Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Three blind plumbers are shown mistaking the woods for the house, but in another scene they work correctly on the pipes. A diverse group of neighbors visit Nick and Suzanne with welcome gifts. When a tattooed, Goth-looking family visits, Nick says: "Thanks, and leave before I call the cops." Several Hawaiian characters are obese. The movie's overall theme is that a "house is not a home." When Nick embraces his new role as stepfather and father-to-be, his family and his home come together.
  • Violence & scariness:

    Loads of pratfalls and other cartoonish physical gags.
  • Sexy stuff:

    A 13-year-old wears tight, revealing, clothes. She sneaks out of her house to go to a party with an older boy. They dance, hug, and hold hands. Nick and Suzanne hug and kiss in bed after she alludes to "breaking in the house." Suzanne gives birth to twins at home, and Nick faints after checking under her skirt.
  • Language:

    Not much: "sucka," "weird," "I hate you."
  • Consumerism:

    Minor: Nick wears various college jerseys and T-shirts; Suzanne has a Louis Vuitton bag.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Nick does two shots and downs a beer at a bar when he finds out he's having twins. People drink mixed drinks at a party.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Are We Done Yet?

Parents need to know that this sequel to Are We There Yet? follows a blended family in which there's significant tension between the stepfather and kids. Like most family comedies, there are dozens of sight gags and pratfalls. Three blind plumbers and two obese Hawaiian subcontractors are competent workers -- which makes their unnecessarily stereotypical depictions even more obvious. A 13-year-old girl is portrayed as boy crazy and wears revealing outfits in a couple of scenes. She also flirts and sneaks out to party with an older teenage construction worker. Mom Suzanne has a discreet homebirth, although her husband passes out after checking to see whether the baby has crowned.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how the media portrays blended families. Is Nick's relationship with his stepkids realistic? What kinds of issues do blended families face in real life? Families can also discuss the media's take on kids' transition into full-blown adolescence. How is Lindsey similar to and different from 13-year-olds you know? Why is Nick so upset about the way she dresses? Parents and kids can also talk about stereotypes. How does the movie portray Hawaiian people and the blind? Is it funny or offensive? Why?

    • Inappropriate sexual content

    Aproppriate, but not that great of a movie.

    This was an OK movie but I can't say it was great. The one thing folks might be concerned about is that the older sister tries to be really sexy and is boy-crazed. There was drinking, but I beleive it was only drinken by characters that were over the age of 21.

    WORST MOVIE OF MY LIFE!

    I loved "Are we There Yet?" You cheap *******'s at the studios gave us cheap laughs, the Cheaper by the Dozen laughs, and the construction workers sucked at what they did best. What HOPE DOES THAT GIVE KIDS?!?!?! A horrible, awful sequel not worth your time and money.

    Can I have my hour and a half back?????

    Even my 3 year old got bored watching this movie. The trailer for the movie shows all the funny parts and is 10 times more entertaining than the movie. It tries way too hard and does not deliver. I was embarrassed for the actors. The writers, director and editors should know better, or maybe they were just counting on actors way too much. Either way don't waste your time with this one.

    Are We Done With Unwatchable Sequels Yet?

    It's a shame that when I went to see this movie in the theaters, it was packed. This movie was terrible beyond all belief, and although kids ages 4-7 will enjoy the physical gags, everyone over that age will just groan at all the stupid jokes that barely make sense. I would definitely not rent this movie if you're looking for a good family film, much less anything else.

    you'll be asking yourself the same question while watching.

    "Are We Done Yet?" is a boring, stupid, and disgusting movie that is for kids, but terrible. don't waste your money. my little 5 year old sister loves every movie she sees but she hated this. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.

    Ice slips through your fingers.

    Ice cube is as unconvincing as ever. In this disapointing sequel to (a already revolting) "Are we there yet." Most of the scenes are glossely unreal but the one that ccomes to mind is Ice Cube deciding to take his new son fishing. just don't see it.
