Due Date - 1st May 2012

Tuesday Night is Film Night hits the month of May and we start off with the comedy;

Due Date

Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis team up as Peter Highman and Ethan Tremblay respectively, in this comedy road trip across the United States.

The premise of the movie is this;
Peter Highman needs to return to LA, to be at the birth of his first child.
Ethan Tremblay is heading to Hollywood to try and make it as an actor.

The two do not know each other, until a car accident at the airport forces their separate paths to cross.

What follows is a slapstick adventure where, after being banned from flying (they end up on a "no fly list")  the two characters join forces, somewhat reluctantly, to get across the USA in time for the birth of Peter's child.

I won't go in to details of their journey, as this is whole point of the film, so you will need to watch the film to appreciate all the jokes. There are some great visual gags and stunts. There are also a plethora of little gags, some funny, some hilarious.
Watch out for the scene with the coffee and Ethans' dead father. See? You need to watch it to find out.

Robert Downey Jr. is superb, perfectly playing the straight laced Peter. Zach Galifianakis also puts in a great performance as the bumbling, inept but ultimately, dare I say, loveable Ethan.

Due Date is a knockabout comedy road trip, which should have you laughing out loud.

Well worth a watch.
