Our take on Due Date

Todd Phillips's 2010 comedy-drama sends uptight Peter Highman scrambling across the United States in five days to reach the birth of his first child, after his wallet and luggage are stolen and he lands on the no-fly list. His only way forward is a ride with an aspiring actor whose habits turn the trip into a mounting ordeal. The film runs on friction between two clashing personalities forced into close quarters, mixing broad road-trip comedy with flashes of feeling. It works best for viewers who enjoy odd-couple humor and don't mind cringe alongside the laughs, offering a familiar but energetic ride powered by its leads' opposing temperaments.
