Ride Along





Ben (Kevin Hart), an aspiring police officer, is in love w/ and wants to marry Angela, the sister of James (Ice Cube).  James is a hardcore Atlanta police detective who thinks no one is good enough for his sister, especially Ben.  To win James over and to receive his blessing to marry Angela, Ben agrees to spend the day w/ James on a ride along, to experience a day in the life of a police officer.

Rating:  3/5 stars

I saw a bunch of previews for this movie so I wasn't really expecting that much.  I figured I already saw all the funny parts and it would be really predictable.  I'm glad I was wrong.  It was still predictable, but, the laughs helped out in that department.  Kevin Hart is a nut.  Funny, but, not "over the top slapstick funny," (which was great, by the way), and Ice Cube and Kevin Hart make a good team.  The cameo spots (Gary Owen and Laurence Fishburne) were good too.
