What to Know

Critics Consensus

This supposed family comedy staring the usually blameless Ice Cube and Nia Long has provoked most critics to write, "Is it over yet?"

Less amusing than a game of license plate bingo. Go to Full Review Nathan Rabin AV Club 10/06/2006
Are We There Yet? all too effectively conveys the claustrophobic horror of being shackled in a small space with two whiny, hateful children. Go to Full Review BBC.com 02/22/2005

That we're supposed to find any of these characters appealing is just one of the mysteries posed by this so-called 'family' comedy. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 04/27/2024

Are We There Yet? manages to be utterly tasteless, saccharine and unsatisfying all at once. Go to Full Review Kaleem Aftab The List 04/23/2019

Although it's far from perfect, there are enough laughs and endearing moments to just about keep you and -- more importantly perhaps -- the kids entertained for the whole ride. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Anna B @Phycobelle Feb 8 This film is amazing it's extremely funny and it's an absolute must see at least once!!! See more jj o @Smart_child Jan 23 I remember watching this as a kid and enjoying it. Rewatching it after all these years it got boring See more Eli A @Icecube Jan 19 If your reading this review you should already be watching this movie. ABSOLUTE MUST SEE!!!! Do yourself a favor and just start the movie. See more Otaku F @JaneDoe844 Dec 26 I remember watching this as a kid and not enjoying it. Rewatching it after all these years I still hate it! The kids are annoying and demons, the mom is as annoying as the kids. For the heart felt moments at the end they sit reply earlier scenes. This entire movie just feels very lazy and unfunny, boring movie. If I could give this movie 0 stars I would. See more Rich T @Itchray Dec 21 Stumbled on this movie recently while channelsurfing and couldn't stop watching. It's fast paced action pact endearing and funny. I would watch it again. Maybe it wasnt good in 2005 because it was ahead of its time lol. See more Jbdh H Nov 28 Pretty good. I don’t get the critics, I watch movies to relax and chill, not "this sucks because it shows children in dangerous situations!". Like dawg, it’s fake. DRAMA QUEEN! Also, it has a gross sense of humor because it’s advertised to a young audience with a sense of mainly potty humor! Learn to watch a movie!!! See more Read all reviews
