Like your smartphone, it's a testament to the theory of interchangeable parts, a perfectly engineered product that, if you're charitable, you might also think of in terms of art....But every time I started to believe that there's some parodic impulse behind the filmmakers' recasting of clichés, Cube's character would punch a suspect in custody or commit some other violation of civil liberties that the film invites us to cheer. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
Ride Along 2, which moves the action from Atlanta to Miami, plays more like a remake than a sequel. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
Ride Along 2 is the movie equivalent of a cover band. We’ve seen it all before, and often in much better films. - 50
The A.V. Club
The implausibilities, cop-movie checkboxes, and mildly wasted talent make Ride Along 2 lazy, but not downright loathsome. If anything, it’s perhaps slightly more amusing and agreeable than the original—a sign of how little that film’s seemingly surefire premise wound up mattering. - 42
Consequence
Hart, the firecracker that he is, has a fitting comedic (and crime-fighting) partner out there somewhere. But it’s not in the Ride Along series. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
With a storyline less challenging than that of a typical CBS crime procedural, Ride Along 2 is little more than a repetitive rehash of the original. - 40
New Orleans Times-Picayune
For better and for worse, it's neither better nor worse than the original "Ride Along." That's because it's essentially the same movie. - 30
TheWrap
The film’s most genuinely funny moment involves A.J.’s ringtones, which should perhaps come as no surprise — the stakes, and the laughs, are so small that Ride Along 2 was apparently designed to be watched on your phone.
