Ride Along had an absolute stormer of an opening weekend in the States, breaking previous January records by pulling in $41.2 million and no doubt shifting some of those January blues!! On this side of the pond we’re going to have to wait until March 7th, but in the meantime here’s the latest trailer and some new images to tide us over until then. Ice Cube is just so watchable, and while he’s playing a role he can probably do in his sleep at this stage, he is still hilarious! And the same can be said for Kevin Hart. From what I’ve seen this is one to mark onto the calendars!
Synopsis: Kevin Hart and Ice Cube lead the lineup in Ride Along, the new film from the director and the producer of the blockbuster comedy Think Like a Man. When a fast-talking guy joins his girlfriend’s brother—a hot-tempered cop—to patrol the streets of Atlanta, he gets entangled in the officer’s latest case. Now, in order to prove that he deserves his future bride, he must survive the most insane 24 hours of his life.
For the past two years, high-school security guard Ben (Hart) has been trying to show decorated APD detective James (Cube) that he’s more than just a video-game junkie who’s unworthy of James’ sister, Angela (Tika Sumpter). When Ben finally gets accepted into the academy, he thinks he’s earned the seasoned policeman’s respect and asks for his blessing to marry Angela.Knowing that a ride along will demonstrate if Ben has what it takes to take care of his sister, James invites him on a shift designed to scare the hell out of the trainee. But when the wild night leads them to the most notorious criminal in the city, James will find that his new partner’s rapid-fire mouth is just as dangerous as the bullets speeding at it.
