MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Adam Foidart I suppose it's worth noting that "Are We Done Yet?" is better than the first movie in the "series" (2005's "Are We There Yet?") but even then, there's not much of a reason to actively seek out and watch this film. As you might have expected from the end of the first picture, Nick Persons (Ice Cube, proving once again that he's not very attached to his tough guy attitude as long as he gets paid) has married Suzanne (Nia Long) and is now the stepfather to Kevin (Philip Daniel Bolden) and Lindsey (Aleisha Allen). For some unexplainable reasons, the entire family has moved into Nick's apartment instead of the house Suzanne and her children were living in the previous film and they have adopted a huge dog. Nick has also sold his sports collectibles store and is now following the dream he's had all along: publishing a sports magazine (Maybe that was in the director's cut). When Suzanne informs him that she's pregnant with twins, Nick decides that it's time to go. He leaves these leeches and never looks back! OK, that's not the case, unfortunately. Instead, they move to the country and buy a house that turns out to be a total piece of junk. Now the repairs required and the bills are piling up and it's making Nick increasingly frustrated, which is leading to the family being torn apart! On the positive side, the jokes in this film are less obvious and the children less annoying than they were in 2005. I guess you could also say that Nia Long has a bigger role and the overall plot is better (Which I attribute to this being based on the previously existing film "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House"). Nevertheless, the jokes here are still far from what I would call clever. Most of the comedy concerns Ice Cube getting angry at the repairs that are taking place, him getting hit in the head or falling over when he finds yet another spot that is badly rotted or needs to be patched up or him being bewildered to find that Chuck, his multi-talented neighbor (played by John C. McGinley) has yet another job. The story arc overall is pretty predictable, with the kids not wanting to go to the country because for Lindsey, there won't be any cute boys there (guess if she'll find at least one before the movie is over) and Kevin being scared of the outdoors (do you think he'll conquer that fear at some point?). We've also got the drama with the babies coming around and Suzanne being upset that Nick isn't there to support her because of the repairs (you'd think Nick would have learned his lesson with the first two demon children Suzanne gave birth to and learned to use some birth control). We've also got this running plot about Nick struggling with material for his dream magazine. You could say it's JAM PACKED! with stuff that's not very interesting.I guess "Are We Done Yet?" is harmless enough, but it's not really that funny unless you're really little, not really that dramatic or difficult to predict unless you've seen very few films and overall not that original. I liked it better than the first one for what it's worth, so if you thought "Are We There Yet?" was awesome, then you're going to love this.As a grown man cursed to always watch a film all the way to the end, no matter how much it doesn't appeal to me, I'll admit this was a breath a fresh air compared to stinkers such as "Dune" or "In the Name of the King" but I can't really recommend it, even as family entertainment. Unless you just loved the first one and are able to suspend your disbelief because of the fact that Suzanne had a huge house in that first film, then you'll eat this up like a bowl of ice cream covered with sprinkles. The reason for me not being able to recommend it is that these cheap family comedies are a dime a dozen and they don't really do anything for the family. They don't create lasting memories or contain memorable laughs, impactful lessons or anything that stimulating otherwise. Sure, it's harmless but that's not enough to make "Are We Done Yet?" legitimately good. (On DVD, July 26, 2014)

kai ringler first off this one made me laugh all the way through,, what could be more funny than these two things,, moving from the city to the country,, and from an apartment to a big azz house.. plus you got kids the dog and the wife, gf,, whatever,, ice cube knows how to make people laugh,, and Nia Long sure doesn't' hurt the eyes either,, overall i thought it wasn't as good as the first one,, but then again they rarely are these days,,, what makes this different is john c mcginley,, he's like the realtor,, the handyman,, all sorts of stuff,, it seems to me that for ice cube this was highly annoying like every time you turn around boom there he is in you're' face wearing a different hat,, first he tries to be helpful,, then he tries to stab you in the back,,

Dragoneyed363 Holy crap, I hope so, because I can't stand to watch another one of these horrible films. Let me start off with my grisly story of how I watched this film. I got it as a Christmas present from a family member. She said I knew I liked the first one, which she was wrong, so she went ahead and got me the sequel. I made a fake smile, and before I put it away for life, she suggested we watched it. My heart was pounding out of my chest, for I knew I could not escape! I hated the first one and even though I am willing to give any film a chance, I was not anywhere near excited.Well, we started it up, and pretty soon we were all sitting down watching it. Here's a clue as to what my families thoughts on it were: The family member apologized for buying it for me, my brother fell asleep, and my mom sat there with a disgusted look on her face. Even my eight year old cousin and five year old nephew did not laugh! I still can not believe that this is the filth that caused the wonderful movie Grindhouse to bomb, and I will hate this film until the very day I die for that, and I feel tremendously sorry for anyone who decides to watch it. It's just as poor as everything is in the first. Lame jokes, lame acting and lame plot.If another film is made I assume it will be titled, "We're Not Done Yet, Sorry".

ltlacey When will the entertainment industry learn to stop remaking successful (or even unsuccessful) classics? Can't anyone come up with something new or original, or even a decent twist to an already existing storyline? I think the whole Fish Out of Water concept did not work at all with this movie, what with the City Folks moving to the country and all the horrible things, like bats, there for some slapstick comedy to add some action to the movie. Note to whoever paid to have this movie made: It did not work. And the entire premise that a "smart" business person who obviously is spending a lot of money to buy a house on a large parcel of land would choose to not pay to have the house inspected, well, what can one say about this concept, other that it tells the audience that the rest of the movie is going to just get worse? Not that this movie was all that close to the original it was trying to copy, since the house was already built. The house just needed a lot of work to make it habitable, and thus our plot of the hapless and idiotic father who slams his thumb with a hammer, falls through roofs, has a run-in with electricity, and of course, the weird, but has a heart of gold, contractor. And then there is the scene where our main character is out showing his step-kids nature and they come across a deer. Everyone, including the deer, are scared and go running off, screaming the entire time. Same as the audience would be my guess.
