Are We Done Yet? (2007)

I wasn't amused by the first film "Are We There Yet", I thought that it wasn't funny and I find Ice Cube to be pretty awful in comedic roles. I decided nonetheless to at least say I finished the franchise by reviewing the sequel "Are We Done Yet", one of the most repetitive slapstick bull movies I've ever seen that is filled with borrowing jokes and overusing them. Our disgruntled sports fan and stepfather Nick Parsons returns to buy a house that needs some fixing, resulting in simply hilarious slapstick scenarios where tough guy Ice Cube falls down or does something stupid or childish. To make matters worse both for Nick and for the audience, John C. McGinley steps in as Chuck, the small quaint town's real estate agent, inspector, construction worker, etc., also this wacky guru like comedic element that really overuses his bland and frankly embarrassingly dumb personality. The plot is poor, boring for a kids film and unfunny - it also "borrows" heavily from the 1986 Tom Hanks' film "The Money Pit". The humor is predictable and unfunny, Ice Cube can't do much as a comedic actor, he's just grumpy most of the time. Our previous main characters from the first film, Nick's stepchildren, have little to no importance and are rarely seen to make more time for wacky Chuck. AWDY's main problem is that it's not appealing to kids or adults, it's troubled in every aspect. What a disaster.P.S. Answering to "bobyvsamos" comment that says this atrocious film was great, your name is a portmanteau of Bob Saget and John Stamos, go watch "Full House" instead of this abomination. Or you're limited to only watch black sitcoms?

I have seen Are We There Yet? which has a good flow, and was funny, which did not was, in the whole movie, i laughed ónce, the intro text was more funny than the whole movie.There where too many stupid characters, and too many comic of falling ting, which were to predicting.And Chuck? He don't seems to fit in the plot, also there were to many thing there need to be repaired, and chuck seem to cheater, to be villain, an crock, but there seem to be no, no at all refunding or whatever to reestablish fairness.This movie was almost all predictable slapstick jokes, sow was there annoying laughing by family members, and chuck which makes the whole movie annoying.This movies should never have been made.

I have given this movie a ten out of ten. This is not because its a ten let me say that right now. However as I have said in my summary, the film does not deserve the rating it has, so in respect I hope to raise that 2.8 to at least a 6.0.There are no tedious parts to this movie considering the genre! it was not too slapstick and made me laugh more than a few times. Its defiantly a family movie. The acting is pretty well rounded, there is some good stuff from John. C. McGinely he played an obviously big part of this movie. I honestly didn't realise who he was, that is to say I forgot where I had seen him before, i.e one of the characters of Scrubs. I suppose that the performance from Ice Cube (O'Shea Jackson) is by no mean top notch but he pulls it off! Seriously give it a go, I'm confident you will enjoy this movie, and I'm disappointed that it has a 2.8 as this could have put me off watching it, totally undeserved if you ask me. ******

I admit, I didn't see this film in the theater. I caught the first one (Are We There Yet) on cable and disliked it enough that I refused to see the sequel. However, flipping through the channels one day, I caught a couple of scenes of "Are We Done Yet" and frankly, I found myself laughing more than once. It was surprisingly enjoyable. John McGinley was brilliant, Ice Cube made me chuckle every time something went wrong. He was so likable even when he was the most frustrated. It was a lighthearted family film, that given the chance, rendered some bonafide giggles. This movie didn't deserve a 2.8. I'd easily give it a 6.
