Rapper and actor
Ice Cube shows off his softer side in this
family-friendly
comedy.
Nick Persons (
Ice Cube) is a dealer in sports collectibles who has fallen for beautiful executive
Suzanne Kingston (
Nia Long). However,
Nick discovers he has a bigger task than just winning her over --
Suzanne is a divorced mother with two children,
Lindsey (
Aleisha Allen) and
Kevin (
Philip Daniel Bolden), and the kids don't believe any man besides their father is fit for their mother to date. Even though
Nick doesn't care much for kids, he's eager to win
Lindsey and
Kevin over to score points with
Suzanne, and so when business commitments threaten to strand
Suzanne in Vancouver without her children for New Year's Eve,
Nick volunteers to escort them. But when
Nick is bumped from an airline flight due to a corkscrew in his pocket, he's forced to drive the kids to Canada, and
Lindsey and
Kevin see this as a golden opportunity to make life very difficult for
Nick.
Ice Cube served as both star and producer for this project. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
