It is rare thing now a days to see movies that portray blacks in a positive light. Most of the time we have to be rappers, players , or gangsters to get into the Hollywood scene. But when a gem like this comes our way it should be celebrated. Are We there Yet is probably not the greatest movie of all time but it offers a few tender moments and some slapstick like situations which I feel could but this movie amongst other road trip films. It is much better than the Johnson Family Vacation. I disagree with those who think the children where too overacting or terribly nasty children. But I feel this offers and opportunity for parents especially black parents to see how issues such as divorce and single parent dating affects young people. I think as the situation become so extreme we get to see how Ice Cube's character is put to the test to become the perfect mentor and friend to the children. So in conclusion give this movie a shot!! Home Alone it is not but it could be the start of something great for our families. I give it a 6.5 of 10.
