I soooo wanted this to be good. A buddy comedy with RDJ, Zach Galifianakis, and that cute dog. It should be funny right? It's not. Not enough at least.
The odd couple works but the story gets too serious and the mishaps are too out there. The two strangers get thrown off a plane together and are forced to travel together in a rental car from Atlanta to LA. RDJ is in a rush because his wife is about to give birth (that's where the due date comes in). Along the way they (mostly RDJ) are shot, drink the ashes of ZA's dead father, are in a way too serious car accident, and get detained at the Mexican border.
I usually hate movies that are made up of a bunch of misunderstandings, when each one is more ridiculous then the next. And, this is a perfect example of all of that. It's a big mess and annoying to watch.
It's too bad but this story was better the first time when it was called "Planes Trains and Automobiles." Hollywood needs to stop remaking the classics.
Do you think Zach Galifianakis is running out of stardom?
ReplyDeleteI don't know. He's funny, but maybe he it's just one joke and it can't last too long. I do like him though. I will give him another chance. :-)
