Due Date (2010)

Touches You

Thanks for the memories!

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This movie is special because every time i watch i laugh again. I also catch alotof things i missed before, Great actors and great story. Each scene is like a classic. Nothing is exaggerated. Everything is very natural and great movie and i love to watch again, not only for comedy, very nice travel movie in general with scenes musics and all.

Wanted something fresh? A new take on the tired road trip formula? An utterly memorable experience? Then stop reading, go out in the car and make your own road trip memories. This is as standard as it gets. Two opposing personalities in the same vehicle driving across America, where situations occur for comedic purposes. A rivalry rages from the start until they grow to like each other. I've seen it before, you've seen it before, we've all seen it before...unfortunately executed more efficiently. When you bring in talented actors like Robert Downey Jr and Zach Galifianakis who are able to deliver smart comedic roles, and then utilise them for stupid grotesque crude humour...you can't help but feel bored. Wasted potential. The characters never grow during this raucous trip to Los Angeles. They are simply a means for physical comedy, and it just comes across as lazy. Sure there are a few scenes that garner a snigger, one that crops to mind is a gun's trigger accidentally getting pulled. Yet, I shouldn't be this bored. Supporting characters played by Michelle Monaghan and Jamie Foxx were underused. The situations that the characters are positioned into feel forced and coincidental, such as accidentally driving to the Mexican border crossing. I can say that the chemistry between Downey Jr and Galifianakis was, whilst purposely opposing, a fitting match. They worked well together and clearly had some fun. It just seemed like ever since Todd Phillips directed 'The Hangover', he can just use the same jokes and humour in everything, therefore a sense of familiarity which of course is a detriment. Due Date is watchable no doubt about it, but the standard formula is all too familiar and left me wanting more laughs...much more. Plus, the amount of spitting in people and dogs faces was ridiculously excessive. Keep your saliva to yourself, it's not funny and it's not clever. Urgh, and we wonder why people get ill...

I just got this movie the other day. I have never heard of it before. It took me about two minutes into the film to realize that is it just a rip-off of the classic "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" I mean come on.. two guys - one a straight man, the other a goof, get thrown together after being forced off an airplane? I knew before it even happened that they were going to wreck the rental car. He even kept Peter's wallet.!!!! It was sort of a fun film to watch but totally totally predictable. The only difference here was more swearing, the goofy guy was SUPER goofy and the straight guy was even more of a jerk. I'll never watch this one again. If I want to watch a great comedy I'll go back to the original.

Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis, at first I thought that can't be a good match, and it isn't, it isn't because they don't match but that's what makes it so great.I can't explain precisely what it is, but they are great together, really funny in each their own way. I don't hope Galifianakis is as bad socially as his character, but he plays the role so good, he must have had experience or investigated a lot :) And Jr. really is an asshole as only he can portray it, but has some really loving and special sides especially when he is stoned.They will definitely have a very special friendship from now one, both in the sequel and in real life.
