Are We There Yet on TBS

ARE WE THERE YET? is a sitcom starring Terry Crews (Everybody Hates Chris) and Essence Atkins (Half and Half) as Nick and Suzanne, a newly married couple whose blended family struggles with the challenges of everyday life. From dealing with the complexities of life as newlyweds to weathering the storm of teenage children this series is packed with relatable moments for all families. Telma Hopkins (Family Matters) plays Nick’s mother, who isn’t happy about his marriage nor her new role as grandmother.  Keesha Sharp (Why Did I Get Married, Too?) is Suzanne’s best friend, who has a taste for men and the finer things in life.  Comedian Christian Fenigan plays Nick’s best friend and owner of a sports memorabilia store.  And Ice Cube (Boyz n the Hood), who also serves as producer, plays a recurring role as Suzanne’s SWAT officer brother.

My family had the pleasure of checking out the first three episodes of this new series from TBS. As a long time fan of Ice Cube I was excited to see him produce a series. My entire family has seen the movies “Are We There Yet” and “Are We Done Yet” which both starred Ice Cube. For some reason I thought it would pick up from where the movies ended but it did not. It takes place six months after Nick and Suzanne were married. That was ok though, it just took a minute to get used to. I was not sure if I would be able to believe Essesnce Atkins playing a mother. She looks exactly the same as she did on Smart Guy and Half & Half. It turns out she did a really good job. The entire cast did. Terry Crews really impressed me with how well he played Nick.

We all enjoyed watching it. The storyline was very easy to relate to on so many levels. From the antics the kids pulled to thoughts on parenting and married life. Are We There Yet  is funny while adding a little bit of real life problem solving into the mix. My husband and I were laughing all the way to the end of the show when the credits started up I can not wait to see where the storyline goes.

Make sure you check it on on Wednesday June 2nd when it premieres with two episodes back to back at 9 and 9:30 p.m. (ET/PT)

I was provided with a screener of this movie to review. The opinions above are solely the thoughts of my family.
