It is one of the most comic movies I have seen lately. It has been directed by Todd Phillips (of the Hangover fame) and, stars Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis as the main actors. Just like the hangover was a comedy about four guys doing all sorts of stupid things in Las Vegas, so too this movie is a comedy about these two doing all kinds of crazy stuff on a road trip halfway across the USA.
The dialogues are spot on funny and I could find many people in the theater rolling on their seats.
Robert Downey Jr. (Peter) is an architect who is flying for the delivery of his pregnant wife. He meets Zach Galifianakis (Ethan) in the airport and Peter has really bad experiences with Ethan right from their hand baggage getting exchanged to Ethan's tummy rubbing Peter while Ethan is trying to fit his baggage inside the aeroplane. Due to an incident, both of them are grounded and to get to LA (for his wife's delivery), Peter is forced to drive with Ethan due to lack of options.
The drive is really funny with Ethan doing all sort of stupid things that would irritate any sane person and Peter trying to control his urges of stealing the car and running away. They finish their cash, get stoned, reach Mexico, go to the Grand Canyon and somehow reach LA. There are lot of funny moments inside which I am not going to disclose much about. They concern things like Ethan's Dad (ashes in a coffee can) and Jamie Foxx.
Although the movie falls a notch short of the Hangover (in Todd Phillip's case) or Iron Man (in RD Jr.'s case), this is nonetheless a decent watch.
This movie is a good comedy after a long long time and one must definitely watch it with friends to laugh endlessly and get some relief.

2. I believe it was better than both hangover for Galifinakis[or was it giankapoulos] and Downey jr.[ironman was the cliched sci-fi]
