Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Dr_Sagan Surprisingly enough this movie was a box office hit and many local TV channels are considering this as a ...Xmas movie and they put in their program once a year.The script is ludicrous and annoying. A guy who likes a hot (if you count Nia Long as such) mother of 2, in order to make her to like him pretends to be a caring friend and takes her kids to a roadtrip to Vancouver.Every scene is annoying (yes I know that I used the word too many times).It has a cartoon-ish feel. Like you are watching looney toons. By all means this is NOT a family movie and certainly not a Xmas one.Overall: Some people are consider this a seasonal movie but believe you me isn't. Avoid it.
Python Hyena Are We There Yet? (2005): Dir: Brian Levant / Cast: Ice Cube, Nia Long, Jay Mohr, M.C. Gainey: Voice: Tracy Morgan: Mean spirited road comedy that seems to suggest maturity although one must wonder where that theme plays into the screenplay. Ice Cube hates kids but agrees to trek two to Vancouver at the request of their mother when her ex-husband bails out. Typical setup leads to many cruel misadventures where Cube is at the mercy of these two kids who pull stunts that are downright pathetic not funny. It is difficult to laugh when Cube is trying to do the right thing while two kids become responsible for acts that should land them in a youth detention centre. Directed by Brian Levant who does his best but this is no better than previous junk he made such as The Flintstones and Jingle all the Way. Cube is at the mercy of stupidity particularly when forced to fight what appears to be a stuffed deer. Nia Long is a prop as their mother who will ultimately become Cube's romantic interest. The two kids overact hideously. Jay Mohr and M.C. Gainey also appear for whatever it is worth. Tracy Morgan avoids being seen in this garbage but he can he heard as the voice of a bobblehead that seems to communicate to Cube's psyche. Theme of parental separation is damaged due too idiocy. It is a standard road comedy without any effective humour or sense of worth. This film should be backed over with the car. Score: 2 / 10
willcundallreview Rating-3/10Are We There Yet is a comedy travel movie that hits the mark, the mark being at bad that is. The movie has little humour and therefore very few laughs and it seems just overly slapstick. I think the jokes also are the main reason this fails as a piece and although some parts give it a good go, in the end the negativity surrounding this is all about the comedy.The plot feels so overlong and drawn out, the thing is the movie is only about 95 minutes long yet it feels like a marathon after a while, just little substance and not enough to do for the characters involved. I think yet again the jokes suffer from the lack of plot involved here, the physical jokes can work but then there are too many and after a while you just feel this is some kind of movie only made for the kids and kids only.Ice Cube is the main man of the movie and he is OK, he does I guess what he supposed to do but still the character of Nick is never fully explored and feels left out. Nia Long as Suzanne is OK too but yet again feels unexplored and she appears at the worst of times in the movie, the film is not timed out very well. The kids here Lindsay(Aleisha Allen) and Kevin(Phillip Daniel Bolden) are so mean, and not in a movie like this kind of way, they just seem too brutal and really really annoying, they hardly even redeem themselves.The movie is not written or directed very well, the direction isn't the worst thing but never does anything to save the project, Brian Levant should have done better. A lot of the weak jokes derive from the directing and Levant seems to fail summoning any of his past work(which are very physically humour leaning) and making it good. The script as mentioned is not well and it feels almost too silly even if it is blatantly based at children.The movie does have a little bit of heart and it can feel just slightly actually sweet, this only happens in parts and to be the fair the characters make it hard for the heart to come through, but done a little better and this could have been emotional. I think yet again the humour drowns out the emotion, when you truly feel the characters connect in a good way, some stupid thing happens and it all gets ruined, again!I think in conclusion about the laughter, the jokes are crass and under made, they feel half thought out and to predictable and seen before or to be funny or near original. I think also with the characters when they are meant to be evolving into this nicer and better person, they stay bad, I won't try to ruin the plot but in the end you'll see exactly what I mean, just no audience or character connection.The movie overall is a reminder of movies made to offend the senses and make only those who laugh at literally anything, well laugh. It feels immature, lazy and done before and although it isn't as awful as maybe movies that literally just seem constantly offensive to the sense, this certainly packs a bitter punch with the jokes too.
Filvies144 This was a really lousy and unfunny movie. It may sound funny, but it's not. They didn't put any heart into their humor. They were just trying to be funny! Like for example, a kid throws up in the car. Also, it was pretty boring in the beginning and it dose'nt get much better. There were only 1 or 2 funny parts, but that's about it. Home alone is much, much, much, much, much, much, better than this lame piece of garbage! I like the 4.5/10 it has. That might change soon. There are many names to call this. Heartless, fail, Lack of humor, lame, etc. So overall, this film was a flop. The sequel wasn't any better than this. I wasted $1 on this. That's all, I give this a 3.5/10-3/10.
