I mean come on people! A summary of why this the worst movie i have ever seen I thought at least it could be like one of those crappy DMX action movies but it wasn't even up to that low standard. I was coaxed into going little did i know that it was a kids movie - it has Ice Cube in for God's sake. The worst movie i have ever seen at the movies by far. I have never written on IMDb and never have on any other movie review sites but i felt compelled to for this one. In the end, this is a nice rental for the kids to watch but everyone else should skip it. Is Are we there yet? the worst movie of the year? No, out of all the films I have seen that honor would go to The Wedding Date. There were a few laughs just not enough for the film to expand its audience. As a family film, the kids should enjoy it while adults will most likely be asleep or annoyed. The opening scene is stolen from Home Alone and the entire film is full of clichés. Another problem with the movie is that it's not very original. Usually, his family films bore and annoy me but this one is better than most of his movies. Brian Levant directs and he does an okay job. However, since the movie is only 90 minutes long, it isn't too much of a punishment to sit through. Jay Mohr is in the movie for about ten minutes despite being mentioned in the previews.ĭespite all this violence happening to Nick, the film is actually kind of dull. The former was the worst of the two and I hope she doesn't pursue a singing career. Aleisha Allen and Philip Bolden both give good performances as really annoying kids. She doesn't get a lot of screen time though. Nia Long was just 'meh', nothing special at all. Ice Cube gives a good performance and he's a pretty good sport for letting all that stuff happen to him. I felt sorry for Ice Cube because he was pretty much killed from all the stuff that happened to him. I understand that the kids will hate Nick but some of the stuff they do to him is so over the top and unnecessary. They attack Nick because they don't want any guy getting close to their mom. The jokes are mean spirited because the kids in the film are pretty vicious. The jokes are just too mean spirited to be funny and most of the funny jokes were used in the trailer. The premise held some potential to be good but the film turned out to be average at best. Since she's stuck working in Vancouver and misses her kids, he agrees to drive them up from Portland, but if he thinks her kids are going to let him mack on their mom without a fight, he has another thing coming. Nick (Ice Cube) is a born 'playah,' who takes on a arduous task to convince divorced Suzanne (Nia Long) to go out with him. There were periodic jokes and entertaining scenes, but if you don't like 'kiddy' movies, I would not encourage this.

Noticing half of the theater filled with children ranging from five to twelve, and tons of parents, I'd definitely suggest staying away from this movie on a date. There were a few intriguing camera angles, better than I've seen from directors of Levant's credibility. The way the actors worked together accented the movie.Ĭinematography in this movie was exactly what I expected. And the cherry on top of the acting was Jay Mohr (Pay It Forward, Jerry Maguire). Aleisha Allen (School of Rock) and Philip Bolden (Johnson Family Vacation) were well-cast. Ice Cube played a better role than I expected. They attempt to make it in 24 hours by plane, train and automobile.ĭirected by Brian Levant, director of Snow Dogs (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) and Jingle All The Way (Arnold Schwarzenegger), he defines his love for making family-fun movies.įor what it was worth, the acting was decent. He must transport Kingston's two 'angelic' children 350 miles from Oregon to Vancouver. Through a series of worst-case scenarios from deer attacks to a train race on horseback, Nick Persons (Ice Cube, Barbershop) experiences it all.īeginning a timid romance between Persons and Suzanne Kingston (Nia Long, Boiler Room), possible babysitters for her children while she's away becomes few and far between, leaving Persons, a child-hater as the only viable option. Then, that tedious question arises.Are we there yet? But in the new flick, Are we there yet?, that question takes a new meaning. Long distance driving, constant headaches, groaning and claustrophobia.
