Kevin Hart Is Funny In New ‘Ride Along’ Trailer

 

Universal Pictures released the new trailer to the very funny action-comedy “Ride Along,” starring Ice Cube, Kevin Hart, John Leguizamo, Bruce McGill, Tika Sumpter, Bryan Callen and Laurence Fishburne.

Hart and Cube lead the lineup in “Ride Along,” the new film from the director Tim Story, who also directed and produced  the blockbuster comedy “Think Like a Man.”

For the past two years, high-school security guard Ben (Hart) has been trying to prove that he is man enough to marry his girlfriend Angela (Sumpter), who also happens to be the sister of  a hard-nosed, no nonsense APD detective named James (Cube). And when Ben finally gets accepted into the academy, he thinks now is the best time to ask for James’ blessings to marry Angela.

Knowing that a ride along will prove if Ben has what it takes to care for his sister, James entangles Ben in his latest case to see if he can survive.

“Ride Along” hits theaters January 17, 2014.

'Ride Along' Theatrical Trailer

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
