Are We There Yet? Movie

Yesterday I saw the movie “Are We There Yet?”, which starred: Ice Cube, Nia Long, Philip Bolden, Aleisha Allen and Henry Simmons.

The storyline involved the following: “Smooth-talking operator Nick Persons (Ice Cube) is trying to land a date with Suzanne Kingston (Nia Long), a young, attractive single mom. We know he's smooth from the moment he strides onto the screen, flashing his cocky smile, his blingage, and his playa' attitude. Although Nick has sworn to never date a woman with children, Suzanne is special. We know she's special because she gets Nick to stop his car in the rain for her. That's true love right there because Nick loves his car more than anything else. But when Suzanne, miserable on a business trip in Vancouver, wants her kids to visit her, Nick gamely offers to make her wish come true (and his own in the process) by driving the children himself from Oregon to Canada. What Nick doesn't know is that 7-year old Kevin (Philip Daniel Bolden) and his sister, 11-year old Lindsey (Aleisha Allen) think that no man is good enough for their mom and they will do everything they can to make the trip a nightmare for him. In spite of their best efforts to sabotage their journey, wreck Nick's car, and send him packing, both Lindsey and Kevin realize that Nick just may be the father they've been hoping for. And Nick realizes that maybe, just maybe, he could be a family man after all. But you saw that one coming, right?”

I would rate the movie a “B”, and it is the worth of an admission ticket, a medium popcorn and a medium soft drink. It was a fun movie to watch, and Ice Cube did a great acting job.
