The other day I went to see the comedy written, directed, and produced by Todd Fillips – “Due Date”. Â Todd also played one of the supporting roles in this film, which is somewhat usual of him. Â Two main roles were played by Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis.
Even though I did enjoy this comedy quite a bit, I still felt that it was rushed into production. Â Some parts of the movie are hilarious. Â I’ve been laughing out loud more than twice. Â And even laughed to tears once or twice. Â But there were parts of this movie which were unnecessary, boring, and disconnected. Â It felt like these were early drafts.
Robert Downey Jr. was interesting – a somewhat more dramatic character than most of his recent movies. Â Zach Galifianakis was exactly as he usually is in his most recent movies. Â There were weird moments, but overall the duet worked together.
I won’t recommend this film strongly, but if you have a chance to see it – see it. Â It’s not a total waste of time. Â Ranking-wise, I’d give it a 4 out of 5.
