Critics Consensus

Ride Along 2 presents a cop-comedy sequel whose well-matched stars can't break the law of diminishing returns -- or lock up a script that unabashedly steals from the original.

If the first one was so bad why did anyone think the second would be any better?

It had some funny scenes but the first one was better I still dont think that it deserved that bad of ranking because I think that Kevin hart and ice cube did a great job but I didn't like the whole idea and script of the 2nd movie

Kevin Hart e Ice Cube juntos, não tem muito com dar errado, amo, adicionando Ken Jeong, com aquela carinha engraçadinha, carisma e ingenuidade, bem divertido, leve, completamente bobinho, e que me fez rir, o tipo de humor infantil e despretensioso que amo… Com cenas de ação absurdas, em analogia aos Games do personagem... E a trama também é boa, muito envolvente, e ficamos na expectativa pelo desfecho... Excelente produção, Cômica e agradável...

You chuckle, maybe laugh for a hot second. But you want more.

Chesapeake Family Magazine

Ride Along 2 stretches the premise of the original paper-thin ... The unlikely glee of the original is thoroughly gone this time around.

Rated: 1/5

Toronto Sun

What it does do - is allow you to park your brain in neutral for 100 minutes, laugh at some silly jokes... and then walk out of theatre and immediately forget it ever happened. And there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, it's kind of refreshing.

Rated: 3/5

A simple movie that relies on the A.B.C.'s of buddy cop movies: A.) Action. B.) Broad comedy. C.) Cleavage.

It's simply a shame to see a talented guy like Kevin Hart saddled with material that doesn't begin to live up to his immense comic range.

Rated: 2.0/4.0
