Delivery Man—well done and entertaining—examines sperm donation from the angle of ‘I want to meet my biological father.’ David Wozniak (Vince Vaughn), who delivers meat for the Wozniak family’s meat business, finds that his college sperm donations fathered 533 children of which 142 have filed suit to release records that will allow them to meet him. David has his own life ‘going on’ with his pregnant girlfriend, Emma (Cobie Smulders), and difficulties with debt to gangsters.

Buy a
ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes.
This film more than works for the adult audience.
If— unusually kind and gentle—earns its watch recommendation. Its poignant reminder that everyone needs their childhood imaginary friend all through life is sweetly delivered and can be well received. Director John Krasinski (A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place Part 2) also acts in the movie along with Cailey Fleming, Ryan Reynolds and Fiona Shaw. It's a complicated watch that more than deserves its addition to the home video library. Be aware there is a bit of 'language' that may need some editing before watching as a family share. This is a terrific example of a movie that provides good, after viewing discussion time.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. This movie rates high on the creativity scale and has been exceptionally well-written. Do a reading of the plotline and perhaps a little research into imaginary friends before diving in to watch. It's a high level share movie that works for the whole family...no time to go get popcorn as the movie completely engages the intellect and relies on multiple flash-back scenes to tell the story. Good work for all who cooperatively produced this highly needful movie.
