This movie didn't look even close to as funny or as good as "The Hangover", but I decided to give it a chance based on the director's past history with comedies. I must say that it was a big disappointment from start to finish. I chuckled a few times, but there were never any any great lines or scenes that made me want to have a repeat viewing right away. The movie is a poor man's "Planes, Trains, & Automobiles". The entire movie seemed forced and rushed into production of the huge success of "The Hangover". The movie consisted of multiple sketches put together while they traveled across country. The characters and story are forgotten the second the scene is over. There are plenty worse comedies out there, but not even close to Todd Phillips best effort.
Two opposites are forced to travel across country in a car, because they are put on the no-fly list at the airport. It's that simple of a plot. They didn't even really try.
If you like "R" rated comedies than this might pass the time, but don't expect a great comedic achievement here.
