A Tempo e Horas

Uma comédia inteligente e civil de amigos de road-movie que consegue ser loucamente WTF, mantendo os seus pés firmemente no chão e sendo ao mesmo tempo humana. No âmago do argumento bem-feito estão os caracteres escritos exatamente para Downey e Galifianakis e a grande química entre eles. Galifianakis já não é apenas um personagem silenciosamente engraçado aqui, tal como foi em A Ressaca. (20/01/2011)

I would expect that Phillips, after finding his life film for the audience, would repeat the pattern in a more average (digestible) form. Instead, he goes far beyond all reasonable limits, not yielding to incomprehensibly vulgar gags, and the humor of the whole film is reliably hidden in the box of "weird". Several more serious moments actually don't make much sense because they are clear and immediately brushed off, undermining the script in both aspects. Shortly after it ends, one realizes that if someone unknown were in Downey's place, Due Date would actually be a total debacle. The second star shines purely thanks to the merits of Iron Man, who manages to maintain his composure and charisma even when fighting a disabled person or facing a masturbating dog. P.S.: When Galifianakis timidly mentored and cautiously acted in Tru Calling years ago, he was really nice. When he became known for his comedic roles, I wished him well. But when he plays the same type for the fourth or fifth time, the scruffy drunk/high fool, I can't stand to see him. For this, Phillips gets a big minus. (14/12/2010)

And once again the great comedian Zach Galifianakis returns to us, and once again he's equipped with a lot of great lines and jokes. He just hits me the right way and as road movies go this is the best choice. But I can't forgive myself for comparing it to The Hangover again, which set the bar really high. And although it has one brilliant scene, it's just not up to the level of The Hangover. It gets 4.5 stars. (24/05/2011)

I’d kill him. I guess I’d kill him. A really pleasant comedy, and surprisingly it all works mainly thanks to the chemistry between Downey and Galifianakis. Downey is amazing, as usual, delivering perfect one-liners almost every other minute, while the other one is a complete jerk, a disgusting pig with a masturbating dog. Todd Phillips literally builds on this contrast and puts the duo in situations that wouldn’t occur to the viewer even in their wildest dreams. He went a little overboard sometimes, maybe that’s why I didn’t give it the full five stars. Anyway, I had an amazing time watching it and I hadn’t laughed like this in a long time. Dad... You were like a father to me. (11/02/2011)

I just love these wacky comedies that pair a garrulous jerk with a guy having the worst day of his life. Due Date doesn't bring anything new to the table, but the humour maintains a very high level throughout and doesn't slip into the embarrassing or the obscene, which is the cornerstone of success in films like this. Plus, Downey and Galifianakis are a great match and I knew from their first meeting on set that I had something to look forward to, and that was the case. There was no end to the number of crazy, yet mostly very human and civil gags, and the overall simple script surprised and delighted me with several successful and funny twists. If the Americans intend to carry on making this type of comedies, I certainly won't be angry. (30/08/2011)

Seria uma comédia louca e na boa se não fosse um roubo tão evidente do conteúdo de Antes Só Que Mal Acompanhado. Não são apenas a premissa e a estrutura do filme que foram copiadas, mas também algumas das cenas e discursos dos personagens - talvez um ano após a morte de John Hughes, os argumentistas já tenham perdido a aversão ao plágio. E enquanto John Candy interpretou no filme original um desajeitado que no fim merece a simpatia do espetador, Zach Galifianakis interpreta um sociopata perigoso e mortal, com o qual poucos podiam simpatizar. Se admitissem que se trata de um remake, seria possível fazer de conta que não o vemos, porque, em princípio, é um filme de estrada divertido, mas apresentá-lo como um filme autónomo é realmente apenas um truque.

I expected it to be even funnier, so there was some disappointment. On the other hand, Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis are great cast and together they created really great chemistry. The story is not that crazy, but some gags work very well. Just hope Galifianakis doesn't get pigeonholed. (07/03/2014)
