DUE DATE *

Todd Phillips directed this Comedy. Watch Preview. Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Zach Galifianakis, Michelle Monaghan, Jamie Foxx, Juliet Lewis, Danny McBride, RZA. Rated R for language, drug use and sexual content. Running time is one hour and forty minutes.

An expectant first-time father (Downey Jr.) is forced to hitch a cross-country ride with an aspiring actor (Galifinakis) when he's put on the no fly list due to a misunderstanding.

I think Downey Jr. is a great actor but his character in this film is not one you're likely to like. I suspect Galifianakis is an acquired taste, but one I've yet to acquire. Throw in a plot that didn't ring true to me, or even make much sense, and you've got a film I don't think anyone over 35 is going to get excited by. Younger audiences may go for the stupidity that passes for humor in this film but I'm not sure that's even true, although a man and his dog masturbating simultaneously while someone else watches may be more appealing to them than I found it to be. This is just a waste of time as far as I'm concerned.
