Our unlikely duo teams up again. After they make a bust in Atlanta the trail leads them to Miami as they chase A.J. (Ken Jeong) "a low budget Jackie Chan" who can read the thumb drive they captured. This was one of a number of such lines that could be taken out of the context of the script, At one time Hart says to Ice Cube "You want to be responsible for ruining my career?" I could see that. Or When Hart feels he has to tell us, ""I'm acting."

Once again Hart saves the film and Ice Cube (In more than one way) and uses skills he learned from video games, perhaps the memorable scene of the feature. Bad guy Benjamin Bratt appears to be impersonating Ricardo Montalban for much of his role. I was waiting to hear something about Corinthian Leather, but it never happened.

The film was fun on the formula scale. I had one delayed Laugh Out Loud moment. It is a film you can rent or wait until it flops in price.

Guide: 2 words. No sex, or nudity. Bikinis and some sex talk. Toned down from first film.

Ben Barber (Kevin Hart) is a rookie cop and getting married to Angela Payton. Police detective James Payton (Ice Cube) is going to Miami to track down computer hacker AJ (Ken Jeong). Angela talks her brother into letting Ben join him. They find help from Miami police detective Maya Cruz (Olivia Munn). AJ is involved with villainous Antonio Pope (Benjamin Bratt).

After the original, I thought the sequel has a chance. I thought the guys' chemistry would make a good buddy cop comedy if they can turn friends. They're still not that friendly but I'm still going to say I'm wrong. Kevin is doing the same thing and it's getting tiresome. Maybe the repetition is getting to me. It's actually getting a little annoying. He may be losing me at this point. It's time he consider something different.

Ride Along 2

Pointless to create the same old buddy cop with predictable dull script and less funnier than the first one even though the bar wasn't set so high.
