10 Awful Movies How I Met Your Mother Actors Want Us To Forget

If you’d like to see a film based on the notion of Vince Vaughn masturbating a great deal, you’re in luck. Delivery Man is the story of David, a prolific sperm donor whose hundreds of in vitro offspring file a class action to reveal the identity of their father, which doesn’t bode well for his relationship with Emma.

Emma is played by Cobie Smulders, in an utterly thankless role. Throughout nine seasons of playing Robin, she proved herself to be a truly versatile comedic actress, delivering on laughs and emotional beats in equal measure.

Here, as is sadly the case with many comedies of this era, she is perpetually sidelined so that Chris Pratt can yuck it up as David’s boorish lawyer best pal and Vaughn can effectively sleepwalk through the film as a lazy but ultimately goodhearted schlub out of his depth.

The film’s not terrible by any means, it’s just bizarre and unloveable (and a near-shot by shot remake of a Canadian film by the same director - a strange use of time for all involved). Smulders seems to eschew straightforward comedy for the most part these days, and this may be part of the reason why.
