MOVIE REVIEW: DELIVERY MAN

“DELIVERY MAN” PRESS REVIEW

A dubious title, but it’s all about funny man VINCE VAUGHN, so you can be assured that it can be a genuine trade-in for guffaws. VINCE is known as the gag man. Right?

Here’s the delicious scoop:

In present tense, David Wozniak (Vince Vaughn) is always friendly, but luckless in most things he does.

He has been working for his family’s meat business for as long as he can remember, and has a pregnant girlfriend (Cobie Smulders) who refuses to believe that he can be a good daddy.

In past tense, two decades ago, he regularly donated his sperm in exchange for cash to help out childless couples.  Naturally, he lost count.

But the past comes back to haunt him now, especially when he discovers he has fathered 533 children through his sperm donations two decades ago.

 142 of them are filing a lawsuit forcing him to reveal his identity.

He enlisted his lawyer buddy (Chris Pratt) to be his legal consultant. He also starts secretly to get involved in the lives of a few of his offspring.

An act of redemption? Or so he thinks.

So this deliveryman who’s sown his seeds all over the country sets off to check how his kids are faring —without letting any of them know he’s the biological father.

The plot may seem cliched, melodramatic more than comedic.

But relax, it is a refreshing take about basic human needs.

Vaughn shines in his role, and there’s an engaging chemistry between him and Pratt.

“Delivery Man” is a funny film with oodles of charm to dispel gloom and bring that smile to your face.

Go watch it.

“THE INTERNSHIP” Movie Review. Sit Up, Chum, There’s a Whole Lot More Going.

“THE INTERNSHIP” PRESS PREVIEW

Don’t expect this movie to kick off with a big wham bang.

It does not, but it survives its welcome, nonetheless.

 ”THE INTERNSHIP” is an entertaining, goofy piece of gem that might well warm your heart amid uplifting your spirit after a hard day’s grind.

There’s a lot more going if you are prepared to dig deeper.

So go for it.

OWEN WILSON and VINCE VAUGHN happily make a come-back with this bromance comedy, after almost a decade since their last sex ribbing farce “Wedding Crashers.”

Directed by Shawn Levy and co-written by Vince Vaughn and Jared Stern, “THE INTERNSHIP” features Vaughn and Owen Wilson as Billy and Nick, two irritating fast talking watch salesmen who are laid off when their company closes.

Whilst googling  for job possibilities, Billy discovers the Google has plans for a summer internship program.

And after passing the required-webcam interview, the duo find themselves at Google HQ in Palo Alto, competing against dozens of teenage tech-savvy geniuses.

The middle aged pair found themselves caught in a pandemonic team headed by nerdy leader Lyle (Josh Bremer) alongside brainy outsiders Stuart (Dylan O’Brien), Neha (Tiya Sircar) and Yo-Yo (Tobit Raphael).

In every good there’s always the bad, therefore we have a scheming trouble seeking intern Graham (Max Minghella) who is determined to take them down.

As time wears on, the unlikely friendships are tried and forged.

The plot may be cliched and formulaic, but it does have a heart and some soul in the right place.

Sweet, hilarious and heart-warming are superlatives to describe this movie.

And thank goodness that it is an enjoyable movie, unlike the regular slapstick that makes no sense.

Go check this one out.
