The A.V. ClubNathan Rabin
It isn't gangsta, but it's winning all the same. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean Axmaker
The unchecked enthusiasm of McGinley as the touchy-feely renovation guru gives slow-burn Cube the perfect foil and mellows the malicious comic tone. The rest is pure slapstick. Read full review

Baltimore SunChris Kaltenbach
There's a funny premise at the core of Are We Done Yet? Too bad the movie doesn't do much with it. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesSam Adams
Although Ice Cube is still happy to haul out his old snarl when it serves his purposes, he's clearly trying to reinvent himself as a family entertainer. But the milder he gets, the less confident he seems. What's a reformed gangsta rapper to do? Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterMichael Rechtshaffen
Tpicture delivers the requisite number of pratfalls, and the genial Ice Cube makes for a credibly hapless everyman, but the comedy still feels a little too safely soft around the edges. Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick
While the latest installment avoids the nonstop parade of potty jokes, it never rises much past the level of mediocrity. Read full review

San Francisco ChroniclePeter Hartlaub
Obvious, but at least it's clean. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
After allowing sadistic violence and whining children to invade his movie like a horde of termites, Carr tries to put one over on us by tacking on a sentimental ending. But as any homeowner could have told him, you can't disguise a weak foundation with a cheap finish. Read full review

Village VoiceScott Foundas
Fans of the first film can rest assured that a change in the director's chair has done little to curb the overall tone of slapstick desperation. Read full review

VarietyJohn Anderson
Supposedly based on "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House," but has about as much to do with that frothy Cary Grant confection as a Yugo has to do with a 1948 Buick Roadster. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette Catsoulis
An ill-advised sequel to "Are We There Yet?" and a feeble fable of better parenting through home improvement. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael Phillips
Calling a sequel Are We Done Yet? is like calling it "Enough Already." Read full review

Been-there-seen-that wannabe laughfest. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineKen Fox
The film desperately needs a stronger script; one with a few funny jokes would be nice. Read full review

Washington PostAnn Hornaday
John C. McGinley from "Scrubs" gets to strut some of his comic stuff as the deranged builder, but he's the only passable feature in a property that should be condemned. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJ.R. Jones
Director Steve Carr continues his streak of numbingly mediocre family comedies. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen Cole
If all this sounds familiar, it should. Fathers seldom fare very well in family comedies. Read full review

Atrocious sequel. Read full review

Nothing is very funny in this movie, and everything is predictable. Read full review

Even John C McGinley (Dr. Cox from Scrubs) can't save this lamest of comedies. Read full review
