	The Honeymooners (2005) Movie Review - RopeofSilicon.com
		The Honeymooners is a Paramount Pictures release directed by John Schultz and was released in theaters on June 10, 2005.
		Let's further assume that one day we'll use that planet to dump all the movies that were merely a blip on the radar, their mediocrity so overwhelming that you'd forgotten all about them on the drive home from seeing them.
		And that's the definition of a lifeless movie.

	The Honeymooners (2005 movie) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Honeymooners is a 2005 comedy film, directed by John Schultz.
		It is based on the groundbreaking TV series of the same name, which was also "remade" as The Flintstones.
		While they are trying to achieve this, Alice and Trixie make ends meet by waitressing at the local diner.

	MOVIE REVIEW - THE HONEYMOONERS - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		The almost-all-remake, almost-all-the-time studio delivers the worst of its current onslaught of updates with The Honeymooners, a dim and dull morsel that's a true act of disrespect to the memories of Jackie Gleason and Art Carney.
		Unsurprisingly, the result is a movie that comes off as a string of clumsily connected skits that would play to listless effect on the small screen; the big screen simply magnifies the lack of humour.
		With today's political correctness in mind, the filmmakers heavily strip The Honeymooners of the over-the-top domestic unrest that was a strong point of the TV show (Ralph's "to the moon" threat toward Alice here mutates to a cooing romantic blandishment).

	Movie Review: The Honeymooners (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		They won't be dislodged from our memories by the glossy new movie "The Honeymooners," which takes Gleason's most famous creation — the domestic adventures of Ralph Kramden, New York City bus driver — and transforms it into the usual TV-series-knockoff movie mush.
		In the movie, Ralph's dream involves a bidding war over a suburban home with a slimy real estate speculator (Eric Stoltz) and doomed get-rich-quick schemes such as the purchase of a vintage subway train car, dog-racing with a greyhound Norton rescues from a dumpster, and even some panhandling and performance art.
		What went wrong with the movie is amply displayed in a scene where Ralph nefariously spices up the dinner of his mouthy mother-in-law (Carol Woods) to make her sick and is then forced to eat the stuff himself.

	LaFountaine: âThe Honeymoonersâ Movie
		The movie story involved the following: âNo, instead of wanting to knock her block off, New York City bus driver Ralph Kramden (Cedric the Entertainer) sweetly offers to take his soon-to-be longsuffering wife, Alice (Gabrielle Union), to the moon, promising her he'll be making it very big very soon.
		I give this movie a âC+â, and it is the worth of an admission ticket, a small popcorn and a small soft drink.
		The movie had its moments for comedy, but Gabreille Union and Mike Epps were weak in their roles.

	The Honeymooners review (2005) Cedric the Entertainer - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
		The Honeymooners movie is directly based on that television show, but it's further removed from the spirit of its source material than many of its imitators.
		The only real correlation between the movie and television show are the names and occupations of the central characters, and to some degree, their physicality.
		The only thing keeping this from sinking right to the bottom of the movie barrel is the fact that they were able to limit this fiasco to just 85 minutes in length.

	Zap2it.com - Movie review - The Honeymooners
		Probably somebody could write a fascinating African-American update on "The Honeymooners," a savvy comedy built around the idea that the dreams of upward mobility that spurred the get-rich-quick schemes of Jackie Gleason's lower-middle-class Ralph Kramden in the 1950s are only today becoming viable for lower-middle-class minorities.
		Given, however, that simple comedy seems beyond the grasp of John Schultz's entirely unnecessary "Honeymooners" adaptation, social satire appears to be a bit too much to ask.
		Although the trip to the track allows John Leguizamo to pop up in a vivid, if derivative, cameo as a fast-talking trainer, it proves to be a lengthy Shaggy Dog tale, distracting from the plot's absence of substance.

	Hour.ca - Film - Movie details - Honeymooners (The)
		After watching the premier not for one moment did this movie remind me of the original "honeymooners" when I was sitting in the theater.
		This movie is entertaining but could have been setup as a TV special for a family evening with the kids.
		I dunno but I am excited to see the recreation of the great fl and white classic television show "The Honeymooner's." Sure it comes from a bygone era where there was the little woman in the kitchen waiting to serve her husband.

	It's over for inane, ignorant 'Honeymooners' - The Boston Globe
		That Alice would tolerate this man only makes her look stupid, and the movie is never funny or appealing enough to distract you from the incongruity.
		On television, babes married to obnoxious fat dudes is less absurd, principally because, over the course of a season, a show can ingratiate itself enough for an audience not to mind that Jim Belushi, Kevin James, Mark Addy, and Rodney Carrington are less attractive than their TV wives.
		This is Cedric's seventh movie in a year, and his bellowing, jiggling, hippity-hoppity shtick stopped entertaining me some time ago.

		For the record, however, "The Honeymooners" is based on the classic CBS television series that starred Jackie Gleason and Art Carney.
		The word most likely to be associated with "The Honeymooners" is "misery." The film stumbles from one level of pain to another.
		Of the movie's two laughs, one was probably on the page while the other definitely evolved from the physicality of Cedric and Epps.

