Due Date
"Due Date" is the hilarious tale of a father-to-be (Robert Downey Jr.) who becomes stranded across the country from his expectant wife. He is forced to hitch a ride with an aspiring, albeit, somewhat mentally retarded actor-to-be (Zach Galifianakis), on his way to Hollywood.
If you liked "Hangover," then you'll probably like this too. Most people I've talked to said that it's either as good or almost as good. I personally fall into the latter category but still highly recommend it. While it isn't a nonstop laugh-fest throughout its entirety, there are several parts that were the fucking bees knees. Galifianakis' role is the perfect foil for Robert Downey Jr.'s. I'm not even really sure who was funnier.
If I had to complain about one thing, it would have to be that there was a part or two that were just too unlikely to believe. I'm really just nitpicking here, but I was kind of thinking, "Really? That's happening right now and know one else seems to think anything is wrong with this?" Again though, it didn't even detract from the movie, I just thought I should note one bad thing about it.
