What to Know

Critics Consensus

Shamelessly derivative and only sporadically funny, Due Date doesn't live up to the possibilities suggested by its talented director and marvelously mismatched stars.

Oscar-nominated actor Robert Downey Jr. usually has a knack for picking good movies. But Due Date is not one of them. Go to Full Review Peter Rainer Christian Science Monitor 01/03/2011

Downey is not entirely comfortable playing straight man and a little of Galifianakis's antics goes a long way. Go to Full Review Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) 11/24/2010

It's a tough double act, but the film pulls it off with great confidence and some major laughs. Go to Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia 10/11/2024
5/10
It has the necessary conditions to achieve some absurd humor with the chemistry of Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis, but its predictable journey soon loses its comic effect when it detours down a series of easy shortcuts.

Due Date is a big step down, like fall-down-an-escalator down. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 08/03/2023
2.5/4
Like most of Phillips’ comedies, the movie’s half-life is brief, leaving the viewer only temporarily diverted until the moment it’s over. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Gordon G @Lyceum Nov 21 Steve Martin and John Candy did it. These guys don't. A mishmash of scenes that don't form a storyline, a poor script badly delivered, distractions added in, daft 'Mexico' episode, stupid coffee 'joke.' See more Zaid S Nov 18 Good Movie. i laff. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO See more Enzo N Aug 5 Une comédie que j'ai découvert que récemment et elle m'a fait beaucoup rire. Un duo d'acteur improbable avec Zach Galifianakis qu'on a tous pour la plupart connu dans les Very Bad Trip, et Robert Downey Jr. qui bien sûr, est le célèbre Iron Man. Inattendu mais excessivement drôle. Zach Galifianakis a le don d'user les nerfs de ses collègues dans ces différents rôle, j'aimerais beaucoup avoir un ami comme lui dans ma vie même si parfois, j'aurais peur de me retrouver nue dans un club échangiste sans comprendre pourquoi. Bref, je parle, je parle mais pas pour dire grand-chose à vrai dire, une très bonne comédie je vous conseil d'aller voir. See more Jun 5 Absolute banger of a movie... See more Alexander T @Mcjangles May 13 This is probably the best road trip movie. It’s super funny and also very entertaining. It has a good ending and good story. See more J B Mar 9 Brilliantly derivative take on Planes, Traines, and Automobiles for the modern audience. Feels like a hodge podge of throw em up ideas where none stick on the wall but you can't help but laugh at what a silly mess it is. See more Read all reviews
