Are We There Yet? movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Worse than the crude humor is the movie's forced sentiment. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: Are We There Yet? won't make your day, but it won't kill it either. Read more
Ted Fry, Seattle Times: The kids finally soften Cube's heart (and vice versa), get Mom to see past his scowl and into his kind heart, and become a wholesome unit that makes this a distastefully fit and formulaic family film. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: Shows children behaving in ways that go right to the edge of absolute evil, and who are snotty and charmless besides. At the same time, the movie demands that we should feel warm toward those kids after all. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: These kids are going after perfectly innocent nice adults. They are some of the nastiest children in movie history. Read more
Jon Waterhouse, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Feels more like 'Is It Over Yet?' Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: If your requirements for good comedy begin and end with a swift kick to the groin, Are We There Yet? is the movie for you. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: This gnarly and illogical little sitcom is bound to make any adult reconsider that next outing with the kids. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: Its star Ice Cube remains characteristically amiable, but this thuddingly miscalculated comedy is way beneath him. Read more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: Ice Cube is an essentially soft-screen presence despite the assumed belligerence of his shtick. His knotted scowl hides a mushy middle of basic human decency. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: How much sweeter Nick's heart-to-heart with Lindsey and Kevin would be if the movie was more than a cliched journey. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Will the audience follow Ice Cube on this road trip to benign banality? Here's hoping he books a nonstop return ticket. Read more
Leah McLaren, Globe and Mail: Uh oh, pull over, I think I'm gonna be car sick. Read more
Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News: The strength of Ice Cube's performance is his willingness to show vulnerability. When he says he doesn't like kids, he means it. But when he cares, you feel it. Read more
Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly: Surely 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. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: Why can't anyone in Hollywood find something more worthy for the lovely, talented Nia Long to do besides play a simpering single mom? This isn't the first time I've asked such a question, and I'm sure it won't be the last. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: Delivers on some pretty basic childhood fantasies -- chiefly, kids seeing themselves in control, and watching adults in comical pain. And it does it too quickly and competently for their grown-up chaperones to mind much. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: Are we laughing yet? Read more
Dana Stevens, New York Times: The always charismatic Ice Cube makes Are We There Yet? watchable, but his young charges are such insufferable brats that the hero's change of heart remains a mystery. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Ice Cube has let so many of his hard edges melt off that he can't even manage a decent tantrum here. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: I 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. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: The gags seem pretty lame even by the standards assiduously applied by most 8-year-olds. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Cube plays his part gamely, but the the film works against him. Read more
Susan Walker, Toronto Star: Never quite arrives, and perhaps at a cost to Ice Cube's career. Read more
Scott Foundas, Variety: A joyless road-trip comedy that's about as pleasant as a bad case of car sickness. Read more
Mark Holcomb, Village Voice: Lacks the courage of its grape-juice-, mud-, and vomit-spattered convictions. Read more
Teresa Wiltz, Washington Post: We've got stereotypes-a-go-go: Raging redneck truckers. Accented Asians. Country bumpkins. Black fathers missing in action. The humor's a tad too raunchy for the kids, and the predictable plot won't win over any of the parents. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: Phony and formulaic from start to finish, the movie may make some viewers feel as if they're trapped in a car themselves with a driver who won't pull over. Read more
