Are We Done Yet? (2007) 6/10

Starring : Ice Cube, Nia Long, John C McGinley, Aleisha Allen, Philip Daniel Bolden
Director : Steve Carr
Running Time : 89 mins

Nick Persons (Cube) and his newly pregnant wife Suzanne (Long) decide that, now that they're married, they need a bigger home for their collection of four children, but no sooner have they bought their so-called dream house than things start to go wrong and they find themselves feeling conned by local jack-of-all-trades Chuck Mitchell Jr (McGinley).

This wasn't an improvement on the first movie, Are We There Yet?, and in fact seems like something of a regression as the kids take a back burner to an amiable performance by Scrubs star John C McGinley. Ice Cube tries his best to recapture the charm of the original, but fails by almost parodying himself in thsi weak sequel.
