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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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?

    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.

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

    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.

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

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

    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.

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

    It was a little bit better then what critics say but not much. The cast was ok, There were a few humerous scenes in it but it was a pretty generic family comedy overall. It wasnt bad but I dont think I would recommend it.… Full Review »

    There were a few funny parts in this film but it was just so boring and lacked interest to make you wanna sit through it. Acting was average at best. Its a rather corny as well, Too much of a generic family comedy.… Full Review »

    Are We There Yet already felt like a low budget, bad acting mess, but this is an awful lot worse and there is little reason to watch this lame sequel.
