In this Dreamworks-financed, Vince Vaughn-led comedy, Vaughn plays an average delivery man with relationship problems who discovers that a mix-up with his sperm bank donations 20 years ago have led to him amassing 533 biological children. On a quest to be a guardian angel of sorts to this small town worth of children, Vaughn’s David Wozniak makes important discoveries about his own life decisions and the parents he may have been.

Delivery Man is a remake of the 2011 French-Canadian film Starbuck written and directed by Ken Scott who will again be directing and penning this one. It’s rare that a director will remake his own film in another language, the only other example that comes directly to mind is Michael Haneke‘s Funny Games which was originally done in German and remade 10 years later in English (which I hated), so we’ll see how this one turns one.

The original version didn’t quite light the world on fire but it was a mild success for what it was. Seems like Scott and Dreamworks are banking on the star power of Vaughn to propel this one to mass appeal. Have a look at the trailer and see if you would be willing to invest 12 bucks to see this in theaters.
