Summary

RATING: PG for some innuendos and brief language

Starring Ice Cube, Ice Cube, John C. McGinley, Aleisha Allen, Philip Bolden, Dan Joffre, and Alexander Kalugin

This follow-up to the 2005 family comedy "Are We There Yet" picks up where the last story left off. Now married to Suzanne (Long), Nick Persons (Ice Cube) has bought a quiet suburban house to escape the rat race of the big city and to provide more space for his new wife and kids. But where his new home quickly becomes a costly "fixer upper" and he finds himself at the mercy of an eccentric contractor, Nick's suburban dream soon becomes a riotous nighmare. (Revolution Studios / Columbia Pictures)

The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin

It isn't gangsta, but it's winning all the same.

58

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker

The unchecked enthusiasm of McGinley as the touchy-feely renovation guru gives slow-burn Cube the perfect foil and mellows the malicious comic tone. The rest is pure slapstick.

Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach

There's a funny premise at the core of Are We Done Yet? Too bad the movie doesn't do much with it.

New York Post Lou Lumenick

While the latest installment avoids the nonstop parade of potty jokes, it never rises much past the level of mediocrity.

San Francisco Chronicle Peter Hartlaub

Obvious, but at least it's clean.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

After allowing sadistic violence and whining children to invade his movie like a horde of termites, Carr tries to put one over on us by tacking on a sentimental ending. But as any homeowner could have told him, you can't disguise a weak foundation with a cheap finish.

The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen

Tpicture delivers the requisite number of pratfalls, and the genial Ice Cube makes for a credibly hapless everyman, but the comedy still feels a little too safely soft around the edges.

Los Angeles Times Sam Adams

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?

The New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis

An ill-advised sequel to "Are We There Yet?" and a feeble fable of better parenting through home improvement.

Village Voice Scott Foundas

Fans of the first film can rest assured that a change in the director's chair has done little to curb the overall tone of slapstick desperation.

Variety John Anderson

Supposedly based on "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House," but has about as much to do with that frothy Cary Grant confection as a Yugo has to do with a 1948 Buick Roadster.

USA Today Claudia Puig

Been-there-seen-that wannabe laughfest.

Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips

Calling a sequel Are We Done Yet? is like calling it "Enough Already."

TV Guide Ken Fox

The film desperately needs a stronger script; one with a few funny jokes would be nice.

Boston Globe Wesley Morris

The movie needs Richard Dreyfuss .

Washington Post Ann Hornaday

John C. McGinley from "Scrubs" gets to strut some of his comic stuff as the deranged builder, but he's the only passable feature in a property that should be condemned.

Chicago Reader J.R. Jones

Director Steve Carr continues his streak of numbingly mediocre family comedies.

Entertainment Weekly Gregory Kirschling

Atrocious sequel.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Stephen Cole

If all this sounds familiar, it should. Fathers seldom fare very well in family comedies.

Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten

Nothing is very funny in this movie, and everything is predictable.

Empire Staff (Not credited)

Even John C McGinley (Dr. Cox from Scrubs) can't save this lamest of comedies.

i don't know why i went to see this i just wanted to watch a fun family comedy. this in a way was more of a horror as it was horrifically bad

[Anonymous] gave it a0:
The movie asks a good question about its genre. The question is asked in the films title.

Randy S. gave it a0:
Are We There Yet was a lot of fun for my whole family. This film was horrible. We couldn't wait for it to end.

Chris H. gave it a2:
This movie has a well thought out story line, but over all it's just not funny. Maybe it would be for about a 5-10 year old. Very immature humor.
