Yesterday night i went to the cinema(again!)and i saw Due Date.to tell you the truth i initially wanted to watch Heartbreaks,but my parents freaked out by the idea of watching a romantic drama,so yeah...i dont think i regret it though!
First of all let me tell you that i always loved Robert Jr.(well,since ironman really...),and i always loved Galyfianakis too.(well,since Hangover really...)so i must admit that i expected this movie to be pretty enjoyable :)
Now,the movie was something more than anjoyable and i would advice anyone that wants to cheer up or wants to laugh in general to run and see it.and if you really want my opinion(ohhh,i tried to be really formal but i cant!)this movie was fuckin awesome!at 4 scenes i cried from laughter!
Here are the reasons why i loved this movies so much and why i'd go to watch again and again and again and again...
-->Fun.thats how i would describe the whole movie if they asked me to with just one word.it was PURE FUN.
-->Great acting.do be honest,i didnt find the script too acting- demanding but thats just me.all i really know is that robert and zach were flawless.i mean like,FLAWLESSSSSS!
-->wonderful,wonderful,wonderful direction!the whole movie might have been a comedie,but always kept you at the edge of your seat.Like my dad said,it was a juicy movie.i didnt have time to even grab and drink my coke!moreover,the alternation between comical and emotional scenes was nice,although i found it kinda harsh cause always after a REALLY funny scene there was an emotional one,and vice versa.(i can go on and on talking about the direction but im not gonna do it-although that scene at the Grand Canyon gave me shivers-)
-->Nice music.Not the type of music i have on my mp3,but still it was really nice,and it wasnt limited to one genre only so i guess that this was what made it noteworthy.in fact now that i think again about it,the choice was so nice that tempts me to go to imdb and post the whole OST to my facebook.
-->Script.i know,i know.its a classic pattern:two totally opposite people,forced to stay together under weird circumstances for a long period of time,that they always become friends in the end(or lovers.it depends).But let me tell you that this time the script was so hilarious and so FULL,that made this ordinary concept extremely unique and special.
Favourite scenes of the movie:
-->the one at the bathroom,when Peter challenges Ethan to pretend to be a coach.
-->the one the car,when Ethan falls asleep while driving.
-->the one at the car(again)that Ethan smokes pot and everybody(including the dog)gets high.
-->the one at the house of Peter's friend,that they end up drinking Ethan's father.
-->the great rescue scene.EPIC!
-->the whole movie.
Im gonna give 4 and a half stars out of 5 to this movie.
(P.S.:a comedie can never get 5 stars from me,cause the thing that can never acheive is to stick with you or to teach you something great,or to leave you astonished.still,i think i will be remembering this movie for a long time...)
