Review of Ride Along (2014) by Lukechristiansc — 03 Jan 2016
"Ride Along" manages to get a few laughs from me, but the main character played by the wild eccentric talented comic Kevin Hart is so annoying, yes I know he's supposed to be that way but it's so annoying and painful watching him for one-hour and forty minutes.
Kevin Hart plays Ben Barber a security guard, who has tried to convince James (Ice Cube) that he is worthy of marrying James' sister Angela (Tika Sumpter). Ben is invited to the police academy, James decides to test his mettle by inviting him along on the shift designed to scare the trainee.
Director Tim Story (Barber Shop, Think Like A Man and Fantastic Four) provides Hart and Cube some funny comedic landscape and Story does succeed by making it making it funny, but overall Hart and Cube would do better if they had a different director and had a better director instead Hart and Cube are trying to shine and make the script work also outshine the bad direction by Story.
Laurence Fishbourne is good as the villain, also John Leguizamo is miss-cast.
