Director : Tim Story
Running Time : 102 mins
James Peyton (Cube) is persuaded by his sister Angela (Sumpter) to take her fiancée Ben Barber (Hart) to investigate a drug dealer in Miami, but he secretly hopes to use the case to prove Ben doesn’t have what it takes to be a detective.
This wasn’t as much fun as the original, mainly because it no longer felt as original (how original can a buddy cop movie really be?). It also suffered from having a ridiculously inappropriate soundtrack; hip hop music filled with swearing that’s bleeped out because of the PG13 rating? What were they thinking? Ice Cube felt ill at ease in this, as if he wished he were somewhere else, and most of the performances were pretty wooden at time. Jeong and Hart try to keep things light, but it’s not easy for them with such a so-so script. Worth watching if you liked the original, but it’s not an instant classic.
