In 7 words or less: Watch Planes, Trains & Automobiles instead.
What's it all About? Peter Highman (Robert Downey Jr.) is trying to make it home to LA for the birth of his child. After getting chucked off of his flight and subsequently being put on the "no-fly" list for mentioning terrorists he is forced to go on a road trip across America with Ethan Tremblay (Zach Galifianakis). Japes and scrapes ensue.
Best bits? Definitely some real 'LOL' moments in this, mostly coming from the brilliantly funny, Zach Galifianakis. Robert Downey Jr. is refreshing as the straight man and bounces off of Galifianakis really well. This clip is great, Ethan thinks Shakespeare is a famous pirate called Shakesbeard. HA!
Did it make you think thoughts? Yeah, it's a bad film peppered with some great scenes. There's no escaping the fact that it's a total rip off of John Hughes' excellent 80s romp, Planes, Trains & Automobiles. It is worth a watch though, the two main characters are definitely more interesting than what you come to expect from most modern comedy dirge.
Would you watch it again? Yeah, I could slap this on in the background and have a beer.
Rating (out of 100%): It made me laugh, can I ask anymore from a comedy? Yes, I can, so this gets a generous 63%
