"Due Date" tells the story of a successful soon-to be father who, due to some unlikely incidents, gets thrown out of a plane and has to share a car ride home across the country with a man so bizarre, he barely manages to contain himself. Along the ride, many unforeseen occasions and events delay their plans and make the birth of the child a goal increasingly harder to accomplish.The film comes with two stars and a lot of slapstick gags. Some of them work out quite well and I, too, have to state that I carried a laughter at some points. On the other hand many of the jokes are mediocre, at best and sometimes cross the borders to pure tasteless. The concept is pretty simple, two very different men sharing a ride, and so you can't really say that the movie is a role-model for creativity. Large parts of its charm are really created by the personal aura of the two lead characters that give this rather basic comedy a bit of glamour that carried it onto the big screens.All in all a lot of people will like the humor of this title, a lot of others won't see much special in it. In my eyes it is no loss to miss out on it, even though there are surely worse slapstick movies and at least this one is good distraction.

Placed on a 'no fly' list after an embarrassing incident on a plane, an uptight businessman reluctantly drives across the country with the man responsible for the plane incident to be with his wife as she gives birth in this comedy from 'Hangover' trilogy director Todd Phillips. While much of the humour is lowbrow, the film has several genuinely funny moments throughout with the two leads bouncing well off one another as they go from hating each other to liking each other and back again. Neither Robert Downey Jr. nor Zach Galifianakis is in particularly great form though. While they share remarkable chemistry, both of their characters are rather hard to like with Downey being so pompous and arrogant and Galifianakis being so utterly uncouth. Furthermore, the character that Galifianakis is saddled with here is almost identical to Alan from the 'Hangover' movies, which makes it hard not to yearn to be watching one of those films instead. To the film's credit, it concludes on a magnificent high note with a couple of excellent cameos, and between the coffee drinking and Zach's dog who imitates everything that he does, the film has ample memorable bits and pieces. Whether it really works as a film about Downey learning to be more humble and Zach learning to be more socially acceptable is less certain, but 'Due Date' is an amusing enough ride while it lasts.

Due Date's greatest sin is that you hate the main characters. Peter Highman (Robert Downey Jr) is a a hateful man who spits at dogs, hits children, and steals from helpless people. Ethan Tremblay (Zach Galifianakis) is a complete weirdo, actor wannabe who is neither likable nor charming. By the end of the movie, Peter does not like Ethan much more than when they first met; their 'friendship' seems more of a chore than a bond. In the film's worst sequence, Ethan, the weirdo who can't act, is thrown five feet into the air in the back of a pick up truck as Peter and his pal laugh in the cabin. The joke is that a bad thing is happening to a down-on-his-luck character that you generally feel sorry for. This is not good comedy.

seriously i enjoy comedy films but this one is a pile of nonsense directed by Todd Philips this no talent hack has never made a good film in his life the hangover series are pure example of how lame this filmmaker is i am sorry if anyone finds it offensive i can't just believe it that a lot of people actually like this film.the cast is pure waste may i ask what the hell was Robert Downey Jr doing here this guy is a fantastic actor rich or broke he should have never accepted this script its a spat on his career,Jamie Foxx just appears for a few moments his only funny moment comes during the coffee drinking scene & Zack Galifianakis is a annoying person plus the worst actor ever along with Christoph Waltz yes i said it Waltz is overrated if you look at both of these actors methods they always smile for no reason even in serious situations and force it too much,i have lost hope in Michelle Monaghan she used to be a top class actress of our times it is sad to see this lady wasting her talents.i caught this 2 or 3 times running on the TV i actually though it would be funny if i would see the whole film after renting it but i was wrong the plot & characters just don't go nowhere & comedy don't bother Robert Downey Jr's character responds to a spoiled kid by punching him in the stomach OK lets say the kid deserved it or not but here is next big thing the masturbation scene Ethan does it and his dog follows it,now the only scene i liked in the entire film was the grand canyon scene i though he was going to make a joke on character of tom cruise in Mi2 called Ethan Hunt & how his name is similar to him but thank god he didn't.the story:yeah right like this film even had one anyway it is about Peter a guy who wants to return to his home but because idiot named Ethan on the flight things go wrong he is left with nothing & has only option left to take a road trip ride with Ethan.from the start it's a predictable film you know whats gonna happen even before the opening credits hit the screen this is a train wreck of a film i tolerated it only because of Robert Downy Jr i don't know what was he thinking desperately trying to prove himself that he is better at doing comedy too well off course he is no doubt about it the thing i like about in his acting is it involves a lot of hidden sarcastic tones he uses it very well in many situations if you listen to him a lot you will see what i mean his dialog timing is flawless take any of his films serious or fun filled i mean it he can do all types of roles his range is massive it was simply embarrassing to see him here.i don't know how this film is being called or classified into the comedy genre if this is comedy then i have lost my faith in this world,you want great comedy try Pulp Fiction 1994 a timeless classic crime comedy ill be putting my disc back in the DVD to watch it again as this just gave me a bad taste in the eyes.Overall Due Date 2010 is a assault on brain film if you are a patient or something please do not watch this film at any cost it is worst then having a brain hemorrhage at least you will recover from that but after watching this crap no chance in hell this is a one way ticket to coma"Nuff Said" my rating is 2/10:Skipp It
