Are We Done Yet? isn't much more than a middling middle-class fantasy, but it has a few sweet admonitions nestled amid the tomfoolery.

Consensus: Are We Done Yet? plays it way too safe with generic slapstick and uninspired domestic foibles.

Reviews for Are We Done Yet?
There is something almost revolutionary about the way it and a couple of other recent movies (including this week's Firehouse Dog) are attempting to bring back the sort of live-action family films that Disney used to churn out in the '70s.
04/04/07
There's lots of falling down, sloppy food messes and animals taunting the heroes. Cube does a good job mugging it up in his pratfalls. He shows he doesn't have to take himself seriously but can commit to the ridiculous with joy.
04/07/07
This fixer-upper family comedy is still a notable improvement over the previous Ice Cube outing.
04/04/07
Top CriticIt isn't gangsta, but it's winning all the same.
04/07/07
The actors are all likable, the film moves at a brisk pace and there are even one or two jokes that appear to be original.
04/04/07
For all his scowling bluster, Ice Cube long ago turned into a bit of a teddy bear. (Is this really the guy who rapped on N.W.A.'s 'Straight Outta Compton'?)
04/04/07
Top CriticUS audiences ate it up and there are just enough laughs to appease those whose tastes run to utterly undemanding kiddie slapstick and life lessons.
06/08/07
Following up on his execrable 2005 semi-hit Are We There Yet?, Ice Cube once again turns the world off with a scowl in Are We Done Yet?
04/05/07
Let’s just hope the kids find burping raccoons and crumbling ceilings hilarious.
07/12/07
Oh, I do hope so. Why Ice Cube thought his wretched family outing Are We There Yet? deserved a sequel is baffling, since all it revealed was his complete ineptitude as a light comedian.
06/08/07
No cleverness was exerted on this one.
04/04/07
Top CriticAn acknowledged remake of the old Cary Grant movie Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. As far as I could tell, that's because everyone involved was inspired by the syllable "Bland" in the title.
05/28/07
Top CriticDirector Steve Carr is apparently the go-to guy for African-American comedy actors looking to destroy any last vestiges of already waning credibility.
04/12/07
Starved for a laugh, the film drags on until finally the predictable life lesson is taught and the credits roll.
04/05/07
Done is a softer picture aimed more at home repair guffaws and comic anxiety rather than a soul-sucking endurance test of misery. The upgrade is appreciated if not completely enjoyed.
04/03/07
In most films, a bathroom-related joke would represent the lowest form of humor. In this one, it's a highlight.
04/04/07
passable but far from inspired
07/15/07
We're finished.
08/02/07
If only someone had thought to fix the script.
