Are We There Yet?:
Nick Persons (Ice Cube) is the affable owner of a sports memorabilia store and a
shiny new 4WD, which is his pride and joy. He has also just spied something else
he likes very much â sexy divorcee, Suzanne Kingston (Nia Long) who runs an
event management service just across the street, but as he makes a beeline for
her, he freezes when he notices that Suzanne comes with two attachments â
kids. Nick doesnât like kids and these two, Lindsey and Kevin (Aleisha Allen
and Philip Bolden) are first-rate brats whom we have already seen pulling some
tortuous Home Alone-type tricks on an unsuspecting guy who has come calling on
their mother. Lindsey and Kevin are under the mistaken impression that their
parents will get back together, so any potential boyfriend for mum is given the
treatment. Against his better judgement, Nick does become friends with Suzanne
after rescuing her on a rainy night when her car breaks down and Lindsey and
Kevin instantly consider him the enemy. When Suzanne has to go to Vancouver for
a job and her ex pulls out of his promise to baby-sit, reckless Nick, hoping to
score some big points, offers to follow her to Vancouver with the kids.
Are We Done Yet?:
This sequel to 2005âs Are We There Yet? finds Nick Pearsons (Ice Cube) now
married to Suzanne (Nia Long) and having bought a quiet suburban house to escape
the rat race of the big city and to provide more space for his wife and kids,
Lindsey and Kevin (Aleisha Allen and Philip Bolden). But when his new home
quickly becomes a costly âfixer upperâ and he finds himself at the mercy of
an eccentric contractor (John C McGinley), Nickâs suburban dream soon becomes
a riotous nightmare.
