Flicks, Giles Hardie
flicksAre you Australian? Then apparently you won't go and see Ride Along. That's according to distributors who think cinema-goers outside of North America won't watch a comedy predominantly starring African American actors. It's a theory worth testing, but it will require a higher quality effort to do so.

pressCan you be physically assaulted by a comedy? Anything might seem possible after enduring Kevin Hart's jackhammer performance...
Time Out
pressSaddled with an uninvolving plot, and largely content to coast on cop-movie clichés.
The Guardian
pressRomantic chemistry is rare in the movies, comic chemistry rarer still, and sadly there isn't much on offer in this action buddy comedy.
The Dissolve
pressHart’s manic comic invention and textured persona elevates it somewhere beyond the level of pleasing mediocrity onto the slightly more distinguished realm of the agreeable-enough time waster.
