D-
"It's never too early to start that 'Worst of 2005' list, and Are We There Yet? is already a worthy contender."  FromTheBalcony  Bill Clark

F
"Are We There Yet? is an appalling experience that no adult (or kid for that matter) should be subjected to. On the plus side, it makes for great birth control."  FilmJerk.com  Brian Orndorf

"At first glance, such emasculation humor seems a depressing departure for the erstwhile Amerikkka's Most Wanted."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

1/5
"The movie never passes up an opportunity to insult viewers of all ages."  eFilmCritic.com  Dan Lybarger

1/5
"Are We There Yet? is the perfect movie for your children, assuming you hate your children."  eFilmCritic.com  David Cornelius

1.5/4
"Damn that Satchel Paige bobblehead doll and double-damn director Brian Levant for thinking it was a good idea."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

D
"It's like Planes, Trains and Automobiles, but with Steve Martin replaced by Ice Cube and John Candy replaced by two spiteful, hateful children who are unworthy of love."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

D
"The two things I learned from Are We There Yet? are: a) all bachelors are depressed and lonely, and b) friendship means nothing unless there is sex at the end of the tunnel."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

1.5/4
"So Are We There Yet? The answer is yes—we arrived and from the looks of this fettered fluff we could ask an equally appropriate inquiry: Is it too late to go back?"  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

D+
"Happily, the answer is eventually 'Yes.' Travels such a well-worn road that you feel you've ridden it many times over."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/4
"Ridiculously trite but ultimately harmless."  Palo Alto Weekly  Jeanne Aufmuth

3/5
"Are We There Yet? is not a great film, but it’ll do. Remember, you can do a lot worse this month."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

1/5
"Cube is genuinely charming, but even he can't elevate the proceedings above the coarse sensibilities of Brian Levant, whose niche is directing boorish, noisy children's pictures."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

"[A]lready we have the film to beat for the title of 2005’s Movie That Makes You Want To Move To Another Planet To Avoid Any Association With Its Creators..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

1/4
"What does Brian Levant have against the stars of Boyz N the Hood? First Cuba Gooding Jr. in Snow Dogs, now Cube and Nia Long in one fell swoop."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

C
"The longest, naggiest, car-sickiest travel with children is less tedious than this weak and dragged-out generic fluff."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

2/4
"The type of fluff usually reserved for the likes of Tim Allen or a post-Nutty Professor Eddie Murphy."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

1/5
"Try as he may, Cube can’t save this movie, in which he also served as a producer. That would be like emptying a flood area by using thimbles."  Filmcritic.com  Pete Croatto

2/5
"Somehow, 'Life ain’t nothin’ but diapers and minivans' just doesn’t pack the same punch."  Film Threat  Pete Vonder Haar

D
"Director Brian Levant can't pace a scene, develop a character or time a joke, but finally his criminal misuse of the spirit of Satchel Paige is too much. This road trip never gets out of the driveway."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

"The gags seem pretty lame even by the standards assiduously applied by most 8-year-olds."  Salon.com  Stephanie Zacharek

0/4
"Doesn't even have the wit to be energetic, funny or humane en route to being inane, irritating, and corrosive."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
