Review of Ride Along (2014) by Acaiberry — 20 Mar 2015

I give this a 5.5 which translate to a 6 but I was expecting more effort in the plot than what it turned out to be. I love Kevin Hart and I think he is naturally funny, but he did nothing here that I haven't seen before. Good thing Ice Cube showed up as his polar opposite or else this would've turned exponentially banal.

As far as comedy movies go, this is average as it gets and really seems formulaic. I don't easily laugh at old elements of comedy and I tend to look for something new so this movie disappointed me there. Another thing I want to say is not all the scenes are particularly captivating so expect lulls in the film.

All in all, it gets a 6 because you'll get the laughs and who doesn't love a bit of cop-badguy action?

Word to describe: Wandering, it's not as good as you think as it gets predicative so your mind will wander every once in a while.

Watch it with some friends and it's okay to get the annoying movie friend to come because it's a comedy. Even the annoying movie friends deserve to laugh a bit.
