THE WALT DISNEY STUDIOS TO HIT INDUSTRY-FIRST $7 BILLION AT GLOBAL BOX OFFICE

Delivery Man Review. Is One Of Vaughn's Best Comedies In Years

Delivery Man Review By: MattInRC The surprisingly warm and funny Delivery Man shows us Vince Vaughn can actually act. Among my favorite performances of Actor Vince Vaughn's is 1996's Swingers - his portrayal of the party animal Trent introduced an entire culture obsessed with swing music and partying, as if the Roaring 20's had been suddenly resurrected. That was a long time ago, and what might have been a dynamic career has seen Vaughn pigeonholed into simple comedies, where his silly loser status overwhelms any dramatic acumen he once had. I'm not saying I want to see him read Shakespeare, but it's too bad he hasn't extended his wings a bit. Thankfully, his newest dramedy Delivery Man actually shows a side of Vaughn we haven't seen in awhile, and that's good news for us. The underachiever David ( Vaughn ) can't seem to get his life together, running deeply in debt and frustrating his family and girlfriend Emma ( Cobie Smulders ). She ...
