As cop comedies go, Ride Along 2 gets the job done. Read full review

Tom Russo

You’ll have to be satisfied with a modest assortment of energetically comic moments here, because the story sure isn’t a reason to catch this encore, and neither are who-asked-for-’em cast additions such as Ken Jeong. Read full review

The script by Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi gives you next to nothing for narrative complication and surprise, and a meager amount of verbal jokes. Read full review

For better and for worse, it's neither better nor worse than the original "Ride Along." That's because it's essentially the same movie. Read full review

The plot is paint by numbers, which puts pressure on the comedy to deliver. But it doesn’t. Read full review

The film’s most genuinely funny moment involves A.J.’s ringtones, which should perhaps come as no surprise — the stakes, and the laughs, are so small that Ride Along 2 was apparently designed to be watched on your phone. Read full review

The entire film seems cloaked with a general vibe of “good enough.” Embarrassingly cheap CGI effects, poor ADR, and slipshod, jarring editing are the technical failures that compound with the creative ones to indicate a movie that’s not just miscalculated, but seemingly committed to putting together, at its best, a deliverable product and nothing more.

I found this movie to be hilarious. The entire audience seemed to agree with me as the whole theatre was laughing throughout. Weird that it only got 15% from the critics. I think it did it's job which was to provide the audience with laughs :D

Very funny movie. Kevin Hart is so hilarious. It's almost like watching the movie Friday but with cops.

Ride Along 2 does have its moments and Kevin Hart and Ice Cube have outrageously good chemistry as well as Ken Jeong and Olivia Munn, but the film is just too cliched and it's your regular buddy-cop comedy. The film is long, and the plot is the same thing in every single buddy-cop comedy.

Alright first of all no one ever asked for a sequel to the ride along movie. Secondly this one is worse than the first. This is just a rehash of the first movie but with different objectives.

Secondly this one is worse than the first. This is just a rehash of the first movie but with different objectives. The chemistry between Hart and Ice cube is not good at all though they’re the best part in the movie. This movie isn’t funny at all most of the jokes were flat. It even had a terrible way of editing just like the first one. The only thing that was interesting in the movie was the car chase which was really unique and enjoyable. The villain was god awfully terrible and cliched.In the end Ride Along 2 is a very forgettable movie with Hart trying hard to make people laugh but at this point people are getting tired of kevin Hart’s comedic movies.… Expand

Oh great we get to see Kevin Hart be annoying and unfunny again in this Ride Along franchise [sarcasm]! I didn't think the first Ride Along was funny at all, yes it gave me a few laughs but I find Kevin Hart annoying and unfunny but Ice Cube saved the mediocre action buddy-cop movie. But nowOh great we get to see Kevin Hart be annoying and unfunny again in this Ride Along franchise [sarcasm]! I didn't think the first Ride Along was funny at all, yes it gave me a few laughs but I find Kevin Hart annoying and unfunny but Ice Cube saved the mediocre action buddy-cop movie. But now we have a sequel just what this stupid mediocre action-comedy franchise needs. Let me tell you that this sequel is not good at all, the gags are unfunny (but some do work). Ben Barber (once again played by Kevin Hart) a former high school security guard who is a month out of the police academy and a week away from marrying James' sister (Tika Sumpter). He wants to be a detective like James (played again by Ice Cube), his future brother-in-law, James reluctantly takes Ben to Miami to follow up on a lead that's connected to a drug ring. The case brings them to a homicide detective (Olivia Munn) and a computer hacker (Ken Jeong) who reveals evidence that implicates a respected businessman. It's up to James and Ben to prove that charismatic executive Antonio Pope (Benjamin Bratt) is actually a violent crime lord who rules southern Florida's drug trade. Munn and Jeong shouldn't be in this movie because both of them are talented, and they can't save this film either. Director Tim Story directs once again, and the direction is once again terrible. Bratt as the villain is okay, he did an okay job. Jeong isn't funny here, he deserves better material. If your a fan of the first one, go see it! But for the rest stay away, this film isn't worth the ride. Let's not hope their not making another one of these movies. 2 out of 5… Expand

Ride Along 2 was much better than I expected, in that I casually chuckled more than a few times. Hart and Ice Cube are great, and I love Olivia Munn. This isn't good or hilarious but it's diverting enough.

I would say "Ride Along 2" is Kevin Hart's funniest movie yet but that could be construed as hate speech. He seems like a great guy in interviews but not all great guys are funny or creative.
