For the past two years, high-school security guard Ben has been trying to show decorated APD detective James that he's more than just a video-game junkie who's unworthy of James' sister, Angela. When Ben finally gets accepted into the academy, he thinks he's earned the seasoned policeman's respect and asks for his blessing to marry Angela. Knowing that a ride along will demonstrate if Ben has what it takes to take care of his sister, James invites him on a shift designed to scare the hell out of the trainee. But when the wild night leads them to the most notorious criminal in the city, James will find that his new partner's rapid-fire mouth is just as dangerous as the bullets speeding at it.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Security guard Ben must prove himself to his girlfriend's brother, top police officer James. He rides along James on a 24-hour patrol of Atlanta. Ride Along has it's fair share of flaws but it's better than most comedies out there plus i do like both Ice Cube and Kevin Hart and in my opinion they did such a great job in their respective roles. Plus the storyline was pretty good and the film was actually very funny and with lots of action too especially the opening sequence was great. Plus there's also unfortunately a sequel titled 'Ride Along 2' that was just awful. (8/10)

Ride AlongIf not for Kevin the movie is flat out exhausting, predictable and mundane no matter how much they attempt to project it in a special or unique way.

Ride Along is a 2014 action crime comedy starring Ice Cube and Kevin Hart and tells the story of a trainee cop played by Hart who wants to marry his girlfriend. Of course his girlfriend's brother is a cop played by Cube and in order for Hart's character to prove to Cube's character that he wants to marry his girlfriend,Cube's character decides to train Hart's character and learns to prove himself.Now this type of film has been done before,you know what is gonna happen straight away and I am now becoming a fan of Kevin Hart's as I didn't know who he was till last year when he was in another action crime comedy called Central Intelligence. Overall I enjoyed it it was a decent flick and I was glad to have gotten it on Blu Ray and a good price.

The idea of doing a comic take on the serious drama "Training Day" may sound strange at first, but they say there are no bad ideas, just bad execution of ideas. While "Ride Along" isn't a bad comedy, at its best it is just mildly amusing. I think a big reason why it isn't funnier than it is is due to the screenplay being very predictable. Once you know the premise of the movie, you can pretty much predict what is going to happen some time before it actually does. The screenplay (written by FOUR screenwriters!) should have been wilder in both its humor and with the plot. But as I said, there are still some amusing moments here and there. What really does keep the movie afloat are the performances by the two leads, Ice Cube and Kevin Hart. They both give very appealing performances and show that they are up to the challenge of whatever the screenplay and direction could throw at them. It's a pity, though, that they weren't given much material that was more biting in nature.
