It's the sequel to the blockbuster action comedy that launched the pairing of Hollywood's newest and hottest comedy duo: Kevin Hart and Ice Cube.

"This franchise works because of the chemistry between me and Kevin," said Ice Cube, "and the storyline and everyone can relate to a brother hating his sister's fiancé."

The dealer is played by Benjamin Bratt.

Actress Tika Sumpter is back again as Ben's fiancee Angela.

Olivia Munn joins the cast as a Miami homicide detective.

"It feels like I was at a family pool party every day and that's how it was on the set," said Munn. "You kind of feel that this experience is what you hope for in life, you know ?
