Due Date
High-strung father-to-be Peter Highman is forced to hitch a ride with aspiring actor Ethan Tremblay on a road trip in order to make it to his child's birth on time. Immediately after you saw the trailer for this, you thought of John Hughes' classic "Planes, Trains And Automobiles" The similarity is that an uptight a-hole needs to get home at a certain time and gets accompanied by a severely obnoxious a-hole. What is the difference? While Planes delivers in genuine, emotional development and naturally turns the characters around, this film makes the duo so irritating and annoying in their series of pointlessly bad setups. There is just no reason to give a crap about these characters, their plights or any glimpse of them turning around and I just hated them more and more the more time I spent with them. The humor is just Zach being a complete idiotic obnoxious man-child that you just want to stay hell away from him. Plus the gross-out and immature humor wasn't well-thought out or didn't have a hint of cleverness. The entire journey wasn't worth a crap and you just feel like you want to smack the hell out of these people.
1 and a half out of 5 stars
