Review of Delivery Man (2013) by Dawdlingpoet — 27 Nov 2021

I didn't find this particularly appealing or even especially funny to start with but in the last quarter or so, it did become quite positive and even uplifting. Its cheesy and amusing after a while and I enjoyed seeing the TV presenters talking about the case on TV, in the film (even the BBC is mentioned specifically by name in the film).

I suppose it is a somewhat thought provoking film. Vince gives a fairly good performance in this film as a somewhat likeable average joe type, who finds himself in an extraordinary situation. There are worse films than this and there are better - if your really interested in seeing it then it may be worth a watch, yes, otherwise I wouldn't especially go out of your way to see it but like I say, its not bad.

Maybe people might think its too cheesy towards the end but I liked that aspect of it - its not what I'd regard to be over the top, unnecessarily sentimental - ok it is certainly a bit sentimental but not in an entirely bad way.
