Sinopsis(1)
Downey encarna a Peter Highman, un padre primerizo cuya mujer está a punto de dar a luz. Peter se apresura a coger un vuelo desde Atlanta hacia Los Ángeles para poder estar junto a ella el día del parto. Sin embargo, sus intenciones se verán truncadas ya que un encuentro fortuito con el aspirante a actor Ethan Tremblay (Galifianakis) hará que los dos pierdan el avión y se queden en lista de espera, mientras que el equipaje de Peter, su cartera y su carné de identidad vuelan de camino a Atlanta. Sin otra alternativa, Peter se verá obligado a hacer auto stop junto a Ethan y su perro en un viaje que cruzará todo el país y terminará destrozando varios coches, algunas amistades e incluso los nervios de Peter. (Warner Bros. España)

Una inteligente y civil road-movie buddy-comedia que puede ser una locura WTF y al mismo tiempo estar en la tierra y ser humana. El éxito del guión está basado en lo bien que están escritos los personajes para Downey y Galifianakis y la excelente química entre ellos. Galifianakis ya no es solo un personaje callado y ridículo como lo fue en Resacón en Las Vegas.

Sería una comedia chiflada bastante genial si no copiara tan abiertamente Mejor solo que mal acompañado. No solo se copia la premisa y la estructura de la película, sino también algunas escenas y discursos de los personajes. Al parecer, al cabo de un año de la muerte de John Hughes los guionistas dejaron de tener miedo al plagio. Y mientras que John Candy en la película original interpretaba a un zoquete torpe que merece la simpatía del espectador al final, Zach Galifianakis interpreta aquí a un sociópata que pone en peligro su vida y con el que pocos podrían simpatizar. Si se tratara de un remake admitido, se podría hacer la vista gorda, porque en principio es una road-movie divertida, pero hacerla pasar por una película independiente es realmente un truco.

I would have expected that Todd Phillips, after the film of a lifetime for the audience, would repeat the pattern in a more average (digestible) form. Instead, he goes far beyond all reasonable limits, not yielding to incomprehensibly vulgar gags, and the humor of the whole film is reliably hidden in the box of "weird". Several more serious moments actually don't make much sense because they are clear and immediately brushed off, undermining the script in both respects. Shortly after it ends, you realize that if some unknown had been in Robert Downey, Jr.'s role, Due Date would actually have been a total debacle. The second star shines purely thanks to the merits of Iron Man, who manages to maintain his composure and charisma even when fighting a disabled person or facing a masturbating dog. P.S.: When Zach Galifianakis timidly mentored and cautiously played his role in Tru Calling years ago, he was really great. When he became known for his comedic roles, I wished him well. But when he plays the same type for the fourth or fifth time, the scruffy drunk/high fool, I can't stand to look at him anymore. For this, Phillips gets a big minus.

And once again the great comedian Zach Galifianakis returns to us, and once again he's equipped with a lot of great lines and jokes. He just hits me the right way and as road movies go this is the best choice. But I can't forgive myself for comparing it to The Hangover again, which set the bar really high. And although it has one brilliant scene, it's just not up to the level of The Hangover. It gets 4.5 stars.

I’d kill him. I guess I’d kill him. A really pleasant comedy, and surprisingly it all works mainly thanks to the chemistry between Downey and Galifianakis. Downey is amazing, as usual, delivering perfect one-liners almost every other minute, while the other one is a complete jerk, a disgusting pig with a masturbating dog. Todd Phillips literally builds on this contrast and puts the duo in situations that wouldn’t occur to the viewer even in their wildest dreams. He went a little overboard sometimes, maybe that’s why I didn’t give it the full five stars. Anyway, I had an amazing time watching it and I hadn’t laughed like this in a long time. Dad... You were like a father to me.

I just love these wacky comedies that pair a garrulous jerk with a guy having the worst day of his life. Due Date doesn't bring anything new to the table, but the humour maintains a very high level throughout and doesn't slip into the embarrassing or the obscene, which is the cornerstone of success in films like this. Plus, Downey and Galifianakis are a great match and I knew from their first meeting on set that I had something to look forward to, and that was the case. There was no end to the number of crazy, yet mostly very human and civil gags, and the overall simple script surprised and delighted me with several successful and funny twists. If the Americans intend to carry on making this type of comedies, I certainly won't be angry.

I guess I expected it to be a bit funnier, so there was a certain level of disappointment. On the other hand, Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis were great casting choices and together they created really excellent chemistry. The story isn't overly outrageous, but some of the gags worked really well. Let's just hope Galifianakis doesn't get typecast.
