Weak car doors pervade new Due Date trailer

It's not a good sign when a joke is repeated twice in the same trailer, but I guess that's what we get when Todd Phillips is forced to try and out-funny The Hangover, his last big hit. Seriously, have you ever run into a car door and it just fell off? It never happens and the only time it's ever been funny in a movie was when Chris Farley did it in Tommy Boy. Now that's good stuff. The trailer and a quote from Phillips on the pressure to follow up his big hit are below. 

MTV caught up with Phillips today. He had some interesting comments about the new movie.

I think pressure is always a good thing. A lot of guys make a big hit movie on the size of "The Hangover" and they get gun-shy. They wait a few years in a weird way, and I wanted to do the opposite. I wanted to do something again and not worry if it was going to be as big as "The Hangover" because "The Hangover" was lightning in a bottle. You can't judge other successes or other movies based on it. I just didn't want to get into that headspace. That was part of the reason for striking out and doing something real quick like "Due Date." It's something I had been developing — it's not like it's rushed — but it went quicker because I was like, "Let's just go do it." For me, I choose movies based on who I can get in it. Comedies are so about casting. Obviously I wanted to work with Zach again after "The Hangover" and Downey is pretty much the best there is out there. Once he said yes, we were like, "Let's just go."

Due Date hits theaters November 5, 2010.
