stormhawk2018 I wasn't amused by the first film "Are We There Yet", I thought that it wasn't funny and I find Ice Cube to be pretty awful in comedic roles. I decided nonetheless to at least say I finished the franchise by reviewing the sequel "Are We Done Yet", one of the most repetitive slapstick bull movies I've ever seen that is filled with borrowing jokes and overusing them. Our disgruntled sports fan and stepfather Nick Parsons returns to buy a house that needs some fixing, resulting in simply hilarious slapstick scenarios where tough guy Ice Cube falls down or does something stupid or childish. To make matters worse both for Nick and for the audience, John C. McGinley steps in as Chuck, the small quaint town's real estate agent, inspector, construction worker, etc., also this wacky guru like comedic element that really overuses his bland and frankly embarrassingly dumb personality. The plot is poor, boring for a kids film and unfunny - it also "borrows" heavily from the 1986 Tom Hanks' film "The Money Pit". The humor is predictable and unfunny, Ice Cube can't do much as a comedic actor, he's just grumpy most of the time. Our previous main characters from the first film, Nick's stepchildren, have little to no importance and are rarely seen to make more time for wacky Chuck. AWDY's main problem is that it's not appealing to kids or adults, it's troubled in every aspect. What a disaster.P.S. Answering to "bobyvsamos" comment that says this atrocious film was great, your name is a portmanteau of Bob Saget and John Stamos, go watch "Full House" instead of this abomination. Or you're limited to only watch black sitcoms?

Neddy Merrill Ice Cube (maybe time to drop that moniker) stray a long way from Compton in this inoffensive suburban family comedy that borrows liberally from the Tom Hanks / Shelly Long stinker "Money Pit". Note to the various credited screenwriters, if you are going to crib pick a decent film to do it from. Anyway, our sports-obsessed step-dad hero tangles with one of the more frightening friendly characters in a light comedy played by the distracting-ly athletic John C. McGinley. McGinley's character controls the local real estate market, government and contractors effectively seizing control of Cube's life, breaking up his marriage, imprisoning him, delivering his baby and reuniting his family but on his terms. Take out the half-hearted pratfalls by Cube and his low wattage comic meltdowns and you have yourself an eerie stalker flick. Maybe one of the writers threw in a little "Single White Female" as well. In short, the movie does follow a familiar arc and there's just enough goofiness to avoid being really awful.

sehalusekuschool John C. McGlinley stole the show. The tag for the movie should be "an emotionally disturbed contractor, still mourning the loss of a loved one, is helped by a young family whose house he renovates." Ice Cube is the straight man here. I felt like it was false advertising.Overall, the movie was an enjoyable Hollywood flick. But my other issue was Nia Long's pregnancy. The time line was all wrong. The whole movie looked like it took place over one or two months. So how was she delivering at the end? I liked it for what it was, but it wasn't what it could have been. My kids loved it, however. They've watched it several times. Funny moments, but they all belong to McGlinley.

pastorkevin52 I am a big Fan of Ice Cube. He has done some funny movies in the past. But this movie was worst than RV with Robin Williams, or Father of The Bride. In reality this movie should have had a minus five stars. I was getting tired with the beginning credits that went on for almost 5 minutes. Then it was hard to believe that Nick would move his family into a house that was smaller than their house in the first movie. Nick was at least a well meaning and resourceful guy in the first movie, but in this one he comes off looking being the biggest loser, while Chuck on the other hand was "Mr. I can do everything, including being a mid-wife!" That is where the absurdity really kicks in. I was waiting for Nia Longs character (Suzanne) to stop acting so blonde, and get on Nicks side at some point. But When she flashed him a dirty look about getting rid of Nick and just rolled over and went to sleep, I was ready to go and get a refund on this movie. And then I almost lost it when there is a birthing class that Chuck and Suzanne have set up. Hmmm! It seems like she's bonding with Chuck more than her husband. Wow and can you believe it when Nick walks in on it, flips out and chases the guy off the property? This is not even a black comedy. I like the idea of Ice Cubes character trying to be successful as a writer of a magazine, but when he winds up being such a joke that the dog doesn't want to be around him, then don't come talking to me about a sequel. Comedy should have a realistic plot, peppered with funny moments. And stop giving us the predictable plots where all fathers are a joke, the wives act like teenagers, and worse of all the black family is completely white washed.
