Connor Macgregor Reviews...Due Date
Going in to see this with my college class so i didn't have to pay. I wasn't planning on seeing this , but i was given the chance and so here's my review.
Peter Highman (Robert Downey Jr.) must get to LA in five days to be at the birth of his firstborn. He is about to fly home from Atlanta when his luggage and wallet are stolen, and he is put on the "no-fly" list. Desperate to get home Peter is forced to accept the offer of Ethan Tremblay (Zach Galifianakis) to hitch a ride with him cross-country. Peter is about to go on a terrifying and agonizing journey of his life.
Firstly , this is a funny film. And secondly i like road movies so this was a bonus. Robert Downey Jr doesn't usually do comedy , so seeing him here was quite new for me. He is good , He is how Downey Jr usually is. Short Tempered and Very Straight Forward Guy. Then he meets Zack Galifianakis (Christ that's a long name) who is just as always great. I wouldn't say he is hilarious but he does bring a sense of warmth on the screen.
The Downside to this film as its not as funny as The Hangover. But that doesn't mean its bad , its just that it doesn't have the charm not that unpredictability humour that The Hangover had and worked with. I also didn't warm to Jamie Foxx in the film. He just didn't fit in too well with what was going on.
Overall , A Solid Comedy that deserves to be seen. Check it out while its still in cinemas.
