Storyline

The RIDE ALONG 2 sequel picks up about a year after our heroes' last adventure. Plans for a quick trip to Miami go bad. With the wedding upcoming, James reluctantly takes Ben with him to Miami to follow up on a lead connected to a drug ring case he's been trying to crack. In Miami, they meet Maya, a no-BS homicide detective who lets them know Miami is her turf. They also encounter AJ, a shady cocky computer hacker who reveals evidence that implicates a well-respected local businessman, the wealthy Antonio Pope. Pope harbors a vicious streak and rules South Florida's drug trade. If Ben and James can convince the authorities that Pope is a brutal crime boss they'll stop his spree. If they fail, well there may not be a wedding after all. Written by DeAlan Wilson www.ComedyE.com

Goofs

When Port Commissioner Griffin receives the call from Antonio Pope at the beginning of the film; the time on his wall clock in his office is 9:20. A short time later when he drops his phone, the time on the phone is reading as 1:44pm. Also, when we see Griffin's phone lying on the floor, the call duration is frozen at 0.36 - as Griffin never disconnected the call from Pope, the call duration should be continuing to count up. Note - even if Griffin had stopped/disconnected the call (which he didn't), the actual call duration should be around 0:51 seconds. This could be irrelevant anyway as Pope was showing as a 'Blocked Caller' (as shown on Griffin's phone), Therefore it is likely that the call would never have gone through in the first place.... more than likely, the call should have shown as 'Unknown Caller/ID' - and not as 'Blocked'.

User Reviews

 
OK Buddy cop movie, more superficial action than good comedy.
15 January 2016 | by subxerogravitySee all my reviews

Ice Cube and Kevin Hart return to milk their chemistry from the first Ride Along in the sequel to a movie that was just alright.

This time around Kevin Hart's charter, Ben is a full fledged police officer (in training), who tags along with his future brother-in-law James from Atlanta to Miami to question a suspect.

Though Kevin Hart seems more outrageous in this film as he gets down with some serious slapstick, he is not as funny as he could be. This is a huge problem for Ice Cube's perfect straight man persona who has no real material to bounce off of.

It's even sadder that they have Ken Jeong in the picture and did nothing with it. You'd expect some real good laughs when Jeong and Hart get together in a scene but it did not happen like that.

New characters played by Oliva Munn and Benjamin Bratt were good seasoning on the franchise, but I could still taste the staleness.

It's not a bad movie, it's a decent buddy cop movie with a lot of action, but I was not expecting Lethal Weapon, I was expecting 48 hours and got neither.
