Special Delivery

I will admit that I did not make it to the end of this. I got about 70% through. But that's only because my 12-year-old lost interest and did not want to finish it -- which says a lot. If you want to watch a movie that is clean (no profanity, off-color humor) and will satisfy a 4-year-old with a few pratfalls and will give some simplistic messages, then this movie is fine. Otherwise, this should never be shown on TV again. The humor is terrible. Any attempt at comedy must be accompanied by the "comedy" music, otherwise the viewer won't get the joke. Just terrible plot, acting, humor, even for a made-for-TV movie. The lead role is just executed poorly. It's not as easy as it looks to play the part of a bumbling idiot (done well in e.g. Dumb-and-Dumber and the original Pink Panthers). The number of high reviews here makes me question the reviewers' intelligence or bias.

I watched this film a few years ago at Christmas time, with my two children. We thoroughly enjoyed it, it is a super heartwarming and humorous film! Andy Dick plays a fantastic part, as does David Lewis. I only wish my family and I could watch it again, especially as Christmas is almost here. It doesn't seem to have been played again on TV (in the UK), nor can I find it on DVD (I have been looking for the past few years on and off). This is very disappointing! I would be very grateful if information could be given of any further showings of Special Delivery, or if it could be bought on DVD anywhere. I find it amazing that such a wonderful film isn't aired every Christmas on TV.

This is a B-movie,but I must say,it`s one of the best movies I`ve ever seen!It`s really touching,and cute.And the fact that it stars Andy Dick is so cool! I`ve always loved Andy Dick (ever since I was NINE!)And I think his performance in 'Special Delivery' was his BEST EVER,especially because he`s usually in more "mature" comedies,but this is a family movie with a wonderful story...I was very,very impressed!

I have always been one of Andy Dick`s biggest and most loyal fans,but I have to say,this movie is his best work EVER! It`s just so cute and sweet,and not the typical thing you expect to see Andy Dick in! The story is just perfect,and reflects alot on Andy`s life.A story of a clumsy,and somewhat "weird",over-sensitive guy.(And not to mention that Andy and his character that he plays in this movie were both adopted at a very young age.)

I know alot of people dont like Andy Dick,but if you don`t,give him a chance,and watch this movie! I promise you,it will change you mind!

Andy Dick made the most of his trip into low budget made-for-cable land. This was a role that many actors would have embarrassingly sleep-walked through, the kind of role that your average 90's sitcom star on the skids would have done for the paycheck - which I'm sure Dick did. But, instead of giving a half-hearted performance, he really made the most of a hokey script about a delivery man for an adoption service that loses the recipient family's baby. I found myself watching the whole thing despite my better objections. Funny guy. With all the talk of his past addiction problems, I hope he doesn't go the Robert Downey Jr. route. Hopefully he won't be stuck in made-for-cable land for long.
