There weren't really any movies that looked that good and worked with our schedule, but Grandma was over and willing to watch the young 'un and you can't pass up free baby sitting, so we decided to check out Hereafter. The preview looked good, but it looked sad (which I wasn't really in the mood for), and the reviews were middling. But still, Eastwood has earned the benefit of the doubt lately, so decided to give it a shot.
While standing in line, a guy came up to us and said 'do you want to see a free movie'? He had an extra pass to the sneak preview of 'Due Date'. Score! Was way more in the mood for a comedy, and free is free.
So, there are definitely some funny parts, but overall it was no great shakes. I can't quite give it an un-recommend, cause comedies are few and far between lately, and sometimes you gotta at least take a shot at having a good laugh. And maybe it'll hit your sensibilities just right. But I found the two theater employees using night vision apparatus to search the theater for bootleggers far more entertaining than the movie itself, which probably isn't a good sign.
