"In adult social settings, alpha males again may be judged not so much by aggression, but by their ability to get the most attractive women as mates. This is the primary reason for alpha behavior in other animals...."
Due Date (2010) is a reincarnation of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (1987) a legendarty road trip flick, where two unlikely dudes start out hating each other, but realize the meaning of humanity by the end of it. In this updated version we get Robert Downey, Jr. as the straight man (previously played by Steve Martin) and Zacharius Knight "Zach" Galifianakis as the fat guy (previously played by John Candy).
I got no problem with this flick lifting the Planes plot. More or less, such a stupid odd couple plot is merely a hook for good comedic performances. Therein, we have not seen the last road trip movie that is for sure. Due Date is more raunchier than Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. That isn't necessarily a good or bad thing. I think the main gripe I have with Due Date is that it takes itself too seriously at points, while suddenly throwing us into beyond-stupid scenarios.
Case in point. The characters accidentally make a wrong turn and head to Mexico. That whole part should have been tossed.
The Mexico scene was too much cornball slapstick, which seemed out of keeping with this mostly reality-based, asinine plot, which toyed with sentimentality. Still, Due Date is a decent flick and there are plenty of good laughs to be sure.
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is a more heartfelt and good natured comedy - not that I personally give a shit one way or another. Due Date will be appealing to your Jack Ass the movie film goer. Only, it is overlayed a road trip plot hook.
Due Date does have a few serious transgressions, which prevent it from attaining a King or Ace ranking. You really have to suspend your disbelief quite a bit to buy into the characters in this flick. First, it is hard to picture Downey, Jr.'s character would ever get in a car with such an obnoxious asshole as that portrayed by Galifianakis. Second, the flick meanders in and out of Jack Ass land, going from a film that wants you to laugh at the non-stop scatalogical humor on one hand and then wanting you to like these two assholes on the other. Look past issues and you are in for a decent ride of a comedy.

Ethan was too much of a fucking D-bag.
Jerking off in the car was flat out gross.
Can't really see these two guys paired up for any reason.
The only thing I really liked about She’s Out of My League is that it is filmed in Pittsburgh (my home sweet home) and makes the city look pretty darn nice. Unfortunately, this movie sucked.
She's Out of My League is a 2010 American romantic comedy film directed by Jim Field Smith and written by Sean Anders and John Morris. The film stars Jay Baruchel and Alice Eve.
Kirk Kettner (Jay Baruchel) is a hopeless dork working as a TSA guard at Pittsburgh International Airport. All of his friends that work there are hopeless nerds too. This film really makes out the TSA to be nothing but a collection of aviation failures. In the 40-Year-Old Virgin, all the employees of the electronics store, which was sort of like Best Buy, at least had some semblance of dignity. It was not like that movie portrayed all people working at retail stores as abject failures and losers. This movie sort of does that with the TSA. They throw the TSA under the, eh, airplane, I guess.
Ever dream about going to Vegas for your bachelor party, getting so inebriated that you cannot remember that you stole Mike Tyson’s pet tiger or how a naked Asian man got into your trunk? Oh and where you might have left one of your best buds, who also happened to be the groom?
That is the premise behind the movie The Hangover. The movie is jammed packed with the shenanigans of four guys heading to Vegas two days before the wedding. The group starts out with good intentions for the party, until future brother-in-law Alan (Zach Galifianakis), decides to secretly slip the others (and himself) a little ecstasy into their drinks. The only problem with his theory, he didn’t buy ecstasy but instead had ‘roofied’ the gang.
As someone who lives in Pittsburgh I have time and time again had my interest, or lack thereof, questioned in terms of local artists, events, foods and beverages. There have been far too many times that a person will say to me “what do you mean you don’t listen Christina Aguilera? You’re from Pittsburgh” or “how can you say that Iron City Beer is terrible? You’re from Pittsburgh.” People seem willing to assume that just because I hail from the same place as something I will ignore how bad that thing is and fall in love with it because it came from near where I do. Unfortunately for Christina, Iron City and now the “comedy” movie Adventureland, that is something I am simply not willing to do.
Danny McBride is not a name that evokes any kind of cinematic memories for most people, I would bet. Some people might say “yeah, I knew a Danny McBride. I think he was in my French class, er…wait…maybe he was on my youth soccer team back in the day.” But while such a statement may or may not be true, chances are the Danny McBride who stars in the movie The Foot Fist Way is not the same one that the above quoted person was thinking about.
