This was so boring. So obvious and so basic. B.o.r.i.n.g. The Characters were dull and the movie was so monotonous. I would not recommend this movie. No Thrills here.

Bad , bad, bad. It if wasn't for Robert Downey, Jr, I would have stopped watching the movie. It tries to be Planes, Trains and Automobiles. But unlike John Candy, Zack's character had no redeeming qualities. He was not lovable at all. The twoBad , bad, bad. It if wasn't for Robert Downey, Jr, I would have stopped watching the movie. It tries to be Planes, Trains and Automobiles. But unlike John Candy, Zack's character had no redeeming qualities. He was not lovable at all. The two main characters had no chemistry. Why is chemistry so hard for directors to see? Clearly I'm not the target audience, but even so just not very well done. Mostly gross gags and alot of meanness. It's the first time in a long time I've watched a movie where I could tell they were acting. Even good actors can have bad material. Maybe they just got lost in the editing process. Just a bad movie.… Expand

Due Date is a film that you don't want to see twice because you will hate the movie even more. I guess the movie was suppose to have humor. Funny (but mostly sad) is that I don't remember a single memorable funny line.

Rarely funny and very uneven. Despite the likability of Downey and Zach, they couldn't rise above the unfunny material. There were too many jarring tonal shifts that felt extremely clumsy.

I couldn't believe that such great actors chose to play in this movie. Total waste of time. The movie is really dumb - not in a good way.

The plot felt pretty tedious and predictable and the comedy was rather awkward and not particularly funny overall. This movie is basically a case of a somewhat antisocial businessman having alot of bad luck, being paired (not through choice) with a more happy go lucky guy whom of course clash, so its like a regular buddy movie with both people having very different personalities and outlooks and having to learn about each others backgrounds while their on their long road trip. To be honest, I didn't feel particularly keen on either of the main characters, so it didn't work too well as a movie for me personally. Ethan comes across as too much of a nuisance live wire and Peter is too uptight and snappy for my liking. Some of the scenes are a bit crude and I didn't think the script was particularly good, it felt like a movie thought up by a bored teen for bored teens and right enough, I suppose it contains the odd laugh and is probably likeable enough for those who want something slightly diverting to watch for an hour and a half, although to me its really not a memorable movie and both of the main cast members have been in better made movies I reckon, Robert Downey Jnr in particular. Zach Galifianakis is probably most well known for playing one of the characters in the successful 'Hangover' movies and this movie features similar crude content but didn't seem as slick.

On the plus side, I thought the two main actors were well cast, as Downey Jnr. can easily play the impatient, neurotic type well and Galifianakis does well in portraying the more laidback eccentric loner type. Other cast members include Jamie Foxx as one of Peters friends, coming across as a very self assured guy, as he would and also Juliette Lewis who plays

Content wise, there's moderate violence, strong language, sexual references and drug references, including scenes where their stoned. There are some action scenes involving car accidents which are quite exciting to watch but they are a bit few and far between.

I think some might find it relatively funny and there are a few fairly amusing scenes, so I suppose overall its ok but I didn't think it particularly stood out or was otherwise memorable and I certainly wouldn't want to watch it again. I thought it was quite formulaic and found myself cringing at points when I could tell what was coming, though for younger viewers they might get more out of it, I suppose. I thought the ending was a bit confused, a change of tone and not great either, I'd say.

Funnily enough, overall no, I wouldn't. I didn't feel this was a particularly memorable movie, the plot wasn't great and the comedy wasn't the best either, there are better similar movies that you could watch and probably get more from, so I wouldn't recommend this particular title.… Expand

The film has no acceptable logic and the fact that these two people unintentionally start a journey for two and experience life and friendship in this journey is just that and this issue is almost repeated. However, there are comical situations in the film that depend on the geographical culture. The movie was boring for me.… Expand
