A golden comic premise, directed to dross by Ken Scott, who also made the Canadian original ("Starbuck," from 2011) on which this Vince Vaughn vehicle is based.

Softer and schmaltzier than the original. Vince Vaughn has played this guy before, to better effect.

Calling Delivery Man a "comedy" is a bit of a stretch, because it's rarely funny. Dumb, yes, but not in a way that's worthy of more than a half-hearted chuckle.

Delivery Man can be pegged as yet another in a seemingly endless series of Apatow-era man-child redemption stories ...

"Starbuck" was a funny and warm-hearted trifle. So is "Delivery Man."
