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.

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.

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.

Due Date (2010): Dir: Todd Phillips / Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Zach Galifianakis, Jamie Foxx, Michelle Monaghan, Juliette Lewis: Another exhausted road movie comedy full of stupid clichés. This one not only regards the soon-to-be birth of Robert Downey Jr.'s kid, but it also regards his sudden situation where he is forced to be civil to someone who is a complete moron. Downey Jr. is forced into a road trip with Zach Galifianakis, an aspiring actor who wishes to dump his father's ashes in the Grand Canyon. As predicted, they get into various mishaps that are unbelievable while becoming best pals. This sounds vaguely familiar. Maybe it is because Planes,Trains and Automobiles handled this storyline much more effectively. Downey Jr is a capable actor just coming off two blockbusters so this is no advance for him. Galifianakis was likable in The Hangover but here he is downright pathetic. Michelle Monaghan as Downey Jr.'s wife is wasted in phone contacts. It is a given that she will go into labor and Galifianakis will do something that will gain Downey Jr's good graces. Jamie Foxx is the one interesting character who is suspected of foul play with Monaghan, and who actually assists them with transportation that one point. Juliette Lewis is apparently playing the same character she played in another Todd Phillips comedy, Old School, where she was much more fun to watch. Directed by Todd Phillips as a lazy followup to his masterpiece The Hangover. Expect none of that clever comic expertize here although watching the film itself has got to be in equal manner with a hangover. Score: 2 ½ / 10
