Desire Peter Highman (Robert Downey Jr.) may not be too grandiose, but sometimes even a simple desire to be something really complicated when executed. As a result, not only desire is so threatened not met but there may be innocent people who have become victims.
Peter just wanted to go home on time so that he could be beside his wife in childbirth later. Everything was taken into account. Peter was sure would get home before his wife gave birth. But there is one thing that is not accounted for Peter, the interference of others who make it are forced to travel overland rather than using the aircraft as planned Peter.
It's the act of Ethan Tremblay (Zach Galifianakis), Peter was forced to travel overland. Apparently, the original road trip sounded so smooth it even disastrous. Not so smooth and pleasant trip but Ethan and Peter could not even face the risk down to Los Angeles just in time. In fact, Peter's original desire was to get home before his wife gave birth.
Review
Last year, Todd Phillips' The Hangover directing a sequel would be made soon. For this year, Todd back through the film titled DUE DATE, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis. By theme, DUE DATE is still not too far from The Hangover although repetition of this theme was not too helpful performance DUE DATE.
Some call road movie. Whatever its name, film comedy, this one is trying to provoke laughter through the events that happened during the trip. When The Hangover trying to provoke laughter through the adventures of the men who are looking for their missing friend, this time Todd Phillips tries to dig a joke from two different characters who have to travel together.
In terms of acting, both Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis are already tested, although equally it seems comedy is Zach region. But it does not matter here because Robert did not have to do silly like Zach. The character Peter was designed to be a partner Ethan. This difference is so despite the strength DUE DATE DUE DATE the same time also has some flaws. When compared with The Hangover that have a strong enough story plot, DUE DATE is actually weak on this side.
