A tiresome ride
"Ride Along 2" (PG-13), a tiresome follow-up to 2014's Kevin Hart/Ice Cube anti-buddy cop comedy, is (occasionally) fun and (entirely) silly in a lowest-common-denominator way. It can support itself, largely thanks to Cube's gruff slow burn and Hart's madcap timing. This chapter aims higher — too high, frankly — as they are assigned to break up a Miami drug ring. The ideas seem to be on loan from a museum of tired comedy tropes. Yet there are entertaining moments.
