“Long distance driving, constant headaches, groaning and claustrophobia. Then, that tedious question arises…Are we there yet? But in the new flick, Are we there yet?, that question takes a new meaning.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThrough a series of worst-case scenarios from deer attacks to a train race on horseback, Nick Persons (Ice Cube, Barbershop) experiences it all.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBeginning a timid romance between Persons and Suzanne Kingston (Nia Long, Boiler Room), possible babysitters for her children while sheu0026#39;s away becomes few and far between, leaving Persons, a child-hater as the only viable option. He must transport Kingstonu0026#39;s two u0026quot;angelicu0026quot; children 350 miles from Oregon to Vancouver. They attempt to make it in 24 hours by plane, train and automobile.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDirected by Brian Levant, director of Snow Dogs (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) and Jingle All The Way (Arnold Schwarzenegger), he defines his love for making family-fun movies.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor what it was worth, the acting was decent. Ice Cube played a better role than I expected. Aleisha Allen (School of Rock) and Philip Bolden (Johnson Family Vacation) were well-cast. And the cherry on top of the acting was Jay Mohr (Pay It Forward, Jerry Maguire). The way the actors worked together accented the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCinematography in this movie was exactly what I expected. There were a few intriguing camera angles, better than Iu0026#39;ve seen from directors of Levantu0026#39;s credibility.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe rating was well chosen as PG. There was minor language and rude humor.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNoticing half of the theater filled with children ranging from five to twelve, and tons of parents, Iu0026#39;d definitely suggest staying away from this movie on a date. There were periodic jokes and entertaining scenes, but if you donu0026#39;t like u0026quot;kiddyu0026quot; movies, I would not encourage this.”
