Special Delivery (2000)

Boring, long, and too preachy.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

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.

I agree whole-heartedly with the first comment about this movie. It has more quality than a lot of movies out there today. Special Delivery has become my top favorite Christmas film. I was fortunate to record a poor copy off of TV back in 2000 but I truly wish that it would be rerun or released on DVD and have sought to buy it but it seems unavailable. This movie makes you laugh, cry, think and it warms your heart with great messages! I never knew Andy Dick really was adopted until today when I came on here and read this profile. He was probably the best choice for this film due to his comic ability and insight into the role. If anyone knows how to go about getting a movie released on DVD I would appreciate hearing about it.

My family and I really enjoyed this movie. It is clean, funny and also adds to the Christmas spirit. This is the type of wholesome, family entertainment that is sorely lacking nowadays. I am sure that this movie would be a hit with the "G" and "PG" crowd. We want so much to have a copy of this. We plan on making it a tradition in our home once we obtain a copy. We also wish to send our kids (and grandkids) copies as well. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who misses a simple plot that evolves into a heart-tugging experience. I am surprised it hasn't been marketed because there are so many movies available in the on-line/commercial market these days and a large share of what's available is trash compared to this movie.

I taped this film on a whim--an ABC Family original movie, which I usually don't like--because I had already finished watching my other Christmas favorites five times apiece. I was not only happily surprised by how funny this film and its star were, but by how well-done it was, especially for a Christmas flick. I won't rehash Andy Dick--he was adorably perfect for the part of the hockey-crazy Lloyd Steadman--but I have to say that I wish this movie had caught on when it aired. Hopefully ABC Family will air it again sometime in their 25 Days of Christmas."I am the fourth wise man, coming from far away Los Angle-ees, bearing gifts of sausage, and other processed meats!" Very funny. If you're a Christmas fan in the vein of "A Christmas Story", make the effort to find this movie. Kudos, Andy!
