Or, “The Further Whitewashing of David Mamet’s Sexual Perversity in Chicago,” this time with an all-black cast. The promise of talented Will Gluck’s (Fired Up, Easy A) name attached as producer never materialized. Leaning on the okay 1986 film version About Last Night… (give or take an ellipses) rather than …
The ever-present Kevin Hart lends his crinkly voice to George, a feckless (and neckless) budding comic book artist who teams up with classmate Harold (Thomas Middleditch) to hypnotize their elementary school principal (Ed Helms) into thinking he’s an infantile superhero.

Faith-based marital counseling for a tritely imagined fictional couple. Even if the ecclesiasticism doesn’t much intrude, the film presents its case so poorly you might find yourself rooting for the black husband (the charismatic Morris Chestnut) to run off with the white divorcee (Maeve Quinlan). Based on the novel by …
The appeal of Ice Cube (Trespass, Three Kings) as an action star began to thaw somewhere around the time of Torque and the two Are We Disinterested Yet? kidpics. Drive Along is enough to put the freeze on any man’s career, preferably that belonging to Mr. Cube's co-star, chatterbox Kevin …
In a rare slip, critic Scott Marks suggested that the original Ride Along was" enough to put the freeze on any man’s career." Instead, it pulled $134 million domestic on a $25 million budget. So what do you know, there's a sequel. Ice Cube and Kevin Hart return, as does …
