Ride Along (2014)
1/10
Sad, Not Funny
20 May 2014
The writer's need to get out of Hollywood and get a real life. Beginning scene of black high school athlete following some loser white dude into something dumb is about as likely as flying pigs. Opening scenes with car chases weaving through pedestrian traffic with 180 degree spins accompanied with guns-a-blazing & leaping acrobatics is so tiresomely old that a good nap was in order during it all. Made worse by being overly fakey. Then add an even more tiresome cliché of a run in with stereotyped bikers. A lot of Tyler Perry style black face "lack of humor" that does more harm than help in destroying stereotypes. Usual Eastern European bad guys selling stuff from a dockside warehouse (where it all eventually ends in shootout - of course). Predictable cop and wannabe cop get it together.

The whole movie was as imaginative as a cheap, without anything, burger.
