Review of Ride Along (2014) by Ducknation — 09 Jun 2014

Ride Along was actually pretty funny but I felt like it should have been rated R rather than PG-13 and you can clearly see that in Ice Cube's acting. With him being a great verbal actor and this being PG-13 it only constricts how far his character can go which really sucks on the other hand Kevin Hart absolutely kills it in this, he is for sure the highlight of this buddy cop movie. The story again like most buddy cop movies nowadays is with little thought and relies on too much on its actors to make it entertaining its a good thing the actors do a good job and make it at least watchable. Alright I think we all know Tim Story has directed some crap movies his worst of course being the two Fantastic Four movies but this movie is actually the first movie I like of his also I wonder how much Jason Mantzoukas had to do with the script because that guy is freaking hilarious. Okay most of the time I like seeing John Leguizamo in movies but this time I just found him to be annoying also I totally wasn't expecting Laurence Fishburne to be in this movie and I was surprised when he walked into the scene and while his character is "the bad guy" he never really seems convincing.

Overall I give it a 6.0 The big speech scene at the end with Kevin Hart was easily the best part of the movie also Tika Sumpter was easy on the eyes.
