Delivery Man


Review by Joseph Anthony

David Wozniak (Vince Vaughn) is the delivery guy for his family's meat company. From the start he seems unreliable in every area of his life. As his girlfriend breaks up with him and announces her pregnancy simultaneously, David realizes he might want to be a father, despite his best friend and lawyer urging him not to (the always-likable Chris Pratt from PARKS AND RECREATION).

David’s desire to become a father is quickly fulfilled 533 fold. He finds out his samples from the sperm bank, which was made 20 years prior, was used almost exclusively by the bank. This makes him the father to hundreds of children, many of whom file a lawsuit in hopes that David will reveal his identity.

[STARBUCK opens in Cleveland on Friday May 31st exclusively at the Capitol Theatre.]

Review by Matt Finley

Plenty of words have been expended in the name of films that we enjoy in spite of ourselves – so-called guilty pleasures that are too asinine, too incompetent, too stupid, raunchy, explodey, sappy or predictable to warrant true artistic props… but also calibrated just right to dead-center an individual’s own unique pop cultural preferences. But what about films we enjoy in spite of the films themselves?

My reaction to Canadian comedian and filmmaker Ken Scott’s STARBUCK, while far from a revelation, did make me wonder why I don’t feel this way more often – here we have a blatant feel-good comedy that really wants to evoke warm fuzzies, really doesn’t give a spit about structure and storytelling, and really, actually *urk!* (at least for me) evoked warm fuzzies. GRR!
