So i'm a little late with this review, and i'd heard quite a few negative hings about this film. but i enjoyed it with some genuinely laugh out loud moments.
its no classic like Planes, Trains and Automobiles. it doesnt feel as slapstick as that. it is a more conservative film and moment you have heard about or seen in the trailer, like hitting children and running into car doors, i dont think sum up the movie.
it is a buddy buddy road movie, but they are real characters with all their vicious floors laid bare on the journey. Ok, Zach Galifianakis character is a slight comic creation, but i don't agree its a slapstick one, a sad lonely character who we laugh at yes.
Downey Jr puts in another great performance as a tight business man with a cruel streak but with glimpses of humanity and by the end you feel there is a genuine bond between the two of them.
two great cameos from Juliette Lewis & Jamie Foxx.
3 stars
