 Are We There Yet?
comment
Are We There Yet? is a 2005 comedy film about Nick Persons (Ice Cube), a swinging bachelor who falls for Suzanne (Nia Long), a beautiful businesswoman and divorced mother with 2 bratty kids, Lindsey and Kevin. Suzanne has to go to a business meeting in Vancouver and asks Nick to bring her kids. But her two kids do not like Nick and purposefully sabotage their trip in order to split Nick and Suzanne apart. Throughout the trip, Nick and the kids clash repeatedly, but end up bonding.The film was followed up by a sequel Are We Done Yet?, where he and the family move to a new house in desperate need of repair, and spun-off a TV series also named Are We There Yet?, set in a different continuity and with different actors. The show has Nick (now played by Terry Crews) as a successful sports talk show host with the kids' bad behavior significantly toned down. His wife Suzanne's (played by Essence Atkins) bossiness and stubborn manner provides the greatest source of conflict within the show. Cube is a producer to the series, and has a role as Suzanne's brother.

Despite her sassiness and occasional picking on her younger brother, Lindsey wasn't actually wrong when she called Nick out for giving Kevin a corkscrew as a "gift", not only because it's an object dangerous for children to use but also because it is illegal to bring on planes. Since Kevin brought it along on their way to the airport and chose to hide it inside Nick's pocket, this resulted in them being forced out of the building.

Companion Cube: Kevin's Galaktico figure to the point where he refuses to leave the ignited car without finding it. It's because he keeps his asthma inhaler in the figure's leg. Nick also has his bobble head Satch but the bobblehead is (to him) alive and acts as a conscience.

Kevin, for ditching the corkscrew Nick gave to him inside his pocket. For this, Nick is mistaken for a murderer and tackled to the ground by security guards, leading to the trio being forced out of the airport and forced to travel to Vancouver by land. Later, he throws up on the windshield of Nick's car, nearly causing an accident and forcing Nick to stop in the woods for another few hours.

Kids Play Match Breaker: Lindsey and Kevin scare away all of their mother’s dates so she can get back together with their dad. At the beginning of the movie, they set up a trap for one unlucky suitor that ends in him being covered in glue and trapped in a Santa blow-up. When Nick is left with them, they terrorize him to nip any potential romance he might have with their mom in the bud. They lie that he kidnapped them to strangers, locked him out of his car, and even hopped a train to get away from him.

Jerkass Has a Point: Despite her sassiness and occasional picking on her younger brother, Lindsey wasn't actually wrong when she called Nick out for giving Kevin a corkscrew as a "gift", not only because it's an object dangerous for children to use but also because it is illegal to bring on planes. Since Kevin brought it along on their way to the airport and chose to hide it inside Nick's pocket, this resulted in them being forced out of the building. Although firing Danny and his brothers because of a party they threw with Lindsey in attendance was a petty whim on his part, Nick was totally on point in scolding both Lindsey, whom he still treats as a kid, and Danny for not asking him permission in the first place. Even Danny knows Nick is right when he comes back to apologize and begs him to hire them back to fix his house.

Bonding over Missing Parents: When Lindsey and Kevin see through a window that their father is not sick, and with a woman and infant implied to be his new wife and child, they realize that he was lying so he does not have to see them. When Nick finds out, he reveals how his own father abandoned him while comforting the two. Lindsey and Kevin eventually come to terms with the fact that their father does not want them in his life and learn to accept Nick as their new father figure.

Lindsey, for pretending to be kidnapped and causing the truckers to attack Nick, and later, taking a picture of the deer that Nick and Kevin feed with the flash on, causing it to attack Nick and make him drop his keys, which leads to him accidentally setting his car on fire.

All for Nothing
 Are We There Yet? / int_aed65980
comment
All for Nothing: Lindsey and Kevin's bratty, troublemaking behavior is because the two want to keep all men away from their mother in the hopes that she and their father can reconcile. Despite it being clear she doesn't want anything to do with him anymore, they're determined to make their goal a reality and give Nick nothing but trouble even when he's trying his best to get along with them. They finally ditch him and arrive at their father's house, where they discover he was lying about being sick and is in fact remarried with a new baby, not even noticing the two outside his window watching in. By the next scene, they've finally given up on him and their hopes of their parents reconciling, realizing that they wasted all their time driving away their mother's boyfriends for an impossible goal.

Everyone Has Standards: While Nick (understandably) couldn't stand Kevin and Lindsey, even he feels bad for them when they find out their dad abandoned them.

Rage Breaking Point: In the sequel, Nick finally loses his patience with Chuck when the latter tells him that their house needs a new foundation, chasing him with a wooden stick and firing him on the spot.

Freudian Excuse
 Are We There Yet? / int_c868a42a
comment
Freudian Excuse: Nick's attitude can easily be summed up when he tells the kids his own father left him just as theirs did. His child hating attitude is probably him not wanting to be reminded of that happening when he was their age.

First Father Wins
 Are We There Yet? / int_d47f35de
comment
First Father Wins: Deconstructed. Lindsey and Kevin Kingston greatly adore their divorced father, Frank, and made it their mission to chase away their mother, Suzanne's, boyfriends until their parents reunite. However, it's evident that their mother has no interest in reconnecting with their father; when Suzanne is talking on the phone with Frank, who claimed he was sick so he could not pick up their children, she protests that he has not spent time with them since Labor Day, and while they're arguing, he just hangs up on her. This implies that Frank has not stayed in contact with his ex-wife and children after the divorce. Lindsey and Kevin run away from Nick Persons, their mother's friend, when they learn he is interested in Suzanne and decide to go to their father's house, believing they can get their parents to fall in love again. When they arrive, however, they see through a window that Frank is not sick but, in fact, with a new family. Lindsey and Kevin finally realize that their father was lying to them so he could cut them out of his life. Even Nick, who was understandably angry with their antics, is sympathetic when he learns this and assures them that it was not their fault because their father is losing out on having his children in his life. Though painful, Lindsey and Kevin accept that their father does not want them around anymore and bond with Nick as their new father figure.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here
 Are We There Yet? / int_d9cf40fa
comment
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Chuck's constant sense of humor becomes the final straw for Nick to fire him, accusing him of not taking the new house's fixings seriously and calling it "a mess". In response, Chuck sadly leaves, though not before telling Nick that if he can't appreciate the difference between a house and a home, then maybe he wasn't "his guy" (more accurately, his contractor). The rest of the building crew quit as well out of loyalty to Chuck. A blind member lampshades this to an appalled Nick when he notices it.

Asthma Peril: Kevin has asthma and keeps his inhaler inside a large superhero action figure. After they reach Vancouver, Kevin has an asthma attack while at the ice rink and Nick saves him by administering his inhaler, eventually proving to Suzanne that Nick really cares for her kids.

Brick Joke: At the end of the second movie, a ladder falls on to the front of Nick's car, smashing the windscreen to bits. This trope applies as the first movie was centered around his original car being destroyed by the kids.

Innocently Insensitive: Downplayed. Mr. Rooney, who was passing by at the Persons household, asks Nick how Chuck is doing. Nick replies that he doesn't know and doesn't care. Of course, Rooney is kept in the dark about Chuck's firing by Nick, who immediately takes back this statement when he is told that Ellie, Chuck's wife and a famous singer, died a few years ago, inspiring Nick to personally apologize to him and hire him back.
