Are We There Yet? pits Ice Cube as a bumbling dad of sorts who deals with mischievous kids - it's like a modern "Home Alone" but without criminals, and also the fact that it's bad. In this case, the hard type formula in charge of naughty children ("The Pacifier", "Daddy Day Care") is used again. If before the protagonists were Vin Diesel or Arnold Schwarzenegger, now the tough man is Ice Cube, the rapper of rough letters that now declares "I wanna be like Eddie Murphy."If already the starting point is not very promising, in the hands of Brian Levant ("Problem Child 2", "The Flintstones", "Beethoven, etc.), vulgarity arrives To unbearable extremes. It's a series of repetitive grown men falling down scenes and all sorts of bland old hi-jinks. Ice Cube is dating a woman with two mischievous kids, as she asks him to drive them to Vancouver in Canada to see her at a business trip. Ice Cube must deal with the kids treating him as "the enemy", pulling slapstick pranks here and there, forgiving them in the end, and making the once controversial rapper succumb to family films. AWTY? is repetitive and weak. Family films of the 2000s are particularly bad, although AWTY? is at least entertaining. Seeing this movie can be worse if we do not transmute our mind to that of a 7 year old. Funny, but unprecedented. I, in the case of the protagonist, had committed a murder. But I have nothing to worry about is pure fantasy.

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.

I actually enjoyed this movie when I was growing up and thought it deserved a 10. I liked some of the comedy, but the movie can be corny at time to be honest. It is good for children to watch, but an adult may not enjoy it. It is not utterly horrible like many of the other reviews say, it has it's good points and flaws like most other movies, but it is nothing special, or awful to me, just there really. It is something a person might watch if they get bored or nothing else is on. I liked it, because it has some family values despite all of it's silliness, and few sweet tender moments. I may recommend this film to Kids under the age of 12, because by then You will have outgrown it.

One night I sit down to watch a movie with my siblings ( ages 8-14, myself being 18). Normally I enjoy kids movies because they're filled with uplifting, funny, cute moments and my siblings love it. So I decided hey, why not this one? Well.... I found that the humor was crass at best, if not downright stupid. It was completely filled with moments that tried to be comical or clever but consistently fell flat. I was extremely disappointed. In fact I'm actually so disappointed that I started writing this review in the middle of the movie. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse there is a projectile vomiting scene that I can only guess is supposed to make me laugh? Followed by a deer beating someone up... Really? Oh then of course the car has to blow up. In closing, do yourself a favor and don't watch this movie. I might add that none of us liked this movie, I didn't and not even the 8 year old enjoyed it. Just don't.
