As the title suggests, I just walked out of a movie for the first time today.
I've seen some bad movies in the past, but today, I saw a movie SO bad I could no longer sit through it.
I saw Due Date, with Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis. I absolutely HATED this movie. I couldn't sit through it for more than an hour. Once Jamie Foxx showed up, I just said "Done", and walked out of the theater.
So, yeah, have any of you ever walked out of a horrible movie before?
Due Date was very obviously going to be the Hangover 2 (even before Hangover 2 comes out). I can't wrap my mind around how you could not expect it to be exactly how it was.
I haven't walked out, since I'm only ever at the theater with other people, but there are many that I have been bored while watching, or just ignoring the film as it goes.
Here's the thing, I LOVED the Hangover, and I did indeed think this was going to be in the same vein. However, there's a key difference with this movie: It wasn't funny. At all.
Really, I just found it unpleasant. Downey Jr. was nothing but a complete ass, and Galifianakis, while playing a similar character to the one from Hangover, was simply not fun to watch. He just didn't have the same charm he did in Hangover.
Pretty much all the jokes failed miserably. Without spoiling anything, there's a joke in there about Iraq war veterans. Not only is it NOT funny, it's insulting.
Maybe I just went in with inflated expectations, but this movie just did NOTHING for me.
