Ride Along Review

                I saw Ride Along last Saturday and it was pretty entertaining. It goes without saying that Kevin Hart is the comedic rock star of our generation; he is King Midas right now. You already know what this movie is about so I’m not going to focus on the plot. All you need to know is that this movie is worth it. Ice Cube and Kevin Hart have good onscreen chemistry and there are plenty of cameos that will elicit Woo’s from the audience.

                My only complaint is that the characters are a bit dry. Kevin Hart’s girlfriend was extremely one dimensional. Honestly, she could have been on a business trip and not shown up in the film at all and it wouldn’t change a thing. And the story is a little too predictable at times. Heads up: there’s a “twist” in this movie that is so trite that it made me want to shake my head and groan.

                Other than that, this movie is hilarious. Two thumbs up; 4 stars. I wouldn’t mind seeing it in theaters again. A sequel is already in the works which shows how successful it already is. After Ride Along, the next film up on Kevin Hart Takeover is About Last Night. Go see Ride Along before you end up being the only one in the theater and you look like the Ostrich on Family Guy.
