“You’re never quite ready for what life delivers.”
Wanted to watch something light on my transcontinental flight; and under ‘Comedies’ this one had a decent rating and popped up. Written and Directed by French Ken Scott, who brought us the comedy/drama “Starbuck’ in 2011 and aptly received 9 wins and 14 other nominations, decided to give this old film a new American take and probably gross more earnings. Can we teach an old dog new tricks; or in other words take an older French movie and make it new American one? The answer is: You most certainly can!
With an estimated budget of $26 million USD, ‘Delivery Man’ grossed $30 million USD and not only delivered plenty of laughs but also some heart-felt emotions by it’s audience. Young adults experiencing trouble and wanting and missing the love, admiration and support from their parents is enough to play a tune on anyones heart-strings. Vince Vaughn, Chris Pratt, Bobby Moynihan, Simon Delaney, Cobie Smulders and over 100 actors came together to make this movie a reality.
Makes for a good night of fun and shares a wonderful message to our audience in that we must remember to do what’s right despite the urges or fear to do what’s wrong.
