Just as awful as the first

I normally don't rant about these type of films but this was just poor. I saw the first film "Are We There Yet?" that Columbia Pictures released last 2005 and it was received poorly for it's dodgy family entertainment, cheap jokes and horrible gags. This sequel is directed by Next Friday director Steve Carr which actually hints that it could be at least worth watching. Unfortunately it's the same routine as the first film with it's annoying slapstick comedy and painfully unfunny gags.

Ice Cube is just as poor along with Nia Long for doing a sequel anyway because he should have fired his agent for being in this movie. The little kids are still just as bratty and uncool for "antoganists" and the new characters don't give any good backup too. The story is predictable and the script is just as amazingly bad as well. Avoid this horrible film at all costs.

I'm pretty certain that if a third is made it will flop like a lead balloon.
