On Nov. 22, Disney will release the new Vince Vaughn film "Delivery Man."
Directed by Ken Scott, "Delivery Man" tells the story of an underachiever who finds out he's fathered 533 children through anonymous donations to a fertility clinic 20 years ago. As a result, he must decide whether or not to come forward when 142 of them file a lawsuit to reveal his identity.
The new film is Vaughn's third of the year. He was previously seen in a cameo performance in "A Case of You" and also reteamed up with Owen Wilson for "The Internship." "Delivery Man" recently premiered and has thus far scored mixed reviews.
Peter Debruge from Variety gave the movie a good review and wrote, "'Delivery Man' is virtually nothing like a Vince Vaughn movie, but rather a heartfelt celebration of the act of parenthood presented under radically exaggerated circumstances."
John Hazelton from Screen International also gave the movie a positive review: "Scott lets the remake follow the original almost scene-for-scene and line-for-line but gives the U.S. version a lighter feel and a brighter look."
Meanwhile, Time Out New York's Sam Adams gave the movie two stars out of five and wrote, "If this remake of 2011's French-Canadian hit 'Starbuck' feels as if it's just going through the motions, Vaughn himself radiates sincerity and good intention. The actor doesn't get it right this time, but he's earned himself another chance."
Alonso Duralde from the Wrap also disliked the film and said, "Offers comedy and sentimentality in equal doses and, unfortunately, equal efficacy -- the jokes, the characters and the situations aren't very funny, and the would-be heart-tuggery is mostly embarrassing."
The movie is slated to be released in 2,800 theaters and is rated PG-13 for thematic elements, sexual content, some drug material, brief violence and language.
