and then, when the babies start kicking and only Chuck can calm them down, it's more than Nick can bear. When Nick nearly electrocutes himself on his first do-it-yourself project - after a chandelier falls from the ceiling! - Nick gives in, calls the contractor, and.Chuck shows up? It appears that, in addition to being the local realtor, Chuck is also the resident contractor. and before she knows it, Suzanne is giving in to Nick's ridiculous vision of fixing up the house himself and creating the perfect environment for their expanding family. McGinley), sells them on the house's finer attributes.
As Nick quickly - too quickly? - falls in love with a magnificent home in need of some TLC, the charismatic local realtor, Chuck Mitchell, Jr. The situation goes from cramped to critical when Suzanne announces she's pregnant - with twins! There's no option left but to move. Still, Nick is trying his best-to write and to adapt. With new wife, Suzanne (Nia Long), her two growing children, eight-year-old Kevin (Philip Daniel Bolden) and 13-year-old Lindsey (Aleisha Allen), and the family dog, Coco, taking up every last inch of what used to be Nick's bachelor pad, finding space to think and write up the cover story for the first edition of his new venture, Sports Page magazine, is proving an exercise in futility. Nick Persons' (Ice Cube) style is a little cramped these days, along with his rented condo. More importantly, as much effort as the house will require, the Persons are going to find that it will take even more work to make the house a home. McGinley), Nick's suburban dream soon becomes a riotous nightmare. But when his new home quickly becomes a costly "fixer upper" and he finds himself at the mercy of an eccentric contractor (John C.
Now married to Suzanne (Nia Long), Nick Persons (Ice Cube) has bought a quiet suburban house to escape the rat race of the big city and to provide more space for his new wife and kids Lindsey and Kevin (Aleisha Allen and Philip Daniel Bolden). It could have been a whole lot better if Cube brought along his protégé from the first "Friday" film as one of the kids uncles,you know like Chris Tucker? It could have made this film a lot more entertaining.Are We Done Yet? is a follow-up to Revolution Studios' hilarious 2005 family comedy Are We There Yet? and picks up where the last story left off. Still it is a shame that Ice Cube chose this clunker of a vehicle for his first-ever family film. From there,they bring on two of the most misbehaving,obnoxious kids ever to sully the screen,exhibiting misbehavior to such an extreme that it goes beyond the point of normality which to say goes way beneath rude and disrespectful. First they bring on two of the stars from the first original "Friday" movie(Ice Cube and a suddenly aged Nia Long),and put them in a film that is supposed to be family oriented material,since the film uses every cliché from several films to bring this to the point of ridiculous mayhem.

The year 2005 has already started out with some bad turkeys to begin the flock of one of the worst family films of the year.
