Due Date

Saw this a few days ago so thought I'd do a short review


So a few days ago I see the cinema at my town is showing Due Date. I thought this would be something like Hangover, but I guess I had my hopes high.


Plot:
"Peter Highman (Robert Downey Jr.) must get to LA in five days to be at the birth of his firstborn. He is about to fly home from Atlanta when his luggage and wallet are sent to LA without him, and he is put on the "no-fly" list. Desperate to get home Peter is forced to accept the offer of Ethan Tremblay (Zach Galifianakis) to hitch a ride with him cross-country. Peter is about to go on the most terrifying and agonizing journey of his life."


Anyway, the movie has it's funny moment's, however has some that are really weird. A scene where Robert Downey punches a kid is kinda brutal. Zach plays his role in much a homo-erotic way and throughout the whole film you can see that Robert D. is not really comfortable with that. One of the problems is that some of the stuff that is supposed to be funny really ain't. All in all I don't really have much to say about this comedy. The script and everything has it flaws. However, you can't call it a huge fail, it has it's moments.

Overall 6/10, if you have spare time, take a look!

here's the trailer!



P.S. Yeah, I know, the movie came out in november 2010. However, my cinema (and my whole country) get's certain stuff late, so as this movie. Oh well, I can only hope for better time :)

    Seems a little over the top. Hollywood with their senseless comedy. I think its time for a new American Pie.

    ma, ne zali se, Duislave, vi u Bandza Luci garant bar imate neki cineplex, a mi u Subotici samo neki ofucani prastari bioskop kroz koji duva promaja :( i koji ima dva gosta po projekciji otprilike.

    Dalibor inace, nego, imam da, palas se zove, 4 sale, a imali smo multiplex pa su zatvroli zbog renoviranja prije 2 godine, a palas je inace 3D.
    Obicno ne kasne neki veci filmovi, ali ovi ovako znaju i po 4/5 mjeseci da kasne.

    Predpostavljam nema 3D? Cuo sam da neki od tamo idu u madjarsku negdje blizu u neko 3D kino, imam par poznanika tamo sto to rade povremeno (jedino im smeta kada film ima sinhronizaciju)

    I think I'll give it a miss, I really disliked Hangover.

    I'm all for each to their own, and thought I would love it, but I just find it so unfunny and am yet to be able to actually sit through the entire thing! Piece of crap in my balanced view :P

    I've heard nothing but bad things. I don't htink a movie that coasts off of zach galifiankis' crazieness can succeed twice.

    Yeah, I'm glad I avoided that one. It didn't seem like either of them could live up to something like The Hangover. The chemistry was weird too. Sometimes, you can have a straight guy and slacker like in 40-year-old virgin with Steve and Seth, but sometimes it just doesn't work like this movie. Thanks for the honest review.

    The film is quite funny if we can stand the annoying and trouble making Ethan Tremblay :)

    Apart from your generous score you nailed this review, poor movie, the only time I laughed was when they drove in the roadside ditch and Ethan's character bouncing around in the back of the truck.

    ne volis kad te zovem Duislav? :))
    Mi imamo multiplekse u BG, u NS i u vecini gradove dole u Srbiji, ali tu u Subotici, nista. Prilicno uzasno, imajuci na umu da je Subotica drugi po velicini grad u Vojvodini i peti u Srbiji. Ne znam za Hungariju :) Ja nikada ne bih mogao da gledam film kod njih, jer pod jedan, kao sto si rekao, glasovno sinhronizuju filmove (sto znaci da recimo Arnold Svarceneger otvara usta a napolje izlazi glas nekog Janosha, Istvana ili Zoltana hi hi) a pod dva madjarski jezik mi je uzasno grozan u lingvistickom smislu ... pa mi je onda lakse da jednostavno skidam sa neta filmova, mada nije to to, priznajem :(
    Zato kada god idem kod svog izdavaca u BG ili NS, obavezno svrnem i u bioskop. Trenutno je najveci hit inace MONTEVIDEO, BOG TE VIDEO, domaci film koji ima vec skoro pola miliona gledalaca sto je apsolutni rekord (AVATAR je imao jedva 200.000)

    The trailer made it look much better then it was... just like dinner for schmucks. That movie was a waste.

    Saw the ad for this the other day and the dog with the thing on it was enough to turn me off. Besides Steve Martin and John Goodman already made a similar movie that was very good. I don't need to see another version with a dog with a thing around its neck
