Ride Along: Laughs All Along the Way

Kevin Hart brings life to a movie one more time this year. Hart plays Ben Barber an aspiring police officer.  He would really like to marry his girlfriend Angela (played by the lovely Tika Sumpter) but he has to get through Angela's lone ranger police officer brother James Payton played by none other than Ice Cube.  In order to even get the chance to ask James for her hand in marriage, he has to get through a ride along.

The laughs keep coming as James, tries to deter Ben but somehow Ben finds or stumbles upon ways to help a case that has long plagued James. 

Although they try to make Ice Cube funny, the lines are corny making several  references to his own music. However, Hart saves the day with classic one liner and antics of the Hart kind.  John Leguizamo and Brian Callen also provide some comic relief to Ice Cube's hard exterior.

I really liked this movie! I love my one liners and Kevin Hart does it with such ease.  You easily fall in love with Ben Barber and root for him the whole way.
