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.

75
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.

58
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.

50
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.

50
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Obvious, but at least it's clean.

50
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.

50
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.

50
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?

40
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.

40
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.

40
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.

38
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Been-there-seen-that wannabe laughfest.

38
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Calling a sequel Are We Done Yet? is like calling it "Enough Already."

38
TV Guide
Ken Fox
The film desperately needs a stronger script; one with a few funny jokes would be nice.

38
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The movie needs Richard Dreyfuss .

30
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.

30
Chicago Reader
J.R. Jones
Director Steve Carr continues his streak of numbingly mediocre family comedies.

25
Entertainment Weekly
Gregory Kirschling
Atrocious sequel.

25
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Stephen Cole
If all this sounds familiar, it should. Fathers seldom fare very well in family comedies.

20
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Nothing is very funny in this movie, and everything is predictable.

20
Empire
Staff (Not credited)
Even John C McGinley (Dr. Cox from Scrubs) can't save this lamest of comedies.
