Phillips goes too far sometimes (border-jail breakout?), but his new direction is promising. Read full review

So infuriating is Ethan that Due Date very nearly loses us, too, at the outset, but over time, the bearded boor manages to win everyone over, audience included. Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

Dec 15, 2010

And so by the time the pair admire the Grand Canyon and, Due Date has lost its way, relying on its leading men to lead by charisma alone, even though their characters have nowhere interesting to go besides the happily-ever-after of dull, responsible male maturity. Read full review

A rather pat, occasionally desperate road comedy. Read full review

Manic with an itch. Read full review

Like the direction, the script veers all over the place before reaching its inevitable, unsurprising destination. Read full review

The comedy never really takes off because it's phony. Read full review

You do not give a movie this amazing anything below 90/100 or 9/10, so **** you u dicks! it has an original story line along with amazing acting and a well written script.

The Downey Jr/Galifianakis duo is really good in this surprisingly funny movie.The story is simple and there is no original jokes in it but the movie is entertaining and the 30 last minutes are absolutely hilarious.

I liked the film and it did have quite a few funny moments. However its really the same old same old that we expect from Todd Phillips so dont expect to be blown away by it. Robert Downey Jr and Zach Galifanakis work great together and definently make the movie that much better.

I guess you only get one chance to make a movie so hilariously funny at The Hangover. If you're expecting a comedy equal from the same director, alas no. As most have noted it's a sort of remake of the classic Trains, Planes and Automobiles, without the heart of John Candy.

As most have noted it's a sort of remake of the classic Trains, Planes and Automobiles, without the heart of John Candy. Sure there are laughs but I didn't find the characters believable. Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis sound like a dream team. I loved him in the recent Its Kind of a Funny Story, here he's kind of annoying. And Downey is just too way too uptight. Oh well. Maybe next time.… Expand

Some very funny stuff, but that is all I can say for it. I can only hope that Philips will do something on or above the level of "The Hangover" in the future. Without Zach this movie would be nothing.

This Movie Was Not That Good. Wasn't Funny, Horrible Story Line, Robert Downey Jr..... Spits On A Dog, And Seriously Who The Heck Created This Piece Of Trash.
