Pretty Good

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

While I was never a huge fan of the original television series, I found myself growing more and more nostalgic for it with each frame of this wretched remake. Having been a fan of Cedric the Entertainer in some of his other venues, I was terribly disappointed that his Ralph Kramden never seemed to have the spark of the original. Gleason, to his credit, always seemed to have the slow burn and the eventual eruption down to a science. The Ed Norton character always seemed the sweetly naive friend with the droll sense of humor-- all of which fails miserably in this remake. I wonder if this film would have been more successful if the studio just jettisoned the original characters and gave us a fresh batch. There was just too much baggage from the original series. (On her worst day, Gabrielle Union would be no match for the sarcastic put-downs of Audrey Meadows.) Watch the original on DVD instead. You'll thank me later.

Based on the TV series, The Honeymooners is the film about two best friends, bus driver Ralph Kramden (Cedric the Entertainer) and sewer worker Ed Norton (Mike Epps) who try to make a lot of money to get them out of Brooklyn and onto easy street. Standing by their husbands are wives Alice (Gabrielle Union) and Trixie (Regina Hall), who help their guys make ends meet by waitressing at a neighborhood diner.I wasn't around for the T.V. show, so I know nothing about it. There has been a lot of talk into why there is a black cast and either names have changed, I don't know. I remember in the summer when this movie came out. I wasn't a blockbuster hit, and the critics weren't buying it. I remember how people said this was a terrible movie. After I watched it, I have to disagree. After I watched this movie, I was thinking, what was so bad about this movie? It's actually not that bad like others say. I was just an "OK" movie to me. I'm not gonna say that this is a good movie. I laughed a couple scenes.The Honeymooners probably won't be a movie that I would want to watch again, but if I have to, I just may. I think some people could see this movie. Again, I know nothing about the T.V. show, maybe the fans of the show will be mad, but oh well. I'd give this a 6.5/10

When I say this is the worst movie ever made, I seriously mean it! I'm not going to waste my time on this review, so I'll make it short. The Honeymooners is was my favorite show growing up, and it was ruined. Cedric the Entertainer as Raulph! I still think it's a nightmare. First of all, Jackie Gleason is dead. So the perfect ode to his remembrance was to make a film with an all black cast? Okay, not to sound racist, because I am not, but that show deserved a white cast. Why? Because THAT'S WHAT IT WAS WHEN IT WAS MADE!Here's an idea, remake the movie Boyz in the Hood ... but give the lead role to Larry the Cable Guy co-starring Jeff Foxworthy and Ben Stiller. Get the picture?All in all, The Honeymooners was the most terrible movie I've ever seen, thanks again, Hollywood, for ruining my favorite program.

Do not be fooled by the ratings shown in IMDb. This is a nice, funny movie just like it is supposed to be. Cedric The Entertainer and Mike Epps are really good. Perhaps you would like to see Gabrielle Union in more serious projects especially after the "Something The Lord Made" (I know I do). Regina Hall is cute as always. I liked it in its own way. I am really trying to understand you guys why you hate this movie so much and why you give a dead-serious crappy movie called "Are We There Yet?" 4.1 rating. I mean HAVE A HEART!!!. First of all, you cannot expect miracles from these sort of movies. They are not masterpieces of cinema. They are cash-cows of Hollywood Film Industry. The leads are not real actors. They are entertainers (Hence, Cedric The Entertainer). Second of all, it is not a good movie, but definitely not a bad one either. And it utterly and totally much much better than "Are We There Yet?". Third, I just cannot believe that you could be so cruel and vicious, it is breaking my heart. Just for that reason, I am going to give this movie 10 points so its rating could rise a bit against "Are We There Yet?" (4.1) which is the crappiest movie of all times.
