Reviews
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Brendan Harris Don't understand the bad reviews, hilarious movie. Felt a bit too similar to hangover but it delivered for sure.
Python Hyena Due Date (2010): Dir: Todd Phillips / Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Zach Galifianakis, Jamie Foxx, Michelle Monaghan, Juliette Lewis: Another exhausted road movie comedy full of stupid clichés. This one not only regards the soon-to-be birth of Robert Downey Jr.'s kid, but it also regards his sudden situation where he is forced to be civil to someone who is a complete moron. Downey Jr. is forced into a road trip with Zach Galifianakis, an aspiring actor who wishes to dump his father's ashes in the Grand Canyon. As predicted, they get into various mishaps that are unbelievable while becoming best pals. This sounds vaguely familiar. Maybe it is because Planes,Trains and Automobiles handled this storyline much more effectively. Downey Jr is a capable actor just coming off two blockbusters so this is no advance for him. Galifianakis was likable in The Hangover but here he is downright pathetic. Michelle Monaghan as Downey Jr.'s wife is wasted in phone contacts. It is a given that she will go into labor and Galifianakis will do something that will gain Downey Jr's good graces. Jamie Foxx is the one interesting character who is suspected of foul play with Monaghan, and who actually assists them with transportation that one point. Juliette Lewis is apparently playing the same character she played in another Todd Phillips comedy, Old School, where she was much more fun to watch. Directed by Todd Phillips as a lazy followup to his masterpiece The Hangover. Expect none of that clever comic expertize here although watching the film itself has got to be in equal manner with a hangover. Score: 2 ½ / 10
Pooshon Banerjee A very enjoyable movie from the beginning till the very end.Even though Downey has made a name from inside the metal suit, he still has to offer a lot of variety. You may have seen different colors while watching The Soloist, The Judge, or Zodiac, Due Date is yet another spectrum.No matter how many times you watch this movie, you won't get bored. Extreme chemistry between the two leads. Downey and Zach are like two poles, extreme opposite and yet they bring you along on this hilarious ride with them.You would still laugh when you hear "Dad, you were like a father to me." Or when you hear "Julia Roberts, I know we are engaged, I have terminal cancer."Zach is outstanding. Watch it, you won't regret.
SnoopyStyle Peter Highman (Robert Downey, Jr.) is flying home from Atlanta to his pregnant wife Sarah (Michelle Monaghan) in L.A. He runs into Ethan Tremblay (Zach Galifianakis) who constantly messes up his travel plans. They are both kicked off the plane when Ethan keeps saying "terrorist" and "bomb". They are now on the No Fly List. Peter's luggage and wallet remains on the plane to L.A. He reluctantly takes a ride from Ethan.This is obviously inspired by 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles'. Galifianakis is John Candy's character with more incompetence and more inappropriateness. Downey is Steve Martin's character with more anger. Director Todd Phillips is throwing everything into this. Sometimes it's insanely hilarious. They are not the same charming Candy Martin duo but they still make a fine odd couple. It is at its hiliarious best when Ethan angers Peter and the laughs are big.
