While I try and avoid the worst comedies of all time, seeing something as pitiful as "Vampires Suck" allowed me to reaffirm my belief that while movies like Due Date may be unoriginal at points, there are movies that just shouldn't exist...Angry Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05279712002732219827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8354276430905573685.post-82194202736393970972010-12-16T01:11:52.002-08:002010-12-16T01:11:52.002-08:00Yeah, I'm sometimes really wondering- if they ...Yeah, I'm sometimes really wondering- if they invest so much money on actors etc. why not spend just a little more on script writing... But I guess when we buy tickets we encourage movie makers to continue making mediocre movies.

While at time I appreciate those jokes, more often then not they prove to come off as more unoriginal each time around and hinder the more unique comedy moments of the film,Angry Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05279712002732219827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8354276430905573685.post-32024883331474289622010-12-15T10:31:30.500-08:002010-12-15T10:31:30.500-08:00Planes, Trains and Automobiles was funnier (and ha...Planes, Trains and Automobiles was funnier (and had a better title, too...) In any case, I thought Due Date was very funny at times and predictable at others.

My only criticism would be some of the extremes, like the car crash or breaking through the border. The moments seemed oddly intense in an otherwise realistically set film. The car accident actually felt too dramatic when you saw it to seem funny - I thought they'd cut away to reveal Downey was actually dreaming or something. The moments could've worked, but the severity of the incidents actually took me out of the plot temporarily.<br /><br />Still, a very funny movie.<br /><br />And too the Anonymous comment, Planes, Trains and Automobiles is brilliant! It's another great road movie with similar character types, but I'd hardly say the plot was stolen.Editing Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260713641003376853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8354276430905573685.post-45714705456267251062010-11-23T14:40:54.836-08:002010-11-23T14:40:54.836-08:00You actually make a very valid point.

Although I have only seen bits and pieces of 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' I am aware of it's general plot and am surprised I didn't think of it either. Than again, there are numerous road trip movies I could have mentioned, but that one is closer to 'Due Date' than any others I can think of. Due Date is still a good movie, obviously, but I am a big supporter of those classics that came first, and will have to check it out.

If this is because you have yet to see said film, I suggest you give it a chance as it is hilarious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
