Critics Consensus

This supposed family comedy staring the usually blameless Ice Cube and Nia Long has provoked most critics to write, "Is it over yet?"

Less amusing than a game of license plate bingo.

Are We There Yet? all too effectively conveys the claustrophobic horror of being shackled in a small space with two whiny, hateful children.

That we're supposed to find any of these characters appealing is just one of the mysteries posed by this so-called 'family' comedy.

Are We There Yet? manages to be utterly tasteless, saccharine and unsatisfying all at once.

3/5

Although it's far from perfect, there are enough laughs and endearing moments to just about keep you and -- more importantly perhaps -- the kids entertained for the whole ride.

I watched this film expecting some masterpiece by what I had read however I was left distinctly underwhelmed. It is basically set in the early twentieth century as the vast land of the United States is mined for oil. Daniel Day Lewis plays Daniel Plainview, a Cliff Barnes (Dallas, RIP) like character who is the big positive of this film. He is a ruthless character. A capitalist who senses a quick few bucks and will do anything to achieve his aims it seems. Day Lewis characterisation of Plainview reminded me of his performance as Bill The Butcher in Gangs of New York. His ruthless streak is shown when he abandons his young son, HW. He displays all the business skills of Donald Trump in promising ranch owners a future of paradise if they sell their oil fertile land to him to plunder for oil. One such landowner is Abel Sunday who has two identical twin sons Paul and Eli Sunday both played by Paul Dano who I saw in the excellent 2014 biopic of Brian Wilson, Love & Mercy. Eli is a self-proclaimed preacher/faith healer. The tension between Eli and Plainview explodes in several scenes throughout the film. Scenes that are tense and at times violent. The performance of the cast are what raises the bar of this film. Director Paul Thomas Anderson can be praised for delivering excellent scenes between them. However be warned. The film is quite lengthy and bleak.

A dull, stereotypical, and annoying road trip flick that is devoid of any laughs and isn't smart enough to evoke any kind of heart.

"Is it over yet?" I'm not mad with it. It's a great family movie, but it's easy to put on when you're bored.

Loved it. Rotten tomatoes are always off that's why I pay their ratings no mind
