If, 18 years ago, you had told rapper Ice Cube he'd have a hit family movie called Are We There Yet?, he would have sneered in your face. Yet here he is with that movie's sequel, Are We Done Yet?, in which Nick Persons (Cube, Barbershop, Friday) takes his new wife Suzanne (Nia Long, Big Momma's House) and her two cantankerous kids out to an old house in the country. Unfortunately, the house proves to have a few problems, and Nick finds himself at the mercy of a real estate agent/contractor/house inspector/midwife Chuck (John C. McGinley, Scrubs), who before long is turning Nick's house--and his life--inside out. The script for Are We Done Yet? is based on an classic (though little remembered) Cary Grant movie, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. While Cube doesn't have Grant's comic skills, he has grown into a comfortable and charming screen presence, and he gives this ramshackle entertainment a decent foundation. But it's McGinley who steals the movie with his truly bizarre yet mesmerizing performance; aside from some pratfalls, Cube spends most of the movie staring in horror or astonishment at McGinley as the tall lanky white man walks a very fine line between comedy and schizophrenia. --Bret Fetzer

Product Description

Now married to Suzanne (Nia Long), Nick Persons (Ice Cube) buys a quiet suburban house to escape the rat race of the big city and to provide more space for his new wife and kids Lindsey and Kevin. But when his new home quickly becomes a costly "fixer upper" and he finds himself at the mercy of an eccentric contractor (John C. McGinley), Nick's suburban dream becomes a riotous nightmare.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ice Cube has done another funny movie, August 11, 2007

By	Lizwel "lover of arts" (Baton Rouge, LA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Are We Done Yet? (DVD)

I watched Are We There Yet?, and I loved it. I also loved Are We Done Yet? They are both good funny family movies. Although there is a lot of slapstick comedy in both movies, they're still good. In Are We There Yet? Nick (Ice Cube's character) meets and falls in love with Nia Long's character, despite the fact that she has two naughty little kids that he's not so pleased with in the beginning. In the sequel, AWDY, Ice Cube's and Nia Long's characters are married, expecting twins, and in the process of building their dream home when everything seems to go awry.
I give hats off to Ice Cube for bringing a decent family movie to the screen that can be watched by all kids.

2.0 out of 5 stars anemic family comedy, October 30, 2007

By	Roland E. Zwick (Valencia, Ca USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Are We Done Yet? (DVD)

"Are We Done Yet?" is probably the only film in movie history to be both a sequel to one movie ("Are We There Yet?") and a remake of another ("Mr. Blanding Builds His Dream House").

The movie picks up where "Are We There Yet?" left off, with confirmed bachelor Nick Persons having tied the knot with his main squeeze, Suzanne (Nia Long), and adopted her two children, Kevin and Lindsey. Desperate to get his new family out of his two-by-four Portland apartment, Nick purchases a home in the country, a dilapidated relic that gives a whole new meaning to the term "fixer-upper."

"Are We Done Yet?" starts off with a clever animated title sequence that brings to mind the work of the great Saul Bass in the 1950's and 1960's. Unfortunately, it's strictly downhill from there. For bad as it was, the original found at least a modicum of comic tension in the conflict between Nick and the two bratty kids who hated him. Here Nick is forced to wage an endless battle with an assortment of woodland creatures, shady contractors, loose floorboards, insect infestations, dry rot and a whole host of other homeowner inconveniences. Far from being antagonists, the other family members are reduced to little more than a grating Greek chorus cynically commenting on the hapless man's nonstop travails.

Ice Cube demonstrates a certain minor flair as an actor, but even Jim Carrey would have trouble making a silk purse out of this pratfall-laden sow's ear. With its bland mixture of anemic slapstick and gooey sentimentality, "Are We Done Yet?" is about as dreadful a movie comedy as has come down the pike in quite some time. Perhaps a more appropriate title would have been "Is it Over Yet?"
