		<description><![CDATA[Due Date, starring Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man 2) and Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover), is essentially a modern retelling of the 1987 John Hughes classic, Planes, Trains and Automobiles. In that hilarious odd couple comedy, Steve Martin was a road weary salesman struggling to get home for Thanksgiving and, at the same time, trying to rid himself of a well-meaning but lecherous misfit, played by John Candy. The movie is memorable for the “where are your hands” motel scene, as well as Steve Martin’s f-word diatribe in the rent-a-car line. And while that movie had some mean moments, Due Date’s retelling, albeit most likely unintentional, shows viewers that if art imitates life, 23 years later we’re meaner, more puerile and grouchier than ever before. The meanness I speak of emanates enthusiastically from Peter Highman (Robert Downey Jr.), a Bluetooth-wearing, modern-day busybody. We never really know what Peter does for a living, but it’s not important – he’s curt, distracted, rude and insecure, an archetype of today’s middle-aged Banana Republic brigade. Peter is on his way home to Los Angeles to be with his wife (Michelle Monaghan), as she is due to give birth to the couple’s first child. On the flip side, we’re introduced to Ethan Tremblay (Zach Galifiankis), a happy-go-lucky man-child who is as airheaded as he is a magnet for random destruction. The difference, as we come to discover through the movie, is that Peter chooses to be a jackass, while Ethan is who he is and offers no apologies. Yes, he’s annoying and yes anyone who openly masturbates in the passenger side of a rental car should automatically be blacklisted, but a kind, caring heart covers a multitude of sins, whereas Peter’s self-serving thinking and insults simply highlight his repugnant heart. Peter and Ethan’s adventure begins when the duo is kicked off an airplane by a sky marshal and put on the TSC’s (Terrorist Screen Center) controversial “no fly list.” To make matters worse, Peter’s wallet is stuck with his luggage on the flight he was booted from, so he has no ID, no money and not a lot of options. He decides to hitch a ride with the talkative, quirky Ethan who, aside from taking his dad’s ashes to the Grand Canyon, is also heading to Hollywood to become an actor. As the pair crisscross the Gulf States into Texas and on to California, they meet with every conceivable problem and destruction, most of which is caused by Ethan’s penchant for marijuana, thoughtlessness and falling asleep at the wheel. These moments aren’t so much funny in a jovial, ha-ha sort of way, as they are in a voyeuristic, YouTube generation, open-mouthed, I-can’t-believe-they-showed-that sort of way. Most of the time we’re not laughing at Ethan but rather at Peter, who, in devilish retribution, says and does things we all dream we could do, but, thankfully, have the common decency to restrain ourselves from. Downey Jr. proves again he is capable of acting in any capacity and any...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite almost being on Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man 2) and Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) overload, I&#8217;m beginning to shed my initial reluctance to director Todd Phillips&#8217; new comedy, Due Date. After the second full-length trailer and this new redband preview, I have to admit, this looks hilarious. Still, I think Due Date probably will fare better for Downey Jr. than it will for Galifianakis. Why? Look at Downey Jr.&#8217;s resume. The guy has talent and range; he can star in a drama, comedy, action or anything else you want to cram in between. Galifianakis, who was and is buyoed by his performance as Alan in The Hangover, is a funny actor, but his schtick is growing tiresome. Like Jim Carrey, Will Ferrell and the neighbor kid who has been coming over to your house everyday for the last month, Galifianakis will wear out his welcome and we&#8217;ll forget about him for awhile. Just long enough for him to come back and remind us why we loved him in the first place. Take a peek at the redband trailer after the jump and let me know your thoughts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I took a little R&#38;R this past week in Garden City, Utah, so there wasn&#8217;t much posting going on. I&#8217;ve never missed a Trailer Tuesday, so while this is belated, it&#8217;s still valid. Longtime AATM reader Danny championed the new Due Date trailer last week after I posted the preview for Middle Men, and while he thought it was gut-busting goodness, I’m not that impressed and, subsequently, this makes me kind of pissed off. How can a movie directed by Todd Phillips (The Hangover) and starring Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man 2), Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) and Michelle Monaghan (Gone Baby Gone) have such a crappy trailer? I’ll tell you with two words: Jamie Foxx.  I can’t stand him or his acting. The guy is poison. Yeah, I said it. I don’t care if he won an Oscar for playing Ray Charles and I don’t care if he’s BFFs with Kanye West. I think he sucks and is straight up CBO (that’s Chris Bosh Overrated, for the uneducated). Furthermore, despite the success of The Hangover, let’s also remember Todd Phillips is the man behind Starsky &#38; Hutch and School for Scoundrels, both of which were cinematic turds. So if Due Date bombs at the box office, count me not surprised. Check out the trailer after the jump and give me your opinion.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This summer&#8217;s hit comedy &#8220;The Hangover&#8221; recently became the highest grossing R-rated comedy of all time. Considering the movie had a budget of $34 million and subsequently raked in over $247 million, you can bet director Todd Phillips (&#8220;Old School&#8221;) is making Warner Brothers do cartwheels and backflips into a giant pool of sweaty money. It&#8217;s no wonder Phillips new comedy, &#8220;Due Date,&#8221; starts shooting this fall. &#8220;Hangover&#8221; star Zach Galifianakis is already attached and Robert Downey Jr has just signed on to play the other lead. I&#8217;ll say it right now: I&#8217;d see the movie for Galifanakis, but with Downey Jr. this movie is easily a must-see. Phillips is calling his new comedy &#8220;a buddy comedy without the buddies.&#8221; I&#8217;d love to tell you when it&#8217;s scheduled to hit theaters, but there is no release date as of yet.]]></description>
