Ben is een bewaker op een middelbare school en heeft al twee jaar een relatie met Angela. Ben wil haar ten huwelijk vragen, maar hij moet eerst haar grote broer James, een politieagent uit Atlanta, overtuigen dat hij goed genoeg is om met haar te trouwen. Om Ben te testen neemt James hem een dagje mee op patrouille maar wanneer ze de grootste crimineel van de stad op het spoor komen, wordt het al snel een krankzinnige ride along. (Universal Pictures International Netherlands)

Hmm, it seems that someone here really, really wanted to be the new Eddie Murphy. Unfortunately (or fortunately), he has neither the charisma nor, and more importantly, the talent. Yeah, I’m talking about you, Kevin Hart. There’s no one as annoying and embarrassing in contemporary Hollywood as Hart, who surpasses even Chris Tucker, the king of awkwardness of his time, in terms of his relentless overacting and attempt to be "funny" at all costs. The only bright spot is Ice Cube, who may be tough as nails, but I like him since Three Kings, he’s fun. Which can’t be said for this awfully unfunny “comedy” that makes you think that any douchebag can be a screenwriter in Hollywood. I can understand the massive success overseas because the large black audience loves this whiny shit.

Horribly worn-out buddy movie formula that simply doesn't work as it should anymore. Ice Cube is surprisingly good, Kevin Hart is just annoying, and you really want him to get a lot more flack. Well, the story also runs in well-trodden tracks, not bringing anything specific to the table. Tim Story just continues to prove that he is simply an average filmmaker.
