Movie Review: ‘Ride Along’ is Just an ‘Unfunny Cop Comedy and a Very Unimpressive Kevin Hart Vehicle’
The movie made more than $40 million in its first weekend, a January record. So MTV made a mistake because Hart brings people to the show, right? Maybe. But keep in mind that with “Ride Along,” Hart undeniably got people to purchase a movie ticket that can’t be easily refunded. MTV, meanwhile, needed to keep people from changing the channel. And there were several points during “Ride Along” when I wish I could have changed the channel on Hart.
