Ride Along 2 is the sequel to 2014’s Ride Along and is directed once again by Tim Story (Think Like a Man Too, Barbershop). Ice Cube and Kevin Hart return to their roles while Benjamin Bratt, Olivia Munn, Ken Jeong, and Tyrese Gibson join the cast.
Not content to work as a beat cop, Ben (Kevin Hart), a recent academy graduate, now aspires to be a detective like his soon-to-be brother-in-law. However, James (Ice Cube) still doesn’t think that he has what it takes for the job. With the wedding approaching, the accident-prone rookie is laser-focused on planning but wants to join his mentor on what should be a routine trip from Atlanta to Miami. At Angela’s request—and Lt. Brooks’ begrudging permission—James reluctantly takes Ben with him to Miami to follow up on a lead connected to a drug-ring case he’s been trying to crack.
On his on-screen dynamic with Hart, Ice Cube says “It starts with respect, and we respect each other’s careers and where the other is in the game today. We both play our position. Kevin doesn’t have a problem playing Boo Boo to my Yogi Bear. We maintain the right balance, chemistry and tone. He’s like my little brother, so it’s just fun.”
Ride Along 2 is rated PG.
