ethan: “you should name your kid after sonny.”

peter: “i am not naming my first child after a masturbating dog.”

LOL zack galifianakis really steals the show as actor-wannabe ethan tremblay! if i were to road trip with anyone, it would be him! :P

it doesn’t sound like much of a story but how high strung and father-to-be peter highman (robert downey jr.) and actor-wannabe ethan tremblay (zack galifianakis) end up on the road together is “interesting”... essentially, peter and ethan end up on the TSA no-fly list due to ethan’s usage of the words “bomb” and “terrorists” in front of an air marshal, and of course, with peter’s $ lost @ the ATL baggage claim, ethan asks peter to join him on the road with his crazy self and his pitbull sonny. thus, the adventure begins! peter just wants to get to LA in time for his wife’s delivery, but ethan literally keeps derailing them...such as buying his medical MJ from a dealer in birmingham (juliette lewis), asking peter to make a pit stop at the grand canyon to spread his father’s ashes, and of course, getting into a fender bender in TX. LOL, it wouldn’t be a todd phillips movie w/o an impromptu trip to mexico, of course! so, fasten your seatbelts and get ready for one wild ride... ;)

i think HANDS DOWN (no pun intended) the 2 best scenes are when ethan is masturbating in the car along with sonny and when darryl (jamie foxx) accidentally puts ethan’s dad into the coffee machine. (“this tastes like cat litter” LOL!) those two scenes i literally rewinded because they were so funny... this doesn’t beat the hangover or old school, but it is pretty good. it’s been a while since RDJr. has been in a comedy, and with zack g. by his side, this one doesn’t disappoint! :)
