Due Date (2010)


"Due Date" is one of those bawdy comedies that has a lot of laughs and several crude moments.  Robert Downey, Jr. stars as an uptight businessman, Peter, who has a series of mishaps due to a strange character played by Zach Galifianakis.  These mishaps place both of them on the no-fly list, but Peter has to get home to his pregnant wife who will give birth in a few days.  These two opposites end up having to drive across the country together, and along the way they encounter an old friend, played by Jamie Foxx, and a drug dealer, played by Juliette Lewis.  I laughed out loud several times while watching this film.  If you like crude humor and outrageous mishaps, then this film is for you.  I give it 4 out of 5 stars, not because it deserves an Oscar or has the best story, but because the characters made me laugh many times.  It was a very enjoyable comedy.
