Maybe I've been too hard on Due Date, the road comedy starring Zach Galifianakis and Robert Downey Jr. The last trailer released was a totally laugh free experience, with Galifianakis wearing my nerves raw with his typical schtick. However, I'm sorta liking the look of this latest international version. It doesn't look like it'll compare with director Todd Phillips' best stuff, but I could warm up to this maybe. Check out the trailer, follwed by a plot synopsis. Due Date is set to arrive in theaters on November 5th, 2010!
SYNOPSIS
From director Todd Phillips, "Due Date" stars Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis as two unlikely companions who are thrown together on a road trip that turns out to be as life-changing as it is outrageous. Downey plays Peter Highman, an expectant first-time father whose wife’s due date is a mere five days away. As Peter hurries to catch a flight home from Atlanta to be at her side for the birth, his best intentions go completely awry when a chance encounter with aspiring actor Ethan Tremblay (Galifianakis) forces Peter to hitch a ride with Ethan on what turns out to be a cross-country road trip that will ultimately destroy several cars, numerous friendships and Peter’s last nerve.
