Nick Persons (Ice Cube) is a dealer in sports collectibles who has fallen for beautiful executive Suzanne Kingston (Nia Long). However, Nick discovers he has a bigger task than just winning her over -- Suzanne is a divorced mother with two children, Lindsey (Aleisha Allen) and Kevin (Philip Daniel Bolden), and the kids don't believe any man besides their father is fit for their mother to date. Even though Nick doesn't care much for kids, he's eager to win Lindsey and Kevin over to score points with Suzanne, and so when business commitments threaten to strand Suzanne in Vancouver without her children for New Year's Eve, Nick volunteers to escort them. But when Nick is bumped from an airline flight due to a corkscrew in his pocket, he's forced to drive the kids to Canada, and Lindsey and Kevin see this as a golden opportunity to make life very difficult for Nick. Ice Cube served as both star and producer for this project. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Scott Foundas, Variety
A joyless road-trip comedy that's about as pleasant as a bad case of car sickness.
-
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
The gags seem pretty lame even by the standards assiduously applied by most 8-year-olds.
-
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
These kids are going after perfectly innocent nice adults. They are some of the nastiest children in movie history.
-
Mark Holcomb, Village Voice
Lacks the courage of its grape-juice-, mud-, and vomit-spattered convictions.
-
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
How much sweeter Nick's heart-to-heart with Lindsey and Kevin would be if the movie was more than a clichéd journey.
