Review of Due Date (2010) by Certifiedtaco — 17 Jun 2011
First off I would like to state that both movies, Due Date and Hangover should not be compared with each other. Having said that I believe that the producers and director of Due Date tried to re-create some of the Hangover magic by putting what they believed to be the best part of the Hangover movie into Due Date.
All this does is make you realize that the film Hangover was great because of all 4 of the leading cast not just one man! This however is not a review on Hangover but a one on Due Date. The cast of Due Date should be a winning combination Jack Galifikanias and Robert Downey Jr.
often make some pretty funny moments but at some parts I felt that they were trying a bit to hard to be funny. The appearance of other famous faces including Jamie Foxx and Charlie Sheen adds another certain comedy based feel to the film.
The music however in this film makes up for it's slightly average acting. Not giving any spoilers here but when they are in the Grand Canyon there is an amazing base tone in the background. Pure perfection for the scene! The Plot follows Ethan (Jack) and Peter (Robert) on there insane cross country race to LA.
Peter is to become a father, desperate to witness the birth of his first born and Ethan a Hollywood actor wanna-be late for an interview. Both will do anything necessary to get there on time resulting in some pretty insane yet hilarious situations.
