Re: Due Date
I actually don't think this film was that crude compared to something like Superbad etc and I kind of b*ght into the buddy buddy bromance thing and Zach Galifianakis is really growing on me. Yes it is sub-the Hangover but was nevertheless quite watchable 7/10

Re: Due Date
I saw this last night after I eventually managed to b*y my ticket at Vue, Ocean Terminal.
Vue were showing a Les Mis somethingorother live from the O2 so the place was packed, with a lot of people \i guess who don't normally go to a multiplex cinema and yet Vue had decided to keep all their ticket desks closed so the only place to get tickets (unless you'd booked online) was from either the food queue or the Ben & Jerry counter - all of which were very busy. Sadly we got in a line where the staff member knew the two girls in front of us and took 10 mins to serve them as she spent so long chatting to them and doing her job at dead slow and stop speed. My husband did have a moan at her and her reaction was that she heard what he was saying but it wasn't going to do any good moaning at her as she wasn't interested - gee quality staff! I'll drop a note to Vue if I get the time as that was ridiculous, I'm there at least once a week generally because it's nearest rather than any other great loyalty!
Anyway, the film..............It was funny in most parts and the actors were very good in their roles but I just felt it lacked something to take it to the hilarious and excellent level of the Hangover. It was rude and crude in part and some of it was funny and some of it missed the mark in my opinion.
7/10 from me.

Re: Due Date
absolutely loved this film. Zach Galifinakis and Robert Downey jr were superb. I didn't think i would find a film that made me laugh as much as the hangover but this one definetly did.. as well as get me some dirty looks from other cinema goers as i couldnt stop sniggering.. oops


Re: Due Date
It was better than I thought, although Trains Planes and Automobiles is far superior!
(almost identical scenario as well!)

Re: Due Date
Today was my first cinema trip since September so I had to make sure it was a good one and it definitely was! The movie was hilarious but not as funny as the Hangover. There were only about 10 of us in the room and all the laughs good be heard from our end only
. I loved RDJ in this movie, hope he does many more of these type of films.
7/10
