Ice cube are we done yet12/30/2023 Nick offers to take them to Suzanne and she agrees. His opportunity to prove otherwise comes when the children's' father can't pick them up when Suzanne is going away. When Nick tries to take their relationship further she insists that they can't because he doesn't care about her children. Unfortunately she has the one thing about her Nick can't stand.KIDS!! Nick and Suzanne become very good friends but he avoids her kids at all costs. Are We There Yet is the story of playboy bachelor Nick Persons who meets the girl of his dreams in Suzanne Kingston. Are We There Yet is a nice, cute little story and even Ice Cube pulls off a nice kid's film. We are much poorly represented I assure you. Granted I am white but when I consider the amount of films I see where there are stupid white kinda outweighs anything else I've seen. I must say I am completely blown away by people using this film as some sort of racial lesson.why are African American people being portrayed like this blah blah e on now folks? This film is meant to be a funny, cute little comedy NOT reality and I don't think anyone in the film is portrayed in a poor light. Ted's Evaluation - 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life. Poignant maybe, but neither funny nor endearing. How better to puncture racism? But its got to be funny doesn't it? This picture turns out to be what it starts to be about: a way of torturing a black dude who manages a slick appearance of the ghetto (we're talking about the guy who calls himself Ice Cube here, not his character) and tries to put himself where he doesn't belong. I think humor about race, especially racial stereotypes, is fair game. The turning point is also stereotypical: the treasured black dad has abandoned his family and the beleaguered suitor is revealed to be someone to whom that also happened. The victim is a new kind of shiftless: a black man actually trying to be "ghetto." The story is supposed to smoothly morph in a sort of "What About Bob" way from pain to rewarding relationship. In this edition, some of the tricks are intended and some are not. Lest there be any mistake about the source, the movie actually starts in the "old" Home Alone mode with our (anonymous) victim encountering tripwires that trigger child-made traps of household goods and toys. Were the Stooges the first to build a franchise around this? In modern times, it is the "Home Alone" franchise where we are given an excuse for accepting the cruelties because the hurter is a clever but innocent child and the hurtees are stereotypical bad guys. The more I study film ideas, the more I'm amazed at how some ideas continue to live.
