Typical comedy sequel that can't live up to the hype of the first movie, funniest moments were ruined by the trailer. Mediocre movie with not many laughs.

A meager entry into the "Kevin-Hart buddy comedy" sub-genre, "Ride Along 2" is a stale, recycled cop caper that is rarely funny and filled to the brim with half-hearted performances.

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 CubeOh 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

For Ride Along 2 bigger doesn't always mean better,but satisfying more the less.One thing Ride Along 2 did good no GREAT was Kevin Hart, the guy is just the best comedian in Hollywood and it shows in this movie and I guarantee Kevin HartFor Ride Along 2 bigger doesn't always mean better,but satisfying more the less.One thing Ride Along 2 did good no GREAT was Kevin Hart, the guy is just the best comedian in Hollywood and it shows in this movie and I guarantee Kevin Hart fans will not be disappointed, every time he steps on you just laugh and laugh although it feels he carries the weight of the film too much unfortunately the same things can't be said for the co-stars.Ice cube who plays as Kevin Hart's partner is just too dry at times and his seriousness doesn't always match with Kevin's wit although there were some fun moments between the two.Ice Cube and Kevin Hart just don't have great chemistry and some of the heart felt moments between the two felt cheap, same thing can be said about Oliver Munn who is the exact same character as Ice cube but she has tries to have a more comedic role which felt awkward and cringy at times with makes you go no Psylocke no(fingers crossed she won't do the same thing in X-Men Apocalypse), but all this can be ignored because there is a lot fun and enjoyment in this movie . This sequel outshines the original in the comedy as Ride Along 2 is Funnier and crazier although some of the jokes feel forced and lazy and the first half of the movie is rather dull but picks up fast.Ken Jeong is the best new character this movie has and he has some great scenes as well as Tika Sumpter who plays Kevin Hart's girlfriend who wasn't in the film as much but was good in the film as Ben's girlfriend.The villain in this film is rather generic and cliche but is a better villain than the first movie, but if you don't mind cliché villains you won't mind.So overal Ride Along 2 is not as good as the first Ride Along but is a satisfactory sequel, a good popcorn flick,if you're looking for something deeper in this film you won't find it as the film has weak character growth, but no the less Ride Along 2 has great comedy, some wild action and if you can ignore some bad CGI and weak characters you will have a great time.… Expand

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. The chemistry between Hart and Ice cube is notAlright 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. 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

This movie was full of mediocre action and senseless humor. Overall I enjoyed this movie. If you don't have a good sense of humor this movie is not for you. It's not worth a trip to the theater but definitley a rental

A sequel that is about on level with the first film. While the film fails to bring much new to the buddy cop genre, it has a chuckle or two so it's not completely unwatchable. C-
