The Revolution Studios remake of the Cary Grant comedy “Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House” is getting an extreme makeover: Pic is now the sequel to “Are We There Yet?”
Ice Cube remains the star and Steve Carr the director, but when production begins in Vancouver in June, the comedy will be titled “Are We Done Yet?”
The studio is moving quickly to lock in deals with Nia Long, who played the single mom and Cube’s love interest in the original, and Aleisha Allen and Philip Bolden, the adolescents who accompanied Cube’s kid-phobic character on a hellish road trip.
The sequel picks up the quartet when they move from the big city to the suburbs for an idyllic life. A house renovation leads to chaos, particularly when the contractor who clashes with Cube bonds with his wife and the two kids.

I saw the first movie and thought it was pretty good. Definitely worth checking out with the kids. My only beef with the movie is that I think the two kids go a little overboard with the disrespect to the adults in the film although later the reason is given in the movie. It is always good from time to time to see Cube not playing the “angry black man” roles. Hopefully this new one should be even better.
