Critics Consensus

Ride Along 2 presents a cop-comedy sequel whose well-matched stars can't break the law of diminishing returns -- or lock up a script that unabashedly steals from the original.

You chuckle, maybe laugh for a hot second. But you want more.

Ride Along 2 stretches the premise of the original paper-thin ... The unlikely glee of the original is thoroughly gone this time around.

Rated: 1/5

What it does do - is allow you to park your brain in neutral for 100 minutes, laugh at some silly jokes... and then walk out of theatre and immediately forget it ever happened. And there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, it's kind of refreshing.

Rated: 3/5

A simple movie that relies on the A.B.C.'s of buddy cop movies: A.) Action. B.) Broad comedy. C.) Cleavage.

Rated: 3/5

It's simply a shame to see a talented guy like Kevin Hart saddled with material that doesn't begin to live up to his immense comic range.

Rated: 2.0/4.0

It had some funny scenes but the first one was better I still dont think that it deserved that bad of ranking because I think that Kevin hart and ice cube did a great job but I didn't like the whole idea and script of the 2nd movie
