Very disappointing...
Truly Dreadful Film
It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
There are 3 lead characters in this film, contrary to other reviewer's erroneous statements that there are 2. Ice Cube's exasperated father-to be, John C. McGinley's multi-tasking entrepreneur and the actual house itself. There is an underlying theme here; the love-hate triangle which develops between the home-owner, the contractor and the house. The home-owner begins to despise his property, while the contractor has a vision of what the property can mean to a family. As the film moves on the house changes from an ugly duckling into a beautiful home, paralleling the transformation of the home-owner's relationship with his family and would-be friends. I know people dislike this film, but I happened to enjoy it. It's a rare occasion of a sequel being better than the original. The first film was awful.
All through the movie, I was asking "is this movie done yet?" It was a rather entertaining movie for awhile, but then the plot wilts and events occur "just 'cause." The Chuck Mitchell character (played by John McGinley from Scrubs) is entertaining until he leaves Nick's (Ice Cube) "project." The false drama created when Nick finds out Chuck's wife is dead (not on tour in China?) was terrible and highly unrealistic. The special effects are another thing. They look like something out of a Bugs Bunny movie. The kids' acting surprised me a bit, but they weren't better than in the first film. I don't think this movie is worth your time.
I have seen Are We There Yet? which has a good flow, and was funny, which did not was, in the whole movie, i laughed ónce, the intro text was more funny than the whole movie.There where too many stupid characters, and too many comic of falling ting, which were to predicting.And Chuck? He don't seems to fit in the plot, also there were to many thing there need to be repaired, and chuck seem to cheater, to be villain, an crock, but there seem to be no, no at all refunding or whatever to reestablish fairness.This movie was almost all predictable slapstick jokes, sow was there annoying laughing by family members, and chuck which makes the whole movie annoying.This movies should never have been made.
What a Shocker, the film should have been renamed Can i go home yet because i wanted to from 10 minutes in.I have never been so bored watching a film, it was almost painful to watch, lets see where it all went wrong.Are we there yet, This was hilarious and this was due to a couple of key areas. 1) The story revolved around the kids and they made all the moments of laughter. 2) The Beloved Car 3) Satchel Paige sitting on the car dashboard.Now lets see where "Are we Done yet" went wrong.The kids were hardly in the movie compared to the original, The car was hardly seen and Satch was not even in the movie. Add to that the most annoying character in the history of cinema played by John C. McGinley and we have a turkey of a movie roasting to perfection. It breaks my heart to say this as i have seen, Are we there yet like 20 times and it still has me in fits of laughter, my 2 year old nephew wants to always watch it and i am more than happy to. They should have called this Home Improvement as the whole story revolved around McGinley's character. it was also embarrassing the way the movie tried to cling to successful scenes from the original movie, Aleisha Allen singing and the scene with the rabid Deer.In conclusion i am sorry to say that this film is another poor excuse this summer on a bandwagon of shocking Sequels.
