Due Date (2010)

The premise is as old as the hills, two strangers trying to get to the same destination but hindered by authority, and each other.The first comparison to spring to mind is of course the classic Planes, Trains And Automobiles, well imagine that film but with a sucker punch of bad taste.

Obviously not in the same comedy league as Planes, Trains....this is still great fun, Robert Downey Jnr is the star, another great performance he really has a great screen prescence as witnessed recently in Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes, sneering and bad tempered throughout, if he's not spitting in a dogs face he'll be suckewr punching 10 year olds!!

The movie does start slowly but does have many plenty of daft moments throughout, the 'great escape' probably was a bit OTT , but scenes like the 'coffee incident' and "you know what, I have coverage" more than make up for it in the laugh out loud category.
