts, I felt the emotion through his acting. I saw through his eyes when he felt pain when his children did, and happiness when something good happened to himself or others.

Other than a bucket-full of overused language in order to get a few chuckles, the message of the movie was noteworthy.

Head over to Blue Oaks Century Theaters, UA Olympus Pointe 12, or any theater near you to see “Delivery Man” because worth the watch.
