			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With discussion of a fourth <em><a href="http://www.screenjunkies.com/movies/movie-lists/4-ghetto-fabulous-movies-like-friday/" target="_blank">Friday</a></em> film surfacing, it’s hard not to revisit the first installment, an irreverent comedy that also proved to be the <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tv/shows/rubicon' target='_blank'>Rubicon</a> that <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/ice-cube-913/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>Ice Cube</a> crossed going from “<a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/gangsta/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>gangster</a> rapper and dramatic actor” to “guy who plays characters who always seem to be surrounded by WAY too many kids.” As we have already witnessed Mr. Cube&#8217;s metamorphosis, let&#8217;s see how the current works of Ice Cube stack up against the image he projected in the late <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/80s/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>80&#8242;s</a> and early 90&#8242;s with <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/rap/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>rap</a> group, <a href="http://www.screenjunkies.com/movies/movie-news/john-singleton-and-ice-cube-crusading-to-make-n-w-a-biopic-straight-outta-compton/" target="_blank">N.W.A.</a></p>
<h4>Are We There Yet?</h4>
<p><em><a href="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ice.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-237104" title="ice" src="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ice.jpg" alt='' width="433" height="600" /></a></p>
<p><strong>(Lyrics)</strong><br />
Dumb ho said somethin’ that made me mad</em><br />
<em> She said somethin’ that I couldn’t believe</em><br />
<em> So I grabbed the stupid bitch by her nappy-ass weave</em><br />
<em> She started talkin’ shit, wouldn’t ya know</em><br />
<em> I reached back like a pimp and I slapped the ho</em><br />
<em> Her father jumped up and he started to shout</em><br />
<em> So I threw a right cross and knocked his old ass out</em></p>
<p><strong>(Plot Synopsis)</strong><br />
<em>In Are We There Yet?</em> Ice Cube plays Nick, a successful playboy who must take his girlfriend’s kids on a road t<a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/rip/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>rip</a> from Portland to Vancouver. However, having never liked any of their mom’s <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/boyfriends/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>boyfriends</a>, the kids are hellbent on making life difficult for Nick.</p>
<p><strong>How N.W.A is this plot? (Scale of 1-10, “10” being gangster as f#ck, and “1” being a mark-ass bitch): 2</strong></p>
<p>Sooooo many inconsistencies here. That crazy motherf#cker named Ice Cube would have <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/movies/films/taken' target='_blank'>taken</a> precisely zero shit from these kids. If they had hassled him at all, he would have tied them up at gunpoint in the back of the RV. Also, a member of N.W.A. would never find himself in <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tv/shows/the-pacific' target='_blank'>the Pacific</a> Northwest, and would certainly not be allowed to enter Canada. Finally, N.W.A. members make <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/babies-650/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>babies</a>, they don’t raise them.</p>
<h4>The Longshots</h4>
<p><em><a href="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/the-longshots_l.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-237106" title="the-longshots_l" src="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/the-longshots_l.jpg" alt='' width="450" height="337" /></a></p>
<p><strong>(Lyrics)</strong><br />
As I swung, tha fat girl fell<br />
Lyin on tha ave just like a <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/beach/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>beach</a> whale<br />
That&#8217;s tha story, it&#8217;s quite ill<br />
and all fat girls y&#8217;all besta chill<br />
All overweight freaks stay off my block<br />
Cause it&#8217;s eerie to have a fat girl on your jock</em></p>
<p><strong>(Plot Synopsis)</strong><br />
In <em>The Longshots</em>, Cube plays a down-on-his luck <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/football-194/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>football</a> star who turns his niece into the team’s quarterback. When he takes over coaching duties for the team, the misfit bunch of players find their way in the Pop Warner <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/super-bowl/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>Super Bowl</a>. His niece struggles to be accepted by her teammates and faces adversity when her deadbeat father comes back into her life after she receives national attention, as Pop Warner quarterbacks so often do.</p>
<p><strong>How N.W.A is this plot? (Scale of 1-10, “10” being gangster as f#ck, and “1” being a mark-ass bitch): 5</strong></p>
<p>I can see Cube coaching a Pop Warner football team and saying things like “Take it down the field, little man,” but I can’t ever see a member of N.W.A. being “down on their luck.” Ok. Maybe MC Ren. But it’s been my experience that members of N.W.A. generally fall into one of two camps: “Hard-as-shit G’s” or “dead.” Also, members of N.W.A. are not former <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/athletes/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>athletes</a>. They’re the guys that kill former athletes in the middle of the night.</p>
