Ride Along 2 wasn’t exactly winning any awards for originality, but it had the right mix of comedy and action to entertain. Critics might say it’s a predictable buddy cop flick with jokes that fall flat, but audiences ate it up. Grossing $124 million against a $40 million budget, it proved that Kevin Hart and Ice Cube's chemistry still worked. Directed by Tim Story in 2016, it wasn’t as much of a surprise hit as the first Ride Along, but it still managed to pack in the laughs.
