Due Date: 6/10

A wash. Though it has a few memorable parts, the thick of the movie is far from laugh out loud funny, struggling for even a chuckle or two. Robert Downey Jr is utterly wasted here and acts as if he knows it throughout the entire movie. The film is more like a bunch of wacky situation strung together on a string than a series of unfortunate accidents that could realistically happen - this movie is all by the numbers. Galifinakis is great here, but the movie rests far too much of its successes on the idea that people will laugh continuously over a flamboyant man-child and his ugly dog to save this film. Don't watch it - wait for the DVD.
