Just saw this yesterday with my other half.
I thought it was funny, more OTT than the hangover and mostly in a good way. Although have to say I found some of the violence- especially with the kid a little uncomfortable to watch.
My other half LOVED IT!!! And so did most of the audience. I almost threw up my popcorn when the dog was being... um....intimate with himself.
Any thoughts from people that have seen this film? A classic or just funny, forgettable comedy fodder?

Overall I don't think was as consistently funny as 'The Hangover' but entertaining enough, and the dog was quite a star
Its rare that I've heard an audience laugh out loud altogether, usually there are groups of people laughing or one or two, however everyone did laugh in 'Due Date' and the place was packed out.
Then again - anything with Robert Downey Jr is a winner in my eyes - hes quite gorgeous!
There were so many, genuinely funny laugh out loud moments. Esp the kid, the dog and the coffee. I think I laughed the most when he'd been picked up by his friend, and he was convinced to take Ethan along and as soon as Ethan asked for an apology, Peter said 'F**k you', I don't know why it tickled me, but luckily the rest of the audience found it as funny as me.
It's not often I come out of comedies and want to see them again, and this is one of them. I loved it, and that's not just cos I'm a RDJ fan, he was just a very welcome bonus :cool:.
Hopefully not as I didn't find the trailer that funny. But then I didn't find the trailer for The Hangover that funny but its one of my favourite comedies.
Not at all, I didn't find the trailer that funny - the film is a lot better than you'd think.
The part with the annoying kid was hilarious.
Zach Galifianakis was hilarious though
I haven't seen The Hangover, but I'm sure gonna now>
When he said "I thought that said Texaco............" I thought myself and the stranger beside me were both going to die laughing
'Why are your father's ashes in a coffee can? Because he's dead, Peter.'
'You better check yourself before you wreck yourself!'
Hmmmm, contrary to the replies you've had already about this point, I'd have to say I agree with what you've been told.
I was really looking forward to this film as I found the Hangover absolutely hilarious, but Due Date fell far short of it. It's enjoyable enough, but I personally didn't experience any "laugh out loud" moments - more like a gentle chuckle occasionally. And most of this came from the bits I'd already seen in the trailer.
Good but not great I'm afraid.
Watch out Jonathan Ross.
I'll get it on DVD, it didn't look interesting enough to go see at the cinema.
Disappointed with this film - didn't find it nearly as funny as The Hangover. TBH Planes, Trains and Automobiles did it better 20-odd years ago.
