Review of Due Date (2010) by Kurt B — 01 Dec 2016
Blatant abuse toward an animal. The little dog is cursed at and spit on in the face by Robert Downey Jr.'s character. Animals are badly abused and neglected. Why is this behavior acceptable in the media? Disgusting. Movies are powerful in their ability to condition the viewer's mind into believing that something is ok. Now there may be people who've seen this who think "Wow, that's something I'm going to do to my dog when he/she gets out of line! Cool!".
And, as an actor, Robert Downey Jr. must own accountability to this for agreeing to spit in the dog's face like that.
On top of everything, and sadly, way too common, is the fact that the dog was doing nothing aggressive. He was simply sitting there, trusting he was safe.
Horrifying!!
Please send complaints to NBC and any other network airing this movie.
Animal abuse must end, and will stand a better chance once the media no longer condones animal violence in any way, shape or form.
