Ride Along

Ride Along stars Kevin Hart and Ice Cube in an unlikely cop buddy movie, When James (Ice Cube) takes Ben on a "Ride Along" in order for him to prove he is worthy to marry his sister.

There are many problems with this film, the biggest of all is that it's just not funny, the best jokes are all in the trailer, and when you have seen the trailer 10 or more times as I have, you know the lines that are coming, and it lessens their impact.

The storyline/screenplay kind of works, it keeps the story moving along, although one of the major plot points is telegraphed fairly early on, I like twists to be a surprise, rather than being hinted at all the way through. Ice Cube does a fairly good job, unfortuneately the same can't be said for Kevin Hart, who overacts it imo.

I think it falls into the bad rather than awful category, but not one that will live long in the memory. 4/10
