Two trailers were released on August 17, 2010, and September 16, 2010, respectively.http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/wb/duedate/ The trailers introduced viewers to Peter Highman, a man who is told he cannot fly due to being listed on the TSA's “no-fly list”; he therefore is desperately trying to travel cross country for the delivery of his first child. Along for the ride is Ethan Tremblay, a quirky and eccentric stranger who slowly drives Highman off the deep end with his constant meandering and ridiculous questions. Tremblay’s constant companion is his dog, which wears a dog cone. As they traverse the country together, they fall victim to numerous chaotic incidents and gradually form a tenuous friendship.http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/wb/duedate/

• "But this is pretty weak stuff considering the star power involved. It's a road-trip movie that starts at A and goes to Z with a series of ever-more-absurd skits in between. Most of the film's big laughs are in the trailer."—Tom Long of The Detroit Newshttp://detroitnews.com/article/20101105/OPINION03/11050328/1034/ent02/Review--%E2%80%98Due-Date%E2%80%99-fails-to-deliver

• "Few actors today deliver choice insults better than Downey, and even fewer absorb them better than Galifianakis. They make for a truly marvelous collision of opposites, and their interplay is what elevates Due Date above its often puzzlingly flat material."—Thomas Leupp of Hollywood.comhttp://www.hollywood.com/review/Due_Date/7725840
