24 HOURS. 350 MILES. HIS GIRLFRIEND’S KIDS. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
Nick Persons (Ice Cube) agrees to take his girlfriendās (Nia Long) kids to Vancouver to help her out, but he hates kids and they plan to make him disappear out of their lives. One of those horrible family comedies that want to be both hilarious and cute but end up tasteless and tiresome. Mostly jokes about torturing Ice Cube and ruining his SUV. Yawn. Heās OK, but hardly carries the film. These three people do learn to like each other, but itās easy to resist the sugar.
