Ride Along...Security guard Ben must prove himself to his girlfriend's brother, top police officer James. He rides along James on a 24-hour patrol of Atlanta.
A decent buddy-cop comedy, filled with restless comedy, this movie is at least good for a Sunday night watch.
It's cheesy and mostly predictable, since you can predict most of the mayor plot points, and twists from the start, but considering the fact that most of the buddy-cop movies are two times more predictable than that, it's not that bad.
Kevin Hart is absolutely funny in this flick, he's dumb, silly and many other things, but still while being completely retarded, he still has a very big heart and is the only character that helps the movie to move on in overall.
Ice Cube in the other hand is one of the best examples of "How to not make an Action Hero."
He's not vulnerable, we have no fear of his character, a complete opposite of what a Hero should be, he's like a brake for this movie to succeed.
Dialogues aren't professional, but they are funny, although most jokes aren't original in here and are suffering due to weak writing.
Ride Along is funny, but sure it ain't professional, enough.
It's not a masterpiece, but it's funny no matter what.
Still Kevin Hart should get a lot more praise for this movie, since he's the only part of it, that they could have not possibly made better.
Rating: 2/4
