‘Ride Along 2’ Trailer: The Brothers In Law Hit Miami
If you thought thatKevin Hartalready proved that he was worthy of the love ofIce Cube’s sister (Tika Sumpter) inRide Along, think again. Just because Ben Barber (Hart) gained a little common ground with man of the law James Payton (Cube) doesn’t mean the latter is ready to become brothers-in-law, whether it’s through marriage or at the police station.
But when a drug trafficking problem requires some serious attention in Miami, for some reason Ben is allowed to tag along with James, making for his own tropical training day to prove his worth as a viable husband and police officer. Like most comedy sequels, it’s basically the same formula repeated again with slightly different jokes, and this newRide Along 2trailer doesn’t do anything to make us think otherwise.
Here’s the newRide Along 2trailer from Universal Pictures:
There’s a lot of mediocre stuff in this trailer, from the slapstick ceiling fan gag to Kevin Hart accidentally shooting someone again. But it’s a little frustrating to see that caliber of humor when there’s evidence of some decent writing here, especially with that ringtone scene.
But maybeKen Jeongwill add enough obnoxious flair to make this a little different than the first one (even though he only works in small doses). Plus, we’ve gotOlivia Munnfor Hart to piss off right along with Ice Cube, so surely he’ll be getting slapped across the face by her a couple times throughout this case.
Meanwhile, the bad guy this time is played byBenjamin Bratt, while another villain of sorts steps up in the form ofSherri Shepherdas an intimidating wedding planner. As you can see, the stakes are pretty high.
Tim Storyreturns to direct with a script from the first film’s writersPhil HayandMatt Manfredi– the duo who also brought us the cinematic gem that wasR.I.P.D., not to mention the trainwreck of a remake that wasClash of the Titans, and Jackie Chan’sThe Tuxedo.
