hypertwinkI just recently caught Delivery Man on cable, and I liked it. This made me want to watch the film it was based on -- Starbuck. Which is basically the French-Canadian version of the former. I liked that too.
I think that Patrick Huard was a better lead in Starbuck but Chris Pratt was the better best friend/sidekick in Delivery Man. The featured kids were great although I kinda liked the DM kids a smidge more, because the audience was allowed to get to know them more, it seems. Speaking of kids, only 1 actor from Starbuck got to reprise his role in DM -- Sebastien Rene played Raphael/Ryan, the son suffering from MS and he was exquisitely heartbreaking in both (more so in Starbuck, I think).
