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.

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

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.

Robert Downey Jr really tried acting in this comedy. I think he is a funny character and the awkward combination between him and Zach really made the film good to watch. There are dark humor inside that I loved, especially where Jimmy Fox was involved, that was gold comedy writing. An OKAY film, I liked it.

Hilarious. Not sure what the critics hated, but RDJ and ZG are perfect idiots thrown together. If you liked Dumb and Dumber, you will probably like this. If you want a silly, goofy movie to take you away from the serious world we live in, this is it.

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.'
