baaaaaack... after such a long break. Have also caught quite a lotta movies during this period and i really have a looooot to catch up on my posts (assuming anyone actually reads it).
the overall tone for Due Date is quite fast-paced; please do not let the 'theme' mislead you. Coming from the same producers as Hangover I and II (actually i didn't really like those two as compared to this one), the show discusses and acts out the weirdest combinations of things that could happen during a seemingly "harmless" and mundane routine.
oh and Robert Downey Jr. is perfect for this role, being his usual, talkative-self, armed with a witty sense of humour and his fast rate of speech (kinda like a mumbling machine gun). His co-star Zach Galifianakis (is that even his real name???) which you might remember as a "regular" from the Hangover series, is more talkative and queerer than usual. Anyways, no super makeovers for the two stars as they represent the people whom you may meet daily (minus the provision of some seriously extreme dry wit and queer-ness).
Synopsis: the plot revolves around "Ironman" trying to get back to his wife who is near her delivery due date, and the series of slapsticks created by Mr. Queer deters him from ever doing so. The show does have its crazy moments, and i love it for those moments (read: breaking away from custody under the Mexican Customs, slapping of a irritating kid a.k.a. the things probably a suppressed person would love to do but won't).
RPR: as a result, i give this show a 9/10 rating.
