- 90VarietyPeter DebrugeVarietyPeter DebrugeThe circumstances may be contrived, but the characters feel refreshingly genuine.
- 63McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreMcClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreSo it’s no “Starbuck,” which most people won’t mind because Americans don’t read subtitles. But even in this form, Delivery Man and the guy who plays him still deliver where it counts.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenThe Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenProves lightly entertaining in spite of its more heartfelt tendencies.
- 50Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyEntertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyThe only saving grace is Chris Pratt as Vaughn's deadpan best friend.
- 42The A.V. ClubA.A. DowdThe A.V. ClubA.A. DowdDelivery Man may be a change of pace for Vaughn, but it’s the exact opposite for its creator, the Québécois filmmaker Ken Scott. Belonging to the Funny Games school of carbon-copy remakes, the film is an identical Hollywood retread of Scott’s 2011 festival favorite Starbuck. Every scene, every joke, nearly every shot of the movie is straight out of the original.
- 40Time OutTime OutIf 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.
- 30Village VoiceAmy NicholsonVillage VoiceAmy NicholsonLet's not blame Vince Vaughn for this stale cupcake. He's halfway through his Alec Baldwin-like transition from underbaked hunk to charismatic character actor.
- 30Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenAustin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenThe film lacks any undercurrent of believability.
- 25Slant MagazineChris CabinSlant MagazineChris CabinThe breadth of Vince Vaughn's gregarious persona has never been given free reign by any director and this certainly isn't the game-changer.
- 25The PlaylistCharlie SchmidlinThe PlaylistCharlie SchmidlinThere are themes of familial connection and responsibility drenched across every frame of it, but aside from a few performances and amusing asides, “Delivery Man” is a bland translation of a sweet, but already flawed original.
