Ah, it's an old chestnut the buddy road comedy, and its done well here. They don't start out as buddy's though, Robert Downey Jr. and Zack Galifianakis. It's basically Plains, Trains, and Automobiles minus the trains. Galfianakis gets Downey and himself kicked off an airplane and put on a no fly list. Downey left his wallet on the plane and is strandrad in Atlanta while his wife (Michelle Monaghan, pretty but with little to do in this one) is in L.A. due for a cisarian section in just a few days. Downey must get to her, Galifianakis has a rental car, so away they go. He's a trying one to travel with that Galifianakis, and Downey's very uptight, but thanks to a series of adventures and a little drug use Robert Jr. comes to warm to him. This movie does its genera well, there's some gross out humor but not too much, it mostly concentrates on more traditional comedy very much like PTAA. Rarely do I find a comedy that's this much of a pleasure to watch.
Good +
