For me comedy represents one of the most important facets of filmmaking, because it allows us to relax through simple and pure entertainment, however many times good comedies are seasoned with dramas that really highlight the whole story and that more than making it opaque transform it into something even better and that precisely happened with Delivery Man, a film that could take the easy way and become a simple and silly comedy but that instead was carried higher thanks to the good handling of a very interesting drama in the background.

The interesting plot of this film begins to develop when a regular man with hundreds of debts and economic problems finds out that he is the father of hundreds of people after having been a very generous "donor" of semen in his youth. As you can deduce, this is not a serious man, on the contrary, the story lets us see an irresponsible man who was not prepared for such colossal news, a man who decides to straighten his life little by little and begin to know anonymously each of the children he procreated. It is really entertaining to see how throughout the story we will see how David will approach each of his more than 500 children to gradually meet them and finally create some kind of emotional bond with them, emotional ties that neither he nor his children asked for and of course none expected.

This is not the story of a group of children who claim the paternity of their father, but rather the story of a group of children who having the same father only want to know who he is, nothing more, a group of children who without expecting anything get everything, get their father to leave the anonymity, recognize them and above all love them.

In this film the plot goes at a somewhat slow pace, after all it develops as a group of separate encounters where we will see David spend time one by one with his children, while in the background we also have a legal conflict that intensifies the story and eventually becomes the main trigger for the end of the story.

Personal Review.

Laughter is not something so simple to achieve, but this film achieves it in a fantastic and spontaneous way, it regularly provokes laughter with intelligent, entertaining and entertaining moments where not only silly jokes are the protagonists, here the protagonist is the story of a man who recomposed himself and changed his life, a man who chose the most difficult path and who got a great family. I really liked the way the creators of this film chose to develop the story because thanks to that we could witness truly magical moments that connected us immediately with a man in the difficult task of really knowing his children without telling them that he was their father, a man who even without knowing his children supported them from anonymity with small things that meant a lot to them.

Without forgetting that this film despite being basically a comedy has -SPOILER- one of the most emotional moments I have seen lately when we see David with one of his children, a paraplegic young man with whom only spent time sitting next to him talking but thanks to that moment managed to show a lot of emotion and above all empathy.

I love without a doubt the whole creative choice of the film, because it feels like a comic film but with a family atmosphere, a film that has no major changes in the plot but nevertheless keeps us hooked by the good work that the characters do, obviously it is impossible to capture 500 interactions between a father and a son, but nevertheless this film takes the time to give us extracts of the best moments, something that makes it light and highly intelligent. Yes, here do not expect to see scientific explanations about the insemination of 533 children, in this film expect to see laughter, emotion and above all a sense of unity that is created around the characters and never breaks.
