Fast-talking security guard Ben gains entry into the police academy, and his dreams of becoming a detective are finally within reach. He and his new partner, James, are assigned to a case involving a drug dealer who is supplying the city with a new deadly toxin. The duo must race against time to shut down the operation before more lives are lost.

Critical Reception

Ride Along 2 was met with generally negative reviews from critics, with many finding it to be a formulaic and uninspired sequel that relied too heavily on the established comedic chemistry of its leads without offering fresh material. Audience reception was slightly more favorable, though it still fell short of the enthusiasm for the first film.

What Reviewers Say

  • The film relies heavily on the comedic chemistry between Kevin Hart and Ice Cube, which, while a known quantity, is not enough to overcome a weak script.
  • The plot is derivative and predictable, offering little in the way of originality or excitement.
  • While there are moments of genuine humor, they are often overshadowed by forced gags and a lack of substantial narrative development.

Google audience: Google users found the film to be a decent, albeit unoriginal, comedy. Many enjoyed the banter between Kevin Hart and Ice Cube, but a significant portion felt the plot was uninspired and lacked the charm of the original. Some viewers appreciated the action sequences, while others found them unremarkable.

Fun Fact

The film was shot on location in Miami, Florida, which provided a vibrant backdrop for the action and comedic set pieces.
