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

"
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."

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

"The movie never passes up an opportunity to insult viewers of all ages."

"
Are We There Yet?
is the perfect movie for your children, assuming you hate your children."

"Damn that Satchel Paige bobblehead doll and double-damn director Brian Levant for thinking it was a good idea."

"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."

"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

"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

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

"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."
