	Author	Review
United States	Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly	"The unexpected pairing of Galifianakis and Downey is a pleasure (...) But Atlanta to L.A. is a long drive, during which Phillips can't decide whether to go for the raunchy or the mushy"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The movie probably contains enough laughs to satisfy the weekend audience. Where it falls short is in the characters and relationships (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A raucous ride built out of used parts and bizarre shifts in tone but driven by two comic virtuosos who know that the best laugh riffs rise from a baseline of character (...) Is Due Date the new Hangover? It is not. But it has its own rewards (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Galifianakis is good enough to make you almost forget the movie."	NEU
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"'Due Date' doesn't begin to rival 'Hangover' for inventiveness or hilarity. But the sharp comic instincts and contrasting styles of the stars (...) keep the film alive despite the setup's aggravations and familiarity"	NEU
United States	Keith Phipps AV Club	"Todd Phillips smartly lets his leads’ chemistry power the movie (...) The film keeps finding memorable comic moments"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"There are some nice moments, but the comedy mostly doesn't come off and there is no double-act chemistry between Downey and Galifianakis (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Angie Errigo Empire	"It's a bit funny but also quite a bit nasty (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
