Simply A Masterpiece

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

I did not know that this was an American remake when I watched it. I have since found out that it is, and apparently it is much better. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, I don't know, I haven't seen it. I really did enjoy this film though. Colbie Smoulders is beautiful and her acting is good. Chris Pine was a scene stealer and Vince Vaugn was a great lead, he is charming and charismatic. The story is great, it is very original (I know it is a remake, you know what I mean) it has some funny moment, some sad moments, and a nice heartwarming ending. It is better than the current imdb score. This is a good film.

the premise is interesting and fairly untapped but there was no real character arc for Vince Vaughn - he goes from a guy who wants to have a baby (despite the protests of his miserable, useless friend) to a guy who has more kids than he could possibly imagine. However, this means that he has not developed at all: he didn't learn that he actually did want kids because he wanted them already, he didn't learn to be more open due to his diverse students because he wasn't prejudiced before anyway, his job seems pretty unrelated to his character and also teaches him nothing. Due to this lack of character arc the plot seems to just meander without the viewer being particularly connected. Stuff kind of just happens with minimal set up and as a result although well paced, you often find yourself asking 'is this film actually going anywhere'. the film asks some interesting questions about rights of parents, particularly sperm donors, but in some ways it raises so many questions that it doesn't answer any of them adequately or satisfyingly. The film doesn't really have a message and if it did that would help to tie together the random seeming plot developments. zero chemistry between Vince Vaughn and Conor Smulders and no real reason why he can't tell his girlfriend about all his kids apart from some bogus law suit that doesn't even really make sense since Vaughn seems happy to meet his children?characters have no real depth - to the point that at one point they refer to Vince Vaughn by his character's name and I thought he might have been using a fake name because I was so underinvested in this character that I didn't even know is name. This lack of connection means that key plot points fall flat because, for instance, I don't really care that Vaughn is in debt because he doesn't seem to have any real personality traits or flaws.as you watch this film you also think 'who is this film for'? It's not really a comedy, I mean I didn't laugh throughout the whole film, but it's also not taking itself seriously enough for a drama. conclusion: this film is confused about what it is and as a result it lacks coherence, doesn't endear the audience to the characters and results in the viewer very quickly forgetting the film/taking absolutely no message away from it.

Watch this movie and assume you are going to hate it, and you will be pleasantly surprisedIt's not an awful movie. David is basically every Vince Vaughn character I've ever seen, so he shouldn't be likable. He isn't really, but by the end I liked the guy.It's not really all that funny, but I laughed. It's very sappy, but in the end- it was fun movie.I had to suspend my reality chip, because I couldn't understand how David would choose to remain anonymous after meeting some of his children. He has nothing, so they can't get anything from himEven after they pass verdict against the sperm bank, he can't come public, or lose the award. Legally I don't understand how that can be, but the movie would miss one of the nicest scenes without that device.Of Vince Vaughn movies with couples, it's 10 times better than Couples Retreat or The Break Up. That's a low bar, but I enjoyed the movie.

I am a true Vince Vaughn fan, so I have wanted to see this for a long time....and it was well worth the wait! I loved how he kinda stalked his kids to just basically spend some time with them, how he kinda parented from a far. He may be sort of a messed up person, but he has a really good heart. This is one of those feel good movies, that will make you laugh and cry...Vince never disappoints me, and I will watch this movie again and again. I loved every second of this movie and would like to see where this story goes....maybe they will do a Delivery Man 2? Idk...but either way...watch this movie, you will like it...especially if you like Vince Vaughn, he is friggin hilarious!!!
