Are We There Yet? (2005)

So much average

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Surprisingly enough this movie was a box office hit and many local TV channels are considering this as a ...Xmas movie and they put in their program once a year.The script is ludicrous and annoying. A guy who likes a hot (if you count Nia Long as such) mother of 2, in order to make her to like him pretends to be a caring friend and takes her kids to a roadtrip to Vancouver.Every scene is annoying (yes I know that I used the word too many times).It has a cartoon-ish feel. Like you are watching looney toons. By all means this is NOT a family movie and certainly not a Xmas one.Overall: Some people are consider this a seasonal movie but believe you me isn't. Avoid it.

This was a really lousy and unfunny movie. It may sound funny, but it's not. They didn't put any heart into their humor. They were just trying to be funny! Like for example, a kid throws up in the car. Also, it was pretty boring in the beginning and it dose'nt get much better. There were only 1 or 2 funny parts, but that's about it. Home alone is much, much, much, much, much, much, better than this lame piece of garbage! I like the 4.5/10 it has. That might change soon. There are many names to call this. Heartless, fail, Lack of humor, lame, etc. So overall, this film was a flop. The sequel wasn't any better than this. I wasted $1 on this. That's all, I give this a 3.5/10-3/10.

Alright, I will admit that this "movie" might be funny for little kids. Very little kids who can't reach the DVD player to turn it off. However, if you're an adult with a properly functioning brain and you thought this movie was anywhere near funny, you should just go jump out of the nearest window. Seriously, we need to stop going to the movies and supporting this junk. Movies like Kangaroo Jack and Are We There Yet? make lots of money at the box office, yet quality kids flicks like The Iron Giant and The Nightmare Before Christmas get shafted at the theaters. That reflects on the movie-going public for not doing their homework before going to see a movie with their own kids. There's a lot of inappropriate humor that isn't even funny in this pile of crap. I feel sorry for Ice Cube, Nia Long and Jay Mohr. Why even bother? Were they really that starved for cash? Or did they have a whole bunch of people say "you know what, I think you should star in a lowbrow kids comedy that makes you look like an idiot with lots of bodily function humor. It'll be great." Yeah, right. The plot isn't even important in this waste of time. Even if someone runs up to you in the street and shouts "Hey, I'll give you ten bucks to watch this movie!" you should still consider it very very thoroughly. Your brain depends on it. Hey, I'm all for lowbrow humor when it comes to some movies. But there is no excuse for something like this existing and making as much money as it has. If you really want your kids to love the movies, show them The Incredibles or James And The Giant Peach or anything but Are We There Yet? Trust me, your kids will be cooler for it in the long run.

Are we there yet is a clichéd film about a man named Nick(Ice Cube) who falls in love with a woman played by Nia Long. Ms. Long has two kids who could charitably be called hellions. They cause Nick to wreck his car, get beaten up, and generally show no respect for a guy who is doing a HUGE favor for their mother, although why she would miss these bratty terrors is a mystery. Ice Cube is okay as the put upon nice guy who has to take all the abuse from these monsters. Nia Long is okay too, I guess, however the actors playing the kids are horrific. This movie should be shown to suspected Al Qaeda terrorists, having to watch this dreadful waste of celluloid would make them talk. Avoid this movie at all costs, unless you have some sort of masochist desire to watch one of the worst family films of all time.
