Due Date

The critics have been way too harsh on the movie “Due Date,” claiming that the performances by Robert Downy, Jr. and Zach Galifianakis were not up to their full potentials. But I beg to disagree with them.
The film relies on the juxtaposition of the roles of Downy and Galifianakis, a quite strange duo. “Due Date” uses characters who are complete opposites just like “Cop Out” and “The Other Guys” except “Due Date” is way more fresh than the crappy slapstick jokes of Tracy Morgan and Will Ferrell. Although the storyline of going on a road trip with a crazy travelling partner has become a little bit old and boring, the plot is not tired enough to write off “Due Date” as nothing more than a mediocre comedy.
Downy plays a high-strung and ambitious architect who wants nothing more than to get back to Los Angeles to see the birth of his son. But, due to Galifianakis’ character’s actions, Downy is kicked off of his flight and lands himself on the no-fly list. Also, his wallet took the plane ride without him, so he’s forced to ride with Galifianakis from Atlanta to Los Angeles and somehow, Downy figured out a way to get rid of his attitude 
Galifianakis plays an nasty and bizarre wannabe actor who aims to score a role in “Two in a Half Men.” No surprises about Galifianakis’ character his way of humor has nearly cornered him into playing a very specific type of role. But, in all of his successful movies, his magic relies almost entirely on interacting with other actors. Galifianakis performs well with Robert Downy, Jr. in “Due Date” as he did with Bradley Cooper in “The Hangover.”
One important thing to keep in mind about “Due Date” is its attempt to fill the comedic void that 2010 has offered. With all of the incredible action and drama films released this year, the best Hollywood comedy of the year before “Due Date” was arguably “Dinner for Schmucks,” which isn’t saying that much.
Instead, 2010 has presented more movies like the pathetic attempt at lame laughs in “Grown Ups” and the  unnecessary sequel of “Get Him to the Greek.” And lets not forget to mention “Furry Vengeance” with Brendan Frasier or any of these so called “comedies” starring Michael Cera. But all in all this is a great movie to watch with friends to get out a good laugh, from its ridiculous scenes to its hilarious one liners, id say you should definitely think about watching this movie
