“Delivery Man” is unlike most Vince Vaughn movies. Vaughn is known for playing the raunchy, underachieving, unlikable lead; his film credits include “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story,” “Wedding Crashers” and “The Break-Up.” In “Delivery Man,” Vaughn still acts as the character who doesn’t live up to his potential; he works as a meat truck delivery […]
