Ethan Tremblay is a mixture of idiocy, bravery(somewhat), gratuity, and a strangeness that is so unprecedented that it borders the paranormal. Tremblay seriously believed the Grand Canyon was man made, causing one to think there is no way he could be so misinformed, but he was. This character was annoying and on the precipice of being unbearable, and if Tremblay was not traumatized with any familial issues, and if he was not so generous, it would have been easy to dislike him, and also to feel , Peter's (Downey) treatment of him was justified at times.
Although Tremblay was annoying, he's redeeming qualities won me over, and they won Peter over as well. Peter possessing common sense, and being better informed certainly did not like Tremblay at first, but after much yelling they eventually developed an understanding. Peter and Tremblay did not share much in common, except that both had issues with their father.
Downey and Galifianakis had awesome chemistry on screen, and It was a lot of fun watching those two. The scene in Mexico was the turning point in the characters' relationships, because at that juncture it appeared they were truly becoming friends. Due Date was funny and semi hilarious. The humor was witty and knowledge driven, for one would have to possesses a basic education to understand some of the jokes, especially the joke about the Grand Canyon.
Maybe there are some people who truly believe the Grand Canyon was man-made. Overall it was funny. A little weird, but funny. According to metacritic.com the film received mixed reviews, and rottentomatoes.com scored the film 49 fresh tomatoes to 78 rotten ones. I'll score it a 76. Stay tuned, movieporium.blogspot.com.
