This is a road movie which is likable and humorous throughout but never really goes beyond that.
Zack Galafanakis really makes the movie, he's a very likable and odd character with a lot of charm. Robert Downey junior however has difficulty in making you believe his character. You would expect him to be REALLY angry and very hateful but he never is. For that reason it lacks the contrast that might have been vital to the plot. Who knows.
I was never really quite sure at what point their relationship changed because it was never properly explained. They must have become friends during the long ride, off camera, or something? I don't know.
it's a watchable movie , but it isn't a riot like it should be.
