Cedric the Entertainer transforms Jackie Gleason's classic blue-collar sitcom The Honeymooners into an urban comedy. New York City bus driver Ralph Kramden (Cedric, Barbershop) lives in ...( read more  read more... )volatile bliss with his wife Alice (Gabrielle Union, Bring It On). His best friend Ed Norton (Mike Epps, Next Friday) and his wife Trixie (Regina Hall, Scary Movie) live upstairs in a cramped, dingy apartment building. Ralph and Ed get into constant trouble due to their brainless get-rich-quick schemes, including buying a Pullman train car and trying to race an abandoned greyhound--schemes which only serve to lose the money they need to buy a charming duplex on a tree-lined street. Unfortunately, there's a sleazy real-estate agent (Eric Stoltz, Pulp Fiction) who's wooing the little old lady who owns the property, so it's a race to see if Ralph and Ed can raise the money before the bill of sale gets signed. It's a shame that so many cliches had to die so that their hollow, lifeless corpses could be put on display in this formulaic excuse for a movie. Also featuring John Leguizamo (Moulin Rouge), who rattles off a string of one-liners that almost become funny through sheer velocity. --Bret Fetzer

    I quite liked this film. It didn't suffer from having loads of cliques like it could have done. I'm not familiar with the original Jackie Gleason version, so I give it the thumbs up! (although when/if I get round to seeing it, it may very well mean that stars come off)

    A Complete and Original "Tv-Show turned Movie, and Maybe that's why it was only as half as good as a normal half and hour Sit-com?

    I loved this remake!!! And not just because my cousin Mike Epps is in it; but that did help ;?}. A wonderful cast who stayed true to the original characters nuances, while yet bringing their own unique swagger to this iconic series. John Leguizamo was outright hilarious!!! A goo...( read more)d one to watch with family, wifey or that significant other!!

Deserves to be sent straight to the moon. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

Why? Why would someone do this? How did we get here, watching mediocre remakes of classic 1950s sitcoms? What is the meaning of it all? Does cinema have a purpose beyond supporting the theater-concess... full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

If not for a few interludes of lively riffing by John Leguizamo, playing a dog trainer and all-around hustler named Dodge, there would be nothing funny about any of this. full review

June 9, 2005
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

A surprise and a delight, a movie that escapes the fate of weary TV retreads and creates characters that remember the originals, yes, but also stand on their own. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Superfluous though it may be, The Honeymooners is not so bad. full review
