Delivery Man [Review]

I got to admit...I really love comedy movie....especially the Hollywood's one, with a lot of beautiful stories to learn from. 

 Delivery Man is one of those....well, it's predictable, nothing new but it helps to give a good laughter and lift one up. A movie that I'll recommend to anyone who wanna watch with their friends or even loved ones.
DELIVERY MAN


 Synopsis:

 “Delivery Man” is a story about an affable underachiever David Wozniak (Vince Vaughn), whose mundane life gets twisted in a knot when he finds out that he fathered 533 children via sperm donations he made twenty years earlier. In debt to the mob, rejected by his pregnant girlfriend, things couldn’t look worse for David when he’s hit with a lawsuit from 142 of the 533 twenty somethings who want to know the identity of the donor. As David struggles to decide whether or not he should reveal his true identity, he embarks on a journey that leads him to discover not only his true self but the father he could become as well.

 Alright, when I first read the synopsis, I was shocked and did a Google search on it and up come Starbuck. It was then that I realized this is a remake of the movie "Starbuck". Well, for those of you who not know, the "Starbuck" here has nothing to do with coffee but the name that David Wozniak used to conceal his real identity as a sperm donor. 

 The movie started with the right tone, with a setting that shows how lousy David was in doing his work...the parking tickets...how he showed up late and regardless of the countless times that he was reminded of the company jersey, he still managed to fail to get it done. There was a lot of funny scenes even at the start of the movie...the many failed attempts in getting a loan to repay his 100k debt to the mob. Then, his visit to his girlfriend, revealing about him becoming a father soon but his girlfriend, Emma preferred to deal it on her own...complaining about him being unreliable.
Chris Pratt and Vince Vaughn in the funny movie: Delivery Man
The scene where him talking with his best friend and lawyer, Brett about being a parent was hilarious. It was lovely, warm and funny at the same time...it just makes you wanna start a family as well....(okay, I'm exaggerating)....but Chris was awesome in his role as Brett. (God, he even fatten himself for that role....a big thumbs up!!)

 Well, after that comes the real deal...a lawyer appearing at his doorstep, telling him that he's hit with a lawsuit by 142 of the 533 twenty something children that he has after some error in the clinic of which he went to donate sperm under the name: "Starbuck".

 After that, it was about his curiosity to find out these kids, to learn about them and know about their lives....and he even tried to be their "Guardian Angel".

 Some of the chemistry between him and his "children" were awesome....of course, after some time, you will notice how unrealistic the movie is. 

 It was all sweet, lovely and amazing....this movie just make you feel hopeful...so if you're struggling with life, whether you are at your 20s or 40s, it doesn't really matter....there is always a chance to get things right. 
533 children? Really?

This part if awkward and funny at the same time
I watched the movie with my 2 buddies in the cinema...it's definitely worth the money....not the best movies that I've seen but one that I'll recommend going if you are looking for something to laugh about and to be hopeful of after the show....

Superman’ Review: A Charming but Chaotic Attempt to Restart the DCU with Heart — and a Lot of Noise

  James Gunn’s   Superman   had one job — to kickstart a brand-new DC Universe with clarity, confidence, and purpose. What we got instead is a quirky, overstuffed spectacle that bounces between heartfelt sincerity and Saturday morning cartoon mayhem, never quite settling into a rhythm strong enough to lift this hero off the ground. On paper, it all sounds promising:   Superman   skips the tired origin story and dives straight into Clark Kent’s third year as Earth’s protector. David Corenswet brings a sincere, wide-eyed charm to the role — equal parts Boy Scout and alien outcast — while Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane is, without a doubt, the best we’ve ever seen on screen. Their chemistry crackles, especially in the film’s most grounded scene: a sharp interview that pits Lois’ hard-nosed journalism against Superman’s unwavering optimism. In that moment, you can almost feel the movie it   could   have been — thoughtful, conflicted, real. Unfortunately, tho...

Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol

Anyone who has already watched Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol would have notice that Mission Impossible 4 is a little bit different from the previous three Mission Impossible(s). I am not sure why there are many critics on Tom Cruise acting, but to me, he is ok. I mean, I know a lot of times, they are saying that Mission Impossible is like talking about himself, but I really beg to differ. Mission Impossible is not really about Tom Cruise alone, I mean he is the leader, he do most of the dangerous work, but behind him is a group of capable secret agents who can support him in all the missions. Anyway, back to Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol. The story started with a chase on a roof in one of a building in Budapest and the agent look so cool when he jumped down and look upwards to shoot the chasers.....but however, was later assassinated by a female assassin. Then we have Ethan Hunt break a prison from Russia with the help of IMF agents and proceed to accept a mission to infi...
