Are We There Yet Star Aleisha Allen Recreates Movie Moment in Honor of the Film’s 20th Anniversary: ‘So Crazy’

Aleisha Allen is taking a stroll down memory lane.

The actress, 33, shared a post on Instagram on Jan. 21, in which she recreated a movie moment from Are We There Yet?, as she marked the film’s 20th anniversary.

The post featured an animated image, which transitioned between a photo of Allen as her character Lindsey Kingston in the 2005 family film and another of herself recreating the moment more recently.

In both photographs, Allen wore a white winter hat with multicolored polka dots, a white knitted scarf and a pink jacket, while standing in front of a train.

Other slides featured in Allen’s post included a funny scene involving a marker and a notepad from Are We There Yet? — which Allen also paid tribute to — as well as solo versions of her 2025 train station selfie and the still she remade.

Are We There Yet? starred Allen as the daughter of Nia Long’s Suzanne Kingston, who, along with her brother Kevin Kingston (Philip Bolden) go on a road trip with their mom’s latest boyfriend Nick Persons, played by Ice Cube, when hijinks — and hilarity — ensue.

The film’s success launched a 2007 sequel and a television spinoff series, which ran from June 2010 to March 2013 on TBS.

In the caption of her post, Allen spoke about the film’s anniversary and reflected on its legacy. “As of TODAY, y’all have known this girl, ‘Lindsey,’ for 20 YEARS!!!! ‘Are We There Yet?’ premiered on January 21, 2005. So crazy!!! (How could that be, when I’m only 21?! 😉🤣),” she began.

Describing her character of Lindsey as “dynamic, sharp, fearless, protective, funny and steadfast,” Allen continued, “She’s the kind of character that has longevity, had a solid arc of character development for a preteen, and I am honored she was mine to play, in both films.”

As for her “fun little recreation” of Lindsey after two decades, Allen said, “It was really trippy putting on this costume again 😵‍💫 lol.”

She added that she used “the SAME BACKPACK and MARKER” for the recreations she included in her Instagram post.

Then detailing that she has “lots of fond memories from this project,” Allen — who currently has a master’s degree in speech-language pathology — asked her followers of her sassy character, “What career do you think she would have now? 🤔 (Better yet, which country do you think she’d be running? 😂).”

“Thank you SO much for watching for all these, many, years and for sharing in the joys of this nostalgia with me. 🥰 (Y’all getting old 😆😜),” she concluded.
