Consensus: Are We Done Yet? plays it way too safe with generic slapstick and uninspired domestic foibles.
Theatrical Release:08-06-2007
Synopsis: Rapper-turned-actor Ice Cube reprises his role as the Everyman-sports-fanatic Nick Persons of the road-trip slapstick comedy ARE WE THERE YET? (2005), evolving from bachelorhood to domesticated... [More]
Reviews for Are We Done Yet?
Top CriticDull at best, painfully unfunny at worst, let's hope the answer to Are We Done Yet? is in the affirmative.
06/08/07
Top CriticEven John C McGinley (Dr. Cox from Scrubs) can't save this lamest of comedies.
06/08/07
Top CriticThe only thing in Steve Carr’s fatuous movie that earns a few giggles is John C McGinley’s silliness as a new-age builder.
06/09/07
Top CriticOh, I do hope so. Why Ice Cube thought his wretched family outing Are We There Yet? deserved a sequel is baffling, since all it revealed was his complete ineptitude as a light comedian.
06/08/07
McGinley, as it happens, is the film's only trump card, his madcap multi-tasker stealing every scene he's in and leaving the movie's nominal star for dead.
06/08/07
Top CriticLet’s just hope the kids find burping raccoons and crumbling ceilings hilarious.
07/12/07
Top CriticBasically, the title says it all and if you're unlucky enough to end up seeing this, you'll be repeating that title for the entire 96 minutes. Avoid.
06/19/07
Avoid at all costs.
06/08/07
US audiences ate it up and there are just enough laughs to appease those whose tastes run to utterly undemanding kiddie slapstick and life lessons.
06/08/07
Although Ice Cube is still happy to haul out his old snarl when it serves his purposes, he's clearly trying to reinvent himself as a family entertainer. But the milder he gets, the less confident he seems. What's a reformed gangsta rapper to do?
04/03/07
Top CriticThe kids come off like little spokesmodels, or aliens, and if not for Long's implausibly patient but good-natured Suzanne, there wouldn't be a recognizably human character in the film.
04/03/07
Top CriticDespite his trademark scowl, Cube can't keep himself from looking sheepish. That's where the title comes in.
04/06/07
Ice Cube's do-it-yourself sequel is too formulaic.
10/31/07
The plot follows an inevitable path of life lessons and forgiving hugs...
04/04/07
Like its predecessor, Are We Done Yet? is amiable enough, but not enough to make it compelling.
04/03/07
Nothing is very funny in this movie, and everything is predictable.
04/21/07
Are We Done Yet? isn't much more than a middling middle-class fantasy, but it has a few sweet admonitions nestled amid the tomfoolery.
04/04/07
'I can fix that,' Nick says each time a new problem arises in the house. How are we supposed to believe that when the filmmakers couldn't fix this poorly constructed sequel from its prefab origins?
04/04/07
Top CriticOstensibly, the message...is the difference between an expensive house and a priceless home, but since the message is taught by a greedy psychopath, it rings a bit hollow.
