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.

Downey is not entirely comfortable playing straight man and a little of Galifianakis's antics goes a long way.

3/5

It's a tough double act, but the film pulls it off with great confidence and some major laughs.

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. [Full review in Spanish]

Due Date is a big step down, like fall-down-an-escalator down.

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.

You just can't emphasize with the character of Ethan making him an unbearable character although the movie, making it unwatchable

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.'

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.
