Throwing Produce is a Foodie Moment: Kevin Hart interview – RIDE ALONG
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor This was my first opportunity to come face to face with Philly’s own Kevin Hart! It took place at the red carpet premiere of Ride Along, his new buddy/action/cop comedy co-starring Ice Cube. Ride Along is directed by Tim Story (Barber Shop, Think Like A Man) it’s about a security guard, Ben (Kevin Hart) who’s in love with a really cute sistah (Tika Sumpter) and sister to police detective James Payton (Ice Cube).

What A: RUSH (Directed by Ron Howard)

But I would think…
