"Before becoming world-renowned for 'Joker', filmmaker Todd Phillips directed a series of comedies. Among others, 'The Hangover', 'Old School' and, one of the most entertaining, 'Due Date'. Starring Robert Downey Jr. ('Avengers: Endgame') and Zach Galifianakis (also from 'The Hangover'), the feature film follows the journey of a first-time father (Downey Jr.) who is forced to hitch a ride with an aspiring actor (Galifianakis). From there, mixing elements of bestial comedy with road movie, 'Due Date' shows the relationship between these two evolving and taking unexpected turns. It's hard not to laugh at the scene of the rollover, or at one of the phrases that has become popular: "Dad, you were like a dad to me". A silly movie, but with genuine humor. To laugh, entertain and the time."
