Editorial Review:
When Leta (Melissa De Sousa) gets a job as an assistant to a big-time rap video director, she doesn't realize her duties will consist of chaperoning a bus full of would-be rap stars from Harlem. Ride follows this collection of hip-hop misfits on a smelly, broken-down charter bus that they have to take to get to Miami for a video shoot in 24 hours. Naturally, there's bickering, breakdowns, impromptu jam sessions, and a lot of bonding. Leta finds an ally in Poppa (Malik Yoba), an old friend of the music producer who wants to start a program for youth in the inner city. Meanwhile, Poppa's younger brother has stolen a backpack full of money from a couple of thieves who are not happy about it and are tracking him down--but story isn't really the point in Ride. This is a movie about elaborate insults and verbal riffs, a nonstop flow of talk ranging from the bad-girl back and forth of a female rap duo to the crazed mixture of bragging and trash from the middle-aged bus drivers who cast an unfazed eye at these aspiring ghetto stars. Fleshed out with scatological humor, loony dream sequences, and a soundtrack featuring the Wu-Tang Clan, Onyx, and Naughty by Nature, Ride is slapdash but entertaining. Also featuring cameos from Snoop Doggy Dog, Dr. Dre, Downtown Julie Brown, Redman, and others. --Bret Fetzer

Movie that u want to watch till end and don't get bored. Black slang talk really makes u laugh. Would like that movie would be little longer when all things leave half way. Music rocks behind and makes u feel happy.
In this movie it was fun seeing a bunch of people driving to Miami to do a music video.
Rating:  - GET OFF THE BUS
Ride is a road comedy that you don't want to take a trip to the video store for. Without a solid script or director this Ride turns into a bus wreck on film. The story is so full of plotholes you'll want to get off this bus before the first twenty minutes of the film.
An aspiring music director (Melissa De Sousa) desperate for a break makes a deal with her greasy boss (Downtown Julie Brown) to bus down a star's (Luther Campbell) talent to Florida for a music video. The group of "entertainers" ... Read More
Rating:  - It was alright but nothin' special
I thought the movie would be really fun to watch I mean CEDRIC THE ENTERTAINER & BERNIE MAC and on top of that FREDRO STARR & MALIK YOBA.
All the people I mention did great work, but the movie it self weren't that well-written and couldv'e been much better however it was a pretty funny movie.
I bought the European Version and missed out on the 4 musicvideos that are as a bonus in the american edition and that pissed me off a little.
The soundtrack is better than the movie, but ... Read More
Rating:  - GREAT MUSIC
Though the movie was very predictable, the music was great! Some of the storyline was so stupid it actually made it funny. Again clearly the star was the music of DUNN PEARSON!!
Rating:  - The most ridiculously stupid movie
A movie with a so called "righteous black man" and some students he takes to Florida the possibility of making in entertainment only in the end to buy into the sterotype of black entertainers.
