I have
wanted to see Ride Along ever since I first saw the trailer for it.
It stars Kevin Hart who I think is funny as hell (except for Let Me Explain where I laughed once) and I've been a fan of Ice Cube since I
was a child. The two of them together seemed like it would be a great
mix and for a bit it is. But this movie takes a turn and never gets
back to what made the movie funny at times, which was the interaction
between Hart and Cube.
Hart
plays Ben Barber who is a security guard at a high school who wants
to join the police academy. He spends his free time playing video
games online which give him a ton of knowledge about guns though he's
never held a real one. He wants to marry his fiancee Angela Payton
played by Tika Sumpter who is just too damned cute. The biggest
hurdle is James Payton played by Cube who is her older brother.
