A child-hating bachelor encounters two insufferable brats in this amiable comedy from Jingle All the Way director Brian Levant. A family-friendly mix of sassy dialogue, slapstick and sight gags, it combines the manic road-trip style of Planes, Trains and Automobiles with the adult-baiting laughs of Home Alone. Cast against type, Ice Cube plays a love-struck singleton who's desperately trying to woo attractive divorcee Nia Long. But when he offers to transport her two monstrous children to see her on a business trip, everything that could go wrong invariably does. The eye-watering clashes and cartoon-style violence that ensue are enjoyable, with Cube's dead-pan reactions particularly amusing. But the film founders when it becomes overly sentimental, which sits awkwardly with what's gone before. The youngsters are also too obnoxious to be engaging, and passing off their outrageous behaviour as a product of paternal neglect is hard to swallow.

Crude, violent and unfunny slapstick featuring the most obnoxious children imaginable, the tiredest gags and a talking doll making unneccessary comments on the action.

[Highly rated reviewer]
superb.........
this dvd is superb, and my children really enjoyed it.
Nick has an upper scale sports collectible store and a brand-new Lincoln Navigator, when he is smitten by the sight of Suzanne Kingston.
The bad news is that she is a single mum with a pair of terror kids, called Lindsay and Kevin, who have been taking care of all of their mum's would-be boyfriends.
They are waiting for their mum to make up with their dad.
Nick wants nothing to do with children, but he and Suzanne become friends and when she has to go to Vancouver for work and her ex-husband backs out on having the kids for New Year, he ends up agreeing to transport the kids and here is where the madness begins.
well worth renting out. -

Straight Outta... Well, The Toilet
I am a reasonable enough person to accept the good in almost any movie, especially when I am not the target audience. However, watching this with my also non-entertained 11 year old nephew, there was no disgusing it; this movie was complete rubbish.
And then there is Ice Cube. In a family comedy. This is the man that told us to f**k the police, who told us life ain't nothing but b*tches and money... well, I guess the second part speaks loud and clear to Ice.
Are We There Yet is not a fun movie. Its excruciating for accompanying adults, and if you are thinking of renting this just to keep the kids quiet for an hour and a half, you're going to be sorely disappointed.
And Ice Cube... for shame. -
