50I would have loved to see a genuine love story involving Ice Cube, Nia Long, and the challenge of a lifelong bachelor dating a woman with children. Sad that a story like that couldn't get made, but this shrill "comedy" could.
-
50Won't make your day, but it won't kill it either.
-
50Cube is cute and Long is lovely, but the youngsters are too brash and smug to bear. At least there's a heartwarming end to the excursion.
-
50This is not the plot of your typical Ice Cube movie. It does, however, combine the plots of at least three John Hughes movies.
-
50It's been a while since we saw a bad John Hughes comedy, and Are We There Yet? more than fits the bill (even though Hughes had absolutely nothing to do with it).
-
40All the excessive slapstick and juvenile antics keep the audience from making any kind of connection with the characters and prevents Are We There Yet? from being anything more than another disposable January release.
-
40I can't recall ever having seen a single bad Ice Cube performance, and his utter charm even in flimsy material like this only reaffirms his gifts.
-
40Surely the only thing more excruciating than being trapped in a car with a bratty child is having to sit through a road-trip movie that features two of them.
-
40Levant and his screenwriting posse attempt to wring maximum hilarity from this setup, but it's just too schizoid.
-
It's all a big, boring failure of slapstick and degradation. Of course, that's not to say your kids won't like it.
-
The always charismatic Ice Cube makes Are We There Yet? watchable.
-
40Are We There Yet? traps the affable Ice Cube in a dismal kiddy slapstick saga that even his considerable charisma can do little to enhance.
-
40Ice Cube tries his hand at family comedy in this phony story.
-
38Not worth the ride.
-
30Runs 96 minutes but feels like so much more. There is only one gag.
-
30Have we such short memories that we have already forgotten last year's feeble "Johnson Family Vacation?"
-
30Gets nowhere. Its star Ice Cube remains characteristically amiable, but this thuddingly miscalculated comedy is way beneath him.
-
30I started out this journey actually liking children. By the end of the movie, I wasn't so sure.
-
The humor's a tad too raunchy for the kids, and the predictable plot won't win over any of the parents.
-
25The affable Ice Cube is all that makes this forced, unfunny film watchable, and, frankly, it's hard watching him waste his efforts on a movie so woefully cynical.
-
25A vulgar, grating alleged "family" comedy.
-
25This gnarly and illogical little sitcom is bound to make any adult reconsider that next outing with the kids.
-
Uh oh, pull over, I think I'm gonna be carsick.
-
25Will have most audiences asking, "Can we leave now?"
-
25Sour slapstick assault with a tin heart and counterfeit sentimentality.
-
20Repetitive, predictable comedy.
-
0Four screenwriters are credited with this sloppy piece of work. Divide the embarrassment into quarters.
-
0All too effectively conveys the claustrophobic horror of being shackled in a small space with two whiny, hateful children.

6Was okay. Not the funniest movie I ever seen, but it's worth a watch (if you have a family).
