Summary: An architect, Peter (Robert Downey Jr.), needs to get home before the birth of his first child. He has a mishap when he meets a Glaucoma sufferer, Ethan (Zach Galifianakis) and they're both forced to travel to "Hollywood" because of an airplane incident.
Review: Robert Down Jr. is an extremely versatile actor, and his deadpan humor actually shines through in this character. He doesn't seem that different than Iron Man, so maybe it's his actual character in real life. He's sarcastic and cavalier in the way he attacks others with his wit. Galifianakis cements his status as one of the funniest people in Hollywood right now. His eccentric characters are played to perfection and leaves plenty of wtf? moments.
Further Question/Philosophy/Theme: Does a cross-country road-trip create a deep bond like the one with Peter and Ethan.
Power Rating (Out of 5): 4 It was quite the comedy. I couldn't stop laughing at many times. It was very enjoyable and the laughs don't stop. It wasn't overly deep, and it is a movie that's made by the great characters played by Downey Jr. and Galifianakis.
