Due Date (Philips, 2010)

Tough to see this one and not compare it to last year's comedy smash The Hangover, seeing as they share a star and a director. But Due Date is a much more minor effort, saved in large part by some great scenes sold by both Downey Jr's awesome deadpan and Galifianakis' weirdo routine (although he is much more grating than appealing in this one compared to The Hangover). If nothing else it confirms what I wrote in my previous review: we need more of Juliette Lewis in movies.

**1/2

The movie hanover is really awesome.In the follow-up to the record-breaking hit comedy "The Hangover," Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis), and Doug (Justin Bartha) travel to exotic Thailand for Stu's wedding. After the unforgettable bachelor party in Las Vegas, Stu is taking no chances and has opted for a safe, subdued pre-wedding brunch. However, things don't always go as planned. What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in Bangkok can't even be imagined.
Good reviews!
