My first movie of the month of February is from Todd Phillip's Due Date which features the new comedy duo, the star of Hangover Zach Galifianakis and Mr. Tony Stark himself Robert Downey Jr. They were really both funny, I got myself laughing the whole time.
A father-to-be Peter (Downey Jr.) bumped into an aspiring actor, Ethan (Galifianakis) who wanted to make in it Hollywood. Both were heading to LA. While on the airport their stuff was switched and was confiscated because of some weeds and was enough for the two to be on the No-Fly list. The two had to take the road together unfortunately and that's where all the fun and catastrophes begun. Supported by the power casts which include Michelle Monaghan (Eagle Eye, Maid of Honor), Jamie Foxx (The Kingdom, Law Abiding Citizen), Danny McBride (Up In The Air, Land of The Lost) and Juliet Lewis (Conviction, The Switch) and Todd Phillip was in the film too (with Juliet Lewis and Zach Galifinakis scene).
The movie didn't much live up to Todd Philip's previous film, The Hangover, but the film was not a disappointment either when it comes to box office gross. The critics got mixed reviews too and Rottentomatoes was a bit unhappy with it, gathering only 42% (as opposed to be at least 60% to be considered to be as a good film) but for me I enjoyed it just like I enjoyed "The Hangover" because the lead actors didn't fail me at all. 'Till next movie experience, good eve everyone!
Little Trivia: This film is the third movie of Director Todd Philip with Juliet Lewis in it, the first one was 'Starsky and Hutch' followed by 'Old School'. They're working on the fourth one now which is "The Hangover 2" with Zach Galifianakis who had two movies together (Hangover and Due Date)
My Rating (3.5 stars out 5)
World Wide Box Office Gross: $209.7 million
Production Budget: $65
