Are We There Yet? (2005)
Mature themes
Nick Persons (Ice Cube) is the affable owner of a sports memorabilia store and a shiny new 4WD, which is his pride and joy. He has also just spied something else he likes very much – sexy divorcee, Suzanne Kingston (Nia Long) who runs an event management service just across the street, but as he makes a beeline for her, he freezes when he notices that Suzanne comes with two attachments – kids.
Nick doesn’t like kids and these two, Lindsey and Kevin (Aleisha Allen and Philip Bolden) are first-rate brats whom we have already seen pulling some tortuous Home Alone-type tricks on an unsuspecting guy who has come calling on their mother. Lindsey and Kevin are under the mistaken impression that their parents will get back together, so any potential boyfriend for mum is given the treatment.
Against his better judgement, Nick does become friends with Suzanne after rescuing her on a rainy night when her car breaks down and Lindsey and Kevin instantly consider him the enemy. When Suzanne has to go to Vancouver for a job and her ex pulls out of his promise to baby-sit, reckless Nick, hoping to score some big points, offers to follow her to Vancouver with the kids.

Super EVIL kids. Setting up extremely bad examples for kids

Cheesy feel-good family comedy with enough slapstick to break up the sentimentality. Needless to say the kids liked it more than we did...

entertaining enough but my children and I were amazed at how cheeky and badly behaved the kids were in the name of comedy!

We loved this! I have not laughed so much for ages. Ice Cube is great as the tough guy who hates kids but turns out to be a big softy.

The family like this but the laughs were obviously aimed at the younger members of the audience. They loved it and are looking forward to the sequel.

Nasty movie, certainly don't let the kids watch this if they have any tendancy to 'act up', 'cause they'll learn a whole new bag of tricks...

A typical Hollywood movie with predictable outcomes for families and children who want a few laughs. Not for my viewing list though.
Jim T.
says
I did not like this movie and terminated it after 15 minutes.There are enough brats in OZ without watching African/American ones too.

Story pretty shallow and humor on low niveau, but really funny. If you've seen the trailer, you know what to expect.
Paul G.
says
Predictable storyline but still had me laughing, great movie for all the family, some very funny moments throughout.
Daniel A.
says
A typical movie where all the best laughs were in the trailer. It tried but I'm afraid that it failed and this audience was left flat.
Dorothy L.
says
Thoroughly enjoyable movie, watched by all the family.

Not really a younger kids movie, unless you can spend time explaining what's going on and why the kids are acting so awful, (not to speak of not being very good actors). It's a sweet story.
