Ironman star Robert Downey Jr. and The Hangover star  Zach Galifianakis joined together in another comedy movie that will try to make us laugh.

The Story

Due Date story goes with Peter portrayed by Downey, a soon to be first time father who went for business trip but encountered series of unfortunate events during his return.

Claudia Puig, USA Today

"Peter collides with goony Ethan (Galifianakis). Disbelief must be suspended when Peter makes it through airport security in inadvertent possession of Ethan's marijuana (allegedly for his glaucoma). As Peter, Downey insists, 'I've never done drugs in my life,' a line that is all the funnier given Downey's past. Officials confiscate the drug, Peter is allowed to board the flight. But after an onboard ruckus involving Ethan's protruding hairy belly, he and Ethan are tossed off and onto the no-fly list. Peter now must make the cross-country trip by car to arrive in time to see his baby born. But thanks to more contrived shenanigans, he has no credit card to rent a car. Ethan, however, manages to get a rental car, and the next thing you know, the two are sharing the front seat."


The Reviews

Comingsoon.net Edward Douglas finds the movie funny here's his review,

"Not all the jokes work, but when they do, it's due to the perfect comic timing and chemistry that keeps you invested in this odd couple. While many of the best gags may be given away by the commercials, there is more than enough other things to explore in their relationship with a surprising amount of warmth and heart that makes it feel like a far more mature effort on Phillips' part. Ultimately, 'Due Date' may not be nearly as clever as 'The Hangover' and its attempt to solve a 'night before' mystery, but it is a fairly satisfying film on its own merits, a fun experience that's more than just an endless stream of jokes." —

User generated movie reviews site Rottentomatoes.com, gave a total of 40% score Tomatometer which is obviously too low for any movie but at least gained 72% audience liked. I should say, making movie fans laugh is one of the hardest thing a movie producer could ever do. Here's one of the users said, "Involuntary drug use, the understanding female waiting at home, masturbating innocents, violent strangers with crowbars - it seems as if this whole film is a hangover from The Hangover." It's sure is, Hangover was indeed funny but following its storyline will not assure you of the same appreciation.

Final words.

Well, movie reviews are all personal opinions and if you feel like watching it don't bother yourself with others' comments just watch it.

Portland Blazer legene Maurice Lucas passes away today. We would like to extend our condolence to his family and friends.

Portland Trail Blazers Sunday night issued the following text of a press release.

TRAIL BLAZERS LEGEND MAURICE LUCAS PASSES AWAY

PORTLAND, Ore. - Portland Trail Blazers legendary forward Maurice Lucas passed away today at the age of 58 after a long battle with cancer.

Lucas was a central figure on the Trail Blazers 1976-77 NBA Championship team and averaged 15.6 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.72 blocked shots over five seasons (1976-80, 87-88) in Portland.

During Portland's 1976-77 NBA Championship season, Lucas led the team in scoring (20.2), field goals made (8.0), free throws made (4.2), offensive rebounds (2.4) and minutes (36.2). In the 1977 Playoffs, Lucas led the team in scoring in eight of the 19 games and in rebounding twice.

"Portland and the NBA lost one of their greats today," said owner Paul Allen. "Maurice Lucas was an amazing man and I count myself lucky to have known him. We all - players, coaches, the owner and the fans - were made better by having Maurice a part of our team, whether playing on the championship team or, most recently as an assistant coach.

"He was one of the greatest Blazers ever. I'll miss him. I and the entire Blazer family send our condolences to his wife, Pamela, and their children," added Allen.

A standout at Marquette University, Lucas led the school to the NCAA National Championship game in 1974. Portland acquired Lucas as the second pick in the 1976 ABA dispersal draft. He played 12 seasons in the NBA and four in the American Basketball Association.

"Words cannot express the magnitude of loss we feel tonight with the passing of Maurice Lucas," said Trail Blazers President Larry Miller. "The Trail Blazers family has lost our Enforcer, but for me personally, I have lost a brother.

"Maurice has left unforgettable fingerprints on every decade of Trail Blazers basketball, yet it is his booming personality, his warrior-like loyalty, and most of all, his undying love for his family, for the Trail Blazers, for his teammates, and for the city of Portland that we will all hold dearly in our hearts. On behalf of myself and the entire Trail Blazers organization, our deepest sympathy goes out to his wife Pam, sons Maurice Jr. and David, daughter Kristin and grandson Luke," added Miller.

Selected to the All-Star Game in three straight seasons from 1977-79, Lucas is one of four three-time All-Stars in Trail Blazers history (Clyde Drexler, Brandon Roy, Sidney Wicks).

"We have lost a champion of a man," said Trail Blazers Head Coach Nate McMillan. "Maurice was a great man and a great friend. He battled his illness like the warrior he was on the basketball court.

"We were so fortunate to have his influence on the young men on this team. He was my mentor, my big brother, and I always knew he had my back. He has left us far too soon," added McMillan.

The Pittsburgh, Pa., native was named to the All-NBA Second Team and All-Defensive First Team in 1977-78. He was named to the All-Defensive Second Team in 1978-79.

Lucas most recently served as an assistant coach with the Trail Blazers for five seasons from 2005-10, and previously in 1988-89.

The Trail Blazers honored Lucas by retiring his uniform number (No. 20) on Nov. 4, 1988.

Service arrangements are to be determined.
