I watched Due Date and laughed my ass off. I have been hearing a lot of people talking trash about this film and I don’t appreciate it. It was funny, damn you. It’s from the same guy (Todd Phillips) who directed The Hangover (which I hated) and Old School (which I loved). So this seems to be the film that is drawing a line in the sand apparently.
The film stars Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man, Sherlock Holmes, Tropic Thunder) as a guy who is trying to get home to see his wife give birth for the very first time. But there’s a problem. It starts with a car door being knocked off and ends with him on a no fly list. The cause of most of the drama in this film is Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover, Dinner For Schmucks). Knowing that they are both heading to Los Angeles Downey decides to ride with this mad man. Now he isn’t mad in a crazy sense, but he is fucking loony. Oh, and he has his little dog and his fathers ashes in a coffee cup.
