Big Al

Al Buck (known as "Big Al") is the main antagonist of the 2005 film Are We There Yet?. He is portrayed by M.C. Gainey.

He is a well-meaning truck driver who thinks Nick Persons has kidnapped the children Kevin and Lindsay Kingston. Lindsay messages him across the way, "Help us!" , Big Al nods and calls one of his buddies, and he forces Nick off the road, down a big hill, through a muddy tree-filled forest, and to a lake's edge, where he pretty much loses it.

After Nick's car is destroyed,  the trio try to hitch a ride from Big Al, but he leaves Nick behind and drives off. But luckily the kids attack Al and beat him up in the truck and they escape, leading to a chase that ends when in Vancouver, where Nick fights Al, along with several men dressed as snowmen. He then apologizes to Nick and offers Nick a ride home...until they both notice Al's truck being towed away. He is later arrested.
