Robert Downey Jr.’s Forgotten Road Trip Adventure Is Officially a Global Streaming Hit

Todd Phillips has given us some good movies, barring Joker: Folie à Deux, which just did not sit well with neither critics nor fans. But for those who are following his filmography, there are fine features like Joker, War Dogs, and especially The Hangover trilogy. Around the world, The Hangover franchise is beloved among fans for its comedic elements, chaotic fun, and the overall wild ride that it is.

Throughout three films, we follow four friends (Phil, Alan, Stu, and Doug) through their misadventures across Las Vegas, Thailand, or on a road trip. Things go horribly awry every time, and our beloved characters navigate the situation in the most hilarious fashion. With Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, and Justin Bartha filling out the cast, the movies are some of the best in the genre.

In 2011, Phillips made Due Date, with Galifianakis as Ethan Tremblay, an eccentric man-child very similar to his Hangover character, and Robert Downey Jr. as a high-strung architect. We follow Peter Highman (Downey Jr.), who is trying to fly home from Atlanta to Los Angeles to make it in time for the birth of his first child, which is a week away. After a bizarre airport misunderstanding caused by Ethan (Galifianakis), both men are kicked off the plane and placed on the national “no-fly” list. Having lost his luggage and wallet, a desperate Peter is forced to accept a cross-country car ride with Ethan and his French bulldog, leading to a series of destructive and chaotic mishaps.

You carry something heavy — and you carry it alone, even when you don’t have to. You were not born for greatness, and that is precisely why greatness chose you. Your courage is not the roaring, sword-swinging kind; it is quiet, stubborn, and terrifying in its refusal to quit. The Ring weighs on you more than anyone can see, and still you walk toward the fire. That is not weakness. That is the rarest kind of strength there is.

You are, without question, the best of them. Not the most powerful, not the most celebrated — but the most essential. Your loyalty is not a trait; it is a force of nature. You would carry the person you love up the slopes of Mount Doom if it came to that, and we both know you’d do it without being asked. The world needs more people like you, and the world is lucky it has even one.

You were born to lead, and you have spent years running from it. The crown is yours by right, but you know better than anyone that right means nothing without the will and the worthiness to back it up. You are tempered by loss, shaped by long roads, and defined by a code of honour you hold to even when no one is watching. When you finally step forward, the world shifts. Because it was always waiting for you.

You have seen more than you let on, and you say less than you know — which is exactly as it should be. You are a catalyst: you do not fight the battles yourself, you ignite the people who can. Your wisdom comes not from books but from an age of watching what happens when it is ignored. You arrive precisely when you mean to, and your presence alone changes what is possible. A wizard is never late.

Graceful, perceptive, and almost preternaturally calm under pressure — you see things others miss and act before others react. You do not need to make a scene to be remarkable; your presence speaks for itself. You are loyal to those you choose to stand beside, and that choice is not made lightly. You have lived long enough to know that the most beautiful things in this world are also the most fragile, and that is why you fight to protect them.

You are loud, proud, and absolutely formidable — and beneath all of that is one of the most fiercely loyal hearts in Middle-earth. You don’t do anything by half measures. Your friendships are forged like iron, your grudges run as deep as mines, and your courage in battle is the kind that makes legends. You came into this fellowship suspicious of everyone and ended it willing to die for an elf. That is not a small thing. That is everything.

You think in centuries and act in absolutes. Order, dominion, control — not because you are cruel by nature, but because you have decided that the world left to itself always falls apart, and you are the only one with the vision and the will to hold it together. You were not always this. Something was lost, or taken, or betrayed, and the version of you that stands now is the answer to that wound. The tragedy is that you’re not entirely wrong — just entirely too far gone to course-correct.

You are a study in contradiction — pitiable and dangerous, cunning and broken, capable of both cruelty and something that once resembled love. You are defined by loss: of innocence, of self, of the one thing that gave your existence meaning. Two voices war inside you constantly, and the tragedy is that the better one sometimes wins, just not often enough, and never at the right moment. You are a warning, yes — but also a mirror. We are all a little Gollum, given the right ring and enough time.

‘Due Date’ Is Back on Streaming Charts

Due Date turned out to be a major commercial hit, grossing over $212 million worldwide on a budget of $65 million. However, it earned a 39% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, while the audience was kinder with their 52% score. Nonetheless, the film is a laugh riot, with brilliant performances by Downey Jr. as a deeply flawed and aggressive man with anger issues and Galifianakis bringing his trademark deadpan, socially clueless humor.

Now, over a decade later, the film is getting its due on streaming too. Due Date has found a spot on Netflix’s top 10 charts, as per FlixPatrol. The feature is standing tall among newer titles like Spanish drama Desire, Kenneth Branagh’s Death on the Nile, the highly anticipated Netflix film Heartstopper Forever, The Creator, and more.

Check out Due Date on Netflix now. Stay tuned to Collider for more such updates.
