It should be inaccurate to say that "Expected Date" is an "American" Roadmovie (road movie). Real highway movies mostly describe the hardships and obstacles encountered by the owner on the road, and the changes in their inner emotions as they overcome these difficult events, as well as the process of change that the audience can experience. "The Expected Date" is not deep enough to express (explainingly let the audience see the Grand Canyon). Its purpose is to present the comedy effect of the film through the conflicts and disputes between two heroes with very different personalities. The "encounters" on the road-(disputes) are like crazy and funny sketches made up by mere actors. The play of their personalities. In addition, the film is also an emotional fusion between two strange men, which has evolved from being unfamiliar to a true friendship.
The crazy story in the film is so interesting that only director Todd Phillips can create. For the application of actor Zach Galifianakis, it can be said to be well-suited and fully used his "very two ", "very cute" characteristics. In fact, the character's characteristics are also transplants of "The Hangover". It is not difficult to imagine that they have spotted a series of commercial effects derived from "The Hangover". At the same time, we will also do a market warm-up for the director, the cast and the upcoming "Hangover 2" to familiarize unfamiliar audiences and make expecting audiences look forward to it.
Shortly after the beginning of the film, a set of slow motion was used to make Zac and the dog in his arms appear on stage. At this time, the camera also focused on Downey's expression, which was obviously knocked down by thunder. However, the director's editor excludes making jokes, but wants to explain their cultural differences and pave the way for the next "fighting drama". But in any case, the viewers can't imagine that a good man who went back to have a childbirth was bruised and bruised by an idiot he met on the road, and he almost went home without his life. In addition, it is very necessary to praise the "lewd" and highly acting Harpy, and admire the dog trainer behind the scenes. He deeply noticed that what kind of dog will have what kind of owner.
Friends who have watched "The Hangover" have greatly appreciated Zac's performance in the film-a little low IQ and involuntary involuntary action is the biggest feature of his performance. (Many actors in the deductive style of pretending to be crazy and silly are unable to show their true feelings and are not pretentious. Wang Baoqiang in "A World Without Thieves" and "Human in Embarrassing Pictures" gives people the impression of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger", which is a bit too much. Two".)
Although Zach Galifianakis's wonderful performance is the biggest attraction of "Preliminary". But we can't ignore the role that Robert Downey Jr. played in the film. He used that kind of very rare personal charm comedy tension to add strength to Zach Galifianakis. (In addition to his excellent acting skills, Downey is also a well-recognized handsome man. He also has a unique charm when performing comedy. In some comedy-effect scenes, he has a serious expression and sharp speech like a county party secretary walking around a kiln. But. , Can always use witty words and instant funny expressions to make viewers happy.) For example, he asked Zach Galifianakis to perform in the movie what is "acting", and the curse is not returned. The expression of injustice in the mouth, the taste of his father’s ashes as coffee, and a series of reactions after knowing that coffee is ashes, the film finally allowed him to get his wish into Hollywood soap operas and become a real comedian.
