Due Date has plenty going for it. It features one of Hollywood's top leading men, alongside its hottest new comedy star in a vehicle (pun intended) from Todd Phillips, director of The Hangover, the highest grossing R-rated comedy ever. It's the right film, at the right time, and it will almost inevitably make a massive amount of money.
Judging by the quick turnaround of the film, however, there is the sense this may be a mere stopgap film for its participants. The hangover after The Hangover that precedes The Hangover 2, as it were, and something nice and easy for Robert Downey Jr to do before he ends up cracking wise in front of a blue screen, or dressing in period costume, for the next decade in The Avengers/Iron Man/Sherlock Holmes movies.
It turns out that that's exactly what Due Date is: a movie with a few decent laughs to commend it, but otherwise a lesser piece of work from nearly everybody involved.
Peter Highman (Robert Downey Jr) is a highly-strung, neurotic businessman who has to get home from a business meeting in Atlanta in time for the birth of his first child at home in Los Angeles. After a chance meeting with aspiring actor and oddball, Ethan Tremblay (Zach Galifianakis), a series of unfortunate incidents brings the two men together and forces them to travel across the country together.
One of the primary reasons for the success of The Hangover was that it managed to impose an original and interesting structure onto the tired format of the outrageous buddy comedy. By contrast, Due Date is one of the more formulaic and derivative films I've seen for a long while. It's like a comedy Frankenstein's monster, stitched together by scenes from other, better films, like Midnight Run, The Big Lebowski, Dumb And Dumber, The Odd Couple, Phillips's own Hangover and Road Trip, and of course Planes, Trains And Automobiles.
Road movies, in general, are, by their nature, a series of interconnected sketches. Our heroes turn up somewhere, get into some hilarious scrapes, before moving on to the next town.
