...just the title would make it a good punchline for a negative review. Will pass in theatres, as theirs lots of hip-hop diaper tie-ins that bombed -- Daddy Day Care and Johnson Family Vacation... however, I dunno how Cube can pull this off without saying motherfucka every two seconds and pulling out a glock or lighting one up (Friday). Oh and a TERRIBLE flick -- My Baby's Daddy..
perhaps blind rent, only if reviews aren't all absolutely shit.

The whole premise is despicable. "Hey look, let's make two brats who make a point of screwing with their Mom's love life the center of attention, little kids will love that!"

i'll definitely be waiting in line for The Pacifier. I know this breaks Madsen's heart to hear, and yes it does look like shit, but i'll be cracking up over how hard it tries...

I don't see myself FLOCKING to the theater for this....
Shouldn't it be called Aren't We There Yet on Video? :D
BTW this movie reminds me A LOT of this one in story ;)

The trailer is a very mixed bag.
There are some funny parts like when Ice Cube is trying to get off the moving train and when he jumps out he misses the luggage that would've broken his fall.
But there are also some incredibly stupid parts of the trailer such as the deer fighting Ice Cube and the scene in the airport when one of the kids puts a corck screw in his pockets and all the security guards jump on him.
So I'm on the fence but it looks like harmless fluff. I will be checking it out.

Doesn't seem too bad from the trailer, il give it a chance. Few funny moments from what i saw, hopefully these will continue through the film.

Found this film to be not half as bad as expected and not entirely a write off as everyone seems to have made it so far.
Ice Cube plays a mid thirties batchelor looking to get into the pants of the beautiful women working across the street from him, simple premise.....but the women has baggage in the fact she has two kids....no scratch that two whiney, horrid kids.
Nick (Ice Cube) works in a Sports Collectibles shop and some how has afforded this huge 4 x 4 truck, kitted out with leather interior and spinning alloy wheels (how i dont know, i very much doubt his salary as a shop owner covers the insurance on that car, or the "bling" around his neck). He uses this to impress the single mom and still thinking his chances are in, he offers to take the kids to Vancouver where she is travelling to without them. This of course leads to all sorts of antics as the kids toy with Nick trying to get him to stay out of their mom's love life.
The jokes are pretty funny, and the connection between the sibling brother and sister is good, and you can genuinely see them teaming up to try and annoy Nick in anyway possible. These jokes however wear thin pretty quickly as they follow the same sort of course, stupidly rebelious kids find a way out his sight and then cause him to either 1.) chse them or 2.) wreck his car trying to get them back.
Still a few moments including his leap of faith from a moving train, the 'ive gotta go pee' bit and the runaway 4 x4 off the freeway all made me smile.
All in all, one to bring the family along too. Ice Cube doesnt swear, he doesnt wave a gun, he genuinely seems to have matured here...........shame his dress sense hasnt become more mature, but i guess u cant have it all.
