75The movie's story actually does work as a story and not simply as a wheezy Hollywood formula. Sometimes you walk into a movie with quiet dread and walk out with quiet delight.
-
75It honors the tone of that wonderful comedy while setting it in present-day New York City.
-
60Superfluous though it may be, The Honeymooners is not so bad.
-
50The Honeymooners isn't the worst of the endless spate of TV rehashes, but it still feels perfunctory.
-
50This harmless but mediocre enterprise was doomed to failure from the start. Hollywood magic can do a lot, but it can't raise the dead.
-
50Just funny enough to mollify purists and amuse the uninitiated.
-
Plays a bit better than it sounds. I miss the show's mangy, minimalist sets, but the slapdash narrative construction and good-hearted schmaltz survive intact.
-
42Epps has a nicely beaten charm to him -- among the leads, he alone looks like he knows what a trip to the moon costs.
-
40Lunchbox-toting time-waster.
-
40No less amusing than an average sitcom, but that's certainly not reason enough to buy a ticket.
-
40John Leguizamo steals the show as its sleazy trainer -- not that there's much to steal from John Schultz's joylessly schematic paycheck.
-
38The movie suffers from a devastating flaw for a comedy: It isn't very funny.
-
38What's missing is some faith in the audience's intelligence and, more importantly, the jokes.
-
38Cedric is certainly the bright spot in this movie - personable, silly and lovable, with just enough of Gleason's girth, timing and humanity to make you wish he'd driven Ralph Kramden's bus onto the lot of a different movie.
-
38At least The Honeymooners is not one of those remakes that looks bad compared to the original. It's just bad, period.
-
30A lackluster affair, devoid of laughs and just about anything else one might construe as entertainment.
-
30When a performer as sharp as Cedric the Entertainer is reduced to funny fat-guy shtick, you know you're in the presence of grinding mediocrity.
-
30This appalling multiculti upgrade of the ’50s sitcom is about as funny as a bus accident.
-
30John Schultz's wan, unfunny The Honeymooners is unlikely to tickle devotees of Jackie Gleason's archetypal yuk-fest.
-
30Though Cedric, for all his nimble portliness, is no Gleason, there's plenty of talent to be found here. Too bad it's left to fend for itself against a raging mechanical bull of a script.
-
25A bland, dull and only occasionally funny waste of time that will very soon be gathering dust in the remainder bins.
-
25This one is so bad that even Ed Norton couldn't get this mess to move through the sewer.
-
25A pitiful update that saddles poor Cedric the Entertainer with the unenviable task of taking over Jackie Gleason's premier creation, Ralph Kramden.
-
25The filmmakers have also advertised that their new movie eliminates the "Pow! Right in the kisser!" threats of spousal abuse that permeated the original series. The question of audience abuse has yet to be addressed.
-
20It’s a shame when a movie brings together so many underutilized thespians of color – even Ajay Naidu of "Office Space" is in here someplace – and gives them absolutely nothing to do.
-
12It's not as bad as the average Hollywood movie, it's stupendously worse.
-
0Suffice it to say, there is no comedy, no chemistry, no nothing in this movie.
