The only positive thing I can think of was it kept my attention. The bad news, predictable, clumsy, and most of all annoying. The combination of Kevin Hart and Ice Cube screaming for unnecessary reasons is a reason to avoid this film.

Don't understand the appeal of this film. It's a compilation of a 10 other films with no originality at all.
Kevin Hart acts "funny" but his rapid-fire talk makes it difficult to understand him at times. The sad thing about a film like thisDon't understand the appeal of this film. It's a compilation of a 10 other films with no originality at all.
Kevin Hart acts "funny" but his rapid-fire talk makes it difficult to understand him at times. The sad thing about a film like this is that its rock-solid financial success will result in more Ride-Alongs when the first one wasn't even that good. I'm not sure what this says about America's cultural appetite but I'll bet that it isn't healthy.… Expand

Painfully stupid. Ice Cube is funny in more of a supporting role as in 21 Jump Street, and after awhile just got annoying here. Typical, weak january fare.

The previews for Ride Along were better than the actual movie. Kevin Hart is hilarious per usual, but like I said- I've already seen the funny parts 200 times via commercials and previews, that by the time I watched the movie I was annoyedThe previews for Ride Along were better than the actual movie. Kevin Hart is hilarious per usual, but like I said- I've already seen the funny parts 200 times via commercials and previews, that by the time I watched the movie I was annoyed seeing it again.
I was very, very bored with it- I wanted to leave since it was so predictable.… Expand

This definitely a very bad movie with its entirely cliche and predictable plot that doesn't even start properly until 60 minutes of its 100 minute run-time has passed, yes that's right a majority of the movie is dedicated to presenting to usThis definitely a very bad movie with its entirely cliche and predictable plot that doesn't even start properly until 60 minutes of its 100 minute run-time has passed, yes that's right a majority of the movie is dedicated to presenting to us not so funny scenarios that has Kevin Hart doing his best to make his ranting sound funny with moderate success. The 40 minutes that do relate to the main plot just shows the audience how unoriginal this movie is , with its main mystery going to waste and the ending turning into useless mini-version of die hard providing a very unsatisfying ending.
The characters are cliche and consists of everyone you would expect in a typical cop buddy movie, a bad ass cop protective of his sister, the strict police commissioner who disapproves the bad ass cop, and the seemingly puny weak stupid guy who is in love with his sister and of course, some sort of uninteresting gang or cartel with its mystery leader. I would highly recommend anyone to not watch this movie.… Expand

2/5★ Kevin Hart works for every penny. He's on fire from the first frame, and he does not stop, like a little energizer bunny who is always jumping around.

Ride Along is a predictable buddy cop action-comedy that falls victim to Tim Story's inability to create adequate character development or storytelling in his films. Instead what is left is an unoriginal cliched plot filled with more jokesRide Along is a predictable buddy cop action-comedy that falls victim to Tim Story's inability to create adequate character development or storytelling in his films. Instead what is left is an unoriginal cliched plot filled with more jokes than real story. Although the chemistry of Ice Cube and Kevin Hart is good, Hart's manic demeanour becomes overbearing sometimes. The buddy cop genre is terribly cliched but a little more effort in story and characters would have gone a long way to making this a better film. Ride Along is a very undemanding piece of action entertainment so if I were you, I'd just ride along and not expect anything.… Expand

What is there really to say? The point of a comedy is to make the audience laugh and guess what? I DIDN'T LAUGH ONCE. Keven Hart gives it his all but he can't get pass the stupidity of this script.

Hart's acting reaches levels of annoyance previously only Chris Tucker ever had. Ice Cube, however, sounds as if he's a franksenstinian amalgamation of cliche'd overworked cops that we've seen time and time again. The plot is clustered and unfocused, the relationship between Hart and Ice Cube makes little sense, starting off rough, as was intended, and follows through with that until the very end, with little to no form of development in between barring the insane amount of slapstick humour. The plot is clustered and non-sensical, and, unfortunately, even though the entire focus of the movie is the jokes, it fails at that miserably. I would only suggest this movie for any government agents looking for any viable torture techniques.… Expand
