The fledgling romance between Nick, a playboy bachelor, and Suzanne, a divorced mother of two, is threatened by a particularly harrowing New Year's Eve. When Suzanne's work keeps her in New York City for the holiday, Nick offers to bring her kids to the city from Washington D.C. The kids, who have never liked any of the men their mom has dated, and are determined to turn the trip a nightmare for Nick.

quote
Nick Persons: [on a horse next to a moving train] I'm gonna have to hop on!
Kevin Kingston: I don't think that's a good idea!
Nick Persons: Says who?
Kevin Kingston: Says the guy who put all that junk on the road!
Nick Persons: Oh snap!
Nick Persons (Ice Cube, in only talented performance in the film) is a sweet bachelor who detests kids with a passion. A small business owner, Nick's new pride and joy is a big and shiny new SUV. As you can guess, the recurring joke in ARE WE THERE YET? is the continuing destruction of the SUV by the kids, Lindsey and Kevin Kingston (Aleisha Allen and Philip Bolden), that Nick suddenly finds himself transporting on a long car ride to help out his new girlfriend, Suzanne Kingston (Nia Long).
