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.

Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online Oscar-nominated actor Robert Downey Jr. usually has a knack for picking good movies. But Due Date is not one of them. Rated: D Sep 11, 2017 Full Review Peter Rainer Christian Science Monitor Downey is not entirely comfortable playing straight man and a little of Galifianakis's antics goes a long way. Rated: C Jan 3, 2011 Full Review Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) It's a tough double act, but the film pulls it off with great confidence and some major laughs. Rated: 3/5 Nov 24, 2010 Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia 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. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 5/10 Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Due Date is a big step down, like fall-down-an-escalator down. Rated: 1/5 Apr 7, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Like most of Phillips’ comedies, the movie’s half-life is brief, leaving the viewer only temporarily diverted until the moment it’s over. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Mike C Unexpectedly funny. There are some real laughs thanks to the wonderfully absurd Zak G. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review Susan B The movie is hilarious from the beginning to the end. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Nate J A pretty outrageous comedy that is the equivalent of a sweaty overlong roadtrip of misfortunate events. It is rapid fire comedy, sometimes obnoxious, often exhausting, but in this barren comedy landscape this film is standout. Worth a watch if you like either Galifinakis or the other guy. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/18/24 Full Review David C La actuación de Robert Downey Jr es buenísima los diálogos son muy graciosos está muy bien echa la historia Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review Larry K Hilarious movie. Has its serious moments too. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/24 Full Review James N I don't understand the hate, this is one of my favorite comedies. SO funny. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
