<p>So, yesterday, I took myself to a birthday movie because I wasn't going to be able to get there today during a matinee and I'm cheap about movies!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I went to see Due Date.</p>
<p>Robert Downey Jr. needs to travel from Atlanta back to LA so that he can be there for the scheduled C-section of his first baby.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You get that from the reviews and trailers on tv.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I tell ya..............</p>
<p>I laughed so hard I seriously thought I was gonna wet my pants.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You know that feeling you get in the middle of a race, when you realize that you got there too late to hit the porta potty before the start, but all the johns in the first 2 or 3 miles have lines a bazillion miles long, and YOU GOTTA go? Yeah, the whole second half of the movie I felt that way. But, I couldn't walk over "to the bushes" (so to speak) because then I'd miss something.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you are one who's offended by the [email protected]#k word.....do not go. At one point, I think it was uttered ever 42 seconds. But, other than that, and one other scene that suggested some "potentially not nice" things.....it wasn't bad at all.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There were several times when the entire theater population jumped in their seats because what happened was surprising/startling/shocking. Major loud guffaws.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And, I really don't ever make public reviews of movies, but this just HAD to be said.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, if you've seen it........chime in, but let's not spoil it for those who haven't.</p>
<p>If you haven't seen it...... go. It's funny.</p>
<p>No literary value, whatsoever, but a great "mind flush" as we like to call it in my family.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thus ends my public service announcement for entertainment for the week.</p>
