Due Date

"A "Planes, Trains and Automobiles"-style cross-country odd-couple comedy that's less raunchy than their (Phillips/Galifianakis) last collaboration but every bit as outrageous."

"An uptight thin bloke and a messy fat bloke travel across America, encountering an array of disasters on their way back to see thin bloke’s wife."

"Mr. Downey either can't, or doesn't, do much with Peter, who, as written by Mr. Phillips and three others, remains an off-putting, hollow man - a presumably unintentional lack of character development that represents the movie's sole honest moment."

"This new comedy from the Hangover director, with Robert Downey Jr and Zach Galifianakis on a road trip together, is a decidedly mixed bag, says Peter Bradshaw"

"Due Date is nearly a down-market retread of the great comedy "Planes, Trains and Automobiles."

"Due Date is watchable and will probably make a serious dent at the box office, but unlike The Hangover it isn’t re-watchable. We’ve seen both stars here before and we’ll definitely see Galifianakis here again. A smattering of funny moments and a lack of anything truly detestable make it a comedy about a journey probably best to be enjoyed while on a journey yourself."

"Due Date doesn't begin to rival "Hangover" for inventiveness or hilarity. But the sharp comic instincts and contrasting styles of the stars, who never are offscreen, keep the film alive despite the setup's aggravations and familiarity."

"Another Hangover was too much to hope for, especially as this was scripted by committee. It's a bit funny but also quite a bit nasty."
