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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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?
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips
Calling a sequel Are We Done Yet? is like calling it "Enough Already."
Read Full Review >TV Guide Ken Fox
The film desperately needs a stronger script; one with a few funny jokes would be nice.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader J.R. Jones
Director Steve Carr continues his streak of numbingly mediocre family comedies.
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Stephen Cole
If all this sounds familiar, it should. Fathers seldom fare very well in family comedies.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten
Nothing is very funny in this movie, and everything is predictable.
Read Full Review >Empire Staff (Not credited)
Even John C McGinley (Dr. Cox from Scrubs) can't save this lamest of comedies.

[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.
