The kids, who have never liked any of the men their mom dates, are determined to turn the trip into a nightmare for Nick.

It's been a while since we saw a bad John Hughes comedy, and Are We There Yet? more than fits the bill (even though Hughes had absolutely nothing to do with it). - 50

Won't make your day, but it won't kill it either. - 50
Christian Science Monitor
Cube is cute and Long is lovely, but the youngsters are too brash and smug to bear. At least there's a heartwarming end to the excursion. - 50
Philadelphia Inquirer
This is not the plot of your typical Ice Cube movie. It does, however, combine the plots of at least three John Hughes movies. - 40
Variety
Are We There Yet? traps the affable Ice Cube in a dismal kiddy slapstick saga that even his considerable charisma can do little to enhance. - 40
Village Voice
Levant and his screenwriting posse attempt to wring maximum hilarity from this setup, but it's just too schizoid. - 40
Dallas Observer
It's all a big, boring failure of slapstick and degradation. Of course, that's not to say your kids won't like it. - 40
L.A. Weekly
Surely the only thing more excruciating than being trapped in a car with a bratty child is having to sit through a road-trip movie that features two of them.
