Due Date

Phillips’ follow-up film feels like bad hangover after great party. Foxx is Downey’s downfall and Soloist isn’t an isolated incident. Someone skipped script revision process and just threw two great actors into wacky situation with hope that it would work out. Poorly conceived, premature comedic bastard with appropriately terrible delivery.

Funny People

Funny people does not equal funny performances. Sandler does well with quasi-serious part of role, but becomes too douchy to empathize with. Rogen and rest of cast do stand up but don’t stand out. Bana revitalizes film in eighth act, but by the three hour mark it loses laughs again.
