For the past two years, high-school security guard Ben has been trying to show decorated APD detective James that he's more than just a video-game junkie who's unworthy of James' sister, Angela. When Ben finally gets accepted into the academy, he thinks he's earned the seasoned policeman's respect and asks for his blessing to marry Angela. Knowing that a ride along will demonstrate if Ben has what it takes to take care of his sister, James invites him on a shift designed to scare the hell out of the trainee. But when the wild night leads them to the most notorious criminal in the city, James will find that his new partner's rapid-fire mouth is just as dangerous as the bullets speeding at it.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Security guard Ben must prove himself to his girlfriend's brother, top police officer James. He rides along James on a 24-hour patrol of Atlanta. Ride Along has it's fair share of flaws but it's better than most comedies out there plus i do like both Ice Cube and Kevin Hart and in my opinion they did such a great job in their respective roles. Plus the storyline was pretty good and the film was actually very funny and with lots of action too especially the opening sequence was great. Plus there's also unfortunately a sequel titled 'Ride Along 2' that was just awful. (8/10)

Ride Along is a 2014 action crime comedy starring Ice Cube and Kevin Hart and tells the story of a trainee cop played by Hart who wants to marry his girlfriend. Of course his girlfriend's brother is a cop played by Cube and in order for Hart's character to prove to Cube's character that he wants to marry his girlfriend,Cube's character decides to train Hart's character and learns to prove himself.Now this type of film has been done before,you know what is gonna happen straight away and I am now becoming a fan of Kevin Hart's as I didn't know who he was till last year when he was in another action crime comedy called Central Intelligence. Overall I enjoyed it it was a decent flick and I was glad to have gotten it on Blu Ray and a good price.

Ride Along is one of those examples that some sequels shouldn't be made, if they're going to do a sequel it better be as good or even better than the first. Ride Along is a pretty good buddy action comedy flick, some of the dialogue could have been changed, some of it is crass and unnecessary, but other than that it's fine, when it comes to the comedy it isn't even funny, there's only two scenes that are humorous and that is the scene where "Ben" (Kevin Hart) mistakes a woman for a man and where "Ben" pretends to be "Omar", the movie overall is watchable.The twist is predictable and is barely even a twist, it's so cliché that that plot-twist is in 80% of cop-themed films.The pacing of the film is perfect and has a cool instrumental hip hop film score composed by Christopher Lennertz.The performances are natural, the scenery is not all that, "Ben's" apartment however is very nice although on his salary as a high school security guard i doubt he would be able to afford a place like that in reality and it is never established what his fiancé does for a living.Great chemistry between Ice Cube and Kevin Hart, the Trivia says this movie was originally going to star Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds - that would not have worked, they just seem like a wrong pairing.Ride Along 2 was slightly funny at times, but it was extremely boring, Ride Along 1 is more serious, the sequel was trying to be too much like the first one with basically the same plot.Hopefully Ride Along 3 will have a better story than the sequel and hopefully it'll be as good as or even better than the first one.If you like your buddy/comedy flicks, Ride Along is worth watching more than once.

First off, this movie was fine. Nothing amazing, nothing awful It was a fine movie. Except, it reminded me A LOT of the heat. Which was a GREAT comedy. This movie was much less funny IMO, of course it had Kevin Hart who I think is HILARIOUS. Also, the woman (who's name I do not know) I think was great as well, Ice cube had his moments but really I found unlikable which I believe was what his goal was, to be the fierce BAMF. this movie was okay, if you're looking for a good midnight movie to watch and you already have seen the heat, watch this. But go in with an open mind. I thought it did it's purpose. OFFICIAL REVIEW : Acting wise - 8/10 (for the movie it did 10/10 it did it's purpose it wasn't made to be an Oscar winner. Plot wise - 9.5/10 (very good plot, not a 10 because heat had a similar plot.) Script wise - 5/10 (it has many funny parts but still came out nothing incredible) Final - 7/10 I didn't do the math but I rounded it to a 7/10. See the Heat THEN this.
