  Your average comedy that had somewhat funny scenes throughout. A good film, but not great.

  "Ice Cube needs to learn to leave acting to actors. Not rappers, not athletes, actors."-Marc L., "xXx: State of the Union" review It seems that Ice Cube has not learned, but rather decided that because he can not get any praise in the action genre, he'll take a shot at the family genre. Needless to say, I'm missing State of the Union. This movie was painfully unfunny, painfully predictable and pretty dark for a kids movie. There was some good I guess. The child actors (Aleshia Allen and Phillip Daniel Boyden) did a surprisingly good job playing the kids. There on their way to successful careers. Unfortunatley, the characters they play are simply evil. They are spolied, obnoxious and loud. Not to mention the little demons are downright PSYCHOTIC! They enjoy torturing her mothers boyfriends, sneaking knives into Ice Cube's backpack at plane stations and GET THIS...THROW BUCKETS OF ROCK HARD ICE AT PEOPLE! Do they realize that can kill people? Don't worry, the mother is just as bad. They don;t say it out loud, but the mother seems to hate her kids. She basically gives them to Ice Cube's character because she's so sick of them. And know we move over to Cube himself. Once again, he cannot act, and most of his dialogue consists of "AHHHH!!!!" The humor was even worse. The humor in this movie includes horribly unfunny slapstick, bodily humor, peeing on old women and a talking boble head. That's right, a talking bobble head. Why is there a talking bobble head?!!!! The musical number in the movie is painfully forced, and is one of the biggest "big lipped alligator scenes" I've EVER seen. Cube, I'm willing to forgive you as long as you stop making crappy films and start going back to your fantastic rap career.

  Great and well-made cross country comedy for black people. Lots of fun with the tantrums, potty traumas, attack deer and car demolition.

  I liked this movie mainly cause i think Cube deserved more credit than people give him. Hes a great 'black' actor in what is a 'black' movie which is very funny for all the right reasons. Its for anyone whoes in the mood. I love the early scenes when introducing Cubes character - and the scene in the store where he 'tells' off the two kids with abuse and a football. :-) And i love 'conscious' talking scenes on the form of Cube's baseball memorabilla - hilarious. But overall, this is an enjoyable flick. Ignore the very 'white' critics of the flick and watch it to be entertained and you will be.

  Director <i>Brian Levant</i> doesn't have a very impressive track record behind him in terms of his involvement with kids movies, with such filmic abominations as <b>Snow Dogs</b>, <b>Jingle All The Way</b> and <b>Problem Child 2</b> under his belt,but he appears to have hit his target audience on the head with this. In the lead role, <i>Ice Cube</i> has moved his film career on, but the script finds it hard going to disassociate him from the ghetto culture he's pretty much ingrained in, with numerous references to his roots thrown up. <i>Aleisha Allen</i> and <i>Philip Bolden</i> are very good and have a good rapport with <i>Ice Cube</i>. They are aiming to be, and are, just obnoxious enough to serve their function well. Overall, <b>Are We There Yet?</b> is not particularly charming and not particularly inspired in any way, but a bit like it's central characters predicament, doing something it feels inexperienced doing, it just about manages to hit the right nails on the head and surfaces as passable entertainment.

  Somewhat funny yet poorly casted, this film does not live up to its full potential.

• Daniel D

  
  Terrible movie

• Joseph E

  
  How come some of the most Ridculious and Bawdy children's film are dumb, but funny? If they had the dumbest and yet funniest Bawdy one award, this would be it!

• Yinalí R

  
  Funny.

• Jason S

  
  Hopelessly forgettable kids flick. There is nothing memorable, none of the jokes stick and its all a horrible mess. Avoid.

• Janice :

  
  Ice Cube makes me laugh so hard, it feels like my head is going to pop off my body.