		In the 1950s, "The Honeymooners" helped establish the most rancid cliché in American comedy -- the irresponsible husband with the long-suffering, much smarter wife who always forgives him for being a selfish jackass.
		Directed on auto-pilot by John Schultz ( "Like Mike," "Drive Me Crazy"), this "Honeymooners" is the mind-numbing, half-hearted culmination of every comedy of the last 50 years that considered its ending a happy one when a woman who deserves better takes back an insincere man who has sabotaged the relationship then apologized, but hasn't changed.
		The movie's only sparkle comes from a brief nutzo performance by John Leguizamo as a scam-artist dog trainer who helps Ralph and Ed get their greyhound entered into a race that leads to the movie's climax.

		Unsurprisingly, the result is a movie that comes off as a string of clumsily connected skits that would play to listless effect on the small screen; the big screen magnifies the lack of humor.
		With his ability to play loud, loutish and lovable at the same time, Cedric was as good a choice as any to resurrect blowhard Ralph Kramden, a New York City bus driver who endlessly concocts harebrained get-rich-quick schemes when he's not bickering with wife Alice (Union).
		With today's political correctness in mind, the filmmakers heavily strip "The Honeymooners" of the over-the-top domestic unrest that was a strong point of the TV show.

	TheMovieBoy Review - The Honeymooners (2005)
		This isn't the worst movie of the year—it isn't even the worst comedy of the year—but it may be one of the blandest.
		Since none of the writing quartet were able to muster up one standout joke or genuinely funny moment, not to mention a storyline worthy of audiences spending up to ten bucks per ticket, it further proves just how unnecessary and hopeless the project was from the start.
		"The Honeymooners" isn't as unctuous as it could have been (the song choices are chosen for appropriateness rather than wall-to-wall R&B and rap songs out to sell soundtrack albums), but it's pretty lame all the same.

		The cast is great in their reading lines and playing their parts, but the film itself wasn't depicting the 1950s that made the original Honeymooners such a successful offering of the times.
		The 2005 The Honeymooners is a low-grade, low-rent film that imitates the classic television show, placing it in modern times and hoping that the show's remaining cult following can motivate the movie-going teenagers to check it out for the nine dollars in their wallets.
		The problem with the 2005 The Honeymooners is that it plays out like three or four episodes of the original show.

	Hollywood reels from box office slump - May. 11, 2005
		At the same time, movies have become exorbitantly expensive to market and distribute, and the growth of in-theater advertising, rising ticket prices and disruptive cell phones have made movie-going far less enjoyable.
		One notable difference this year: The top studios have collectively released about eight fewer films this year and are on track to finish the year with a total 126 releases, or about a dozen less than in 2004, according to Exhibitor Relations.
		The movie, said Pandya, "didn't open in 3,000 theaters like everything else." Lions Gate Films, the film's distributor, decided to do a smaller release on the hope the film will find a bigger audience with DVD sales.

		Based on the groundbreaking TV series, The Honeymooners is the story of two best friends, bus driver Ralph Kramden (Cedric the Entertainer) and sewer worker Ed Norton (Epps) who hatch a get-rich-quick scheme to get them out of Brooklyn and onto easy street.
		The Honeymooners isn't the worst of the endless spate of TV rehashes, but it still feels perfunctory.
		John Schultz's wan, unfunny The Honeymooners is unlikely to tickle devotees of Jackie Gleason's archetypal yuk-fest.

	Movie Review - The Honeymooners - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider
		Anyone who loves "The Honeymooners" does so because of Jackie Gleason, because of the nostalgic charm of watching a simple mid-'50s sitcom, because they first loved it as a child and enjoy revisiting it.
		Yet the big-screen version has changed the characters from white to fl and set it in 2005 -- which means it's not "The Honeymooners" anymore; it's just a movie about a bickering married couple.
		Ed (Mike Epps) and Trixie (Regina Hall) are the upstairs neighbors whose marriage is tranquil compared to the Kramdens'.

		Maybe in another 50 years, a remake of Honeymooners (2005) will be available that they have been able to revitalize through a proper script that has some life in the story.
		The Negatives-This movie seems so rushed and seems no effort was but into the script and it shows in the humour quality as this movie delivers a couple of funny lines but mostly drags for most of the movie.
		What I really hate this movie for is that they took the story from a classic tv show of the 1950's with an American white cast and turned it into a fl cast for a motion picture in 2005.

		When you strip golden-age TV comedy The Honeymooners of its cast — blustering Jackie Gleason, tart-tongued Audrey Meadows, giddy Art Carney and level-headed Joyce Randolph — all that's left is a domestic sitcom about two lower-middle class couples.
		A pioneering sitcom, to be sure, but the conventions it pioneered are so old they're almost due to come out the other side of hoary cliche.

		The Honeymooners have inspired countless movies and TV shows since then, ('The Flintstones'; being a primary example) so the movie is just going to feel like something we've already seen a million times...
		The new Bewitched movie synopsis is about them making a remake of the old series and the gal they get for the Samantha part (Kidman), based on her resemblance to Montgomery, turns out to really be a witch.
		The Bewitched movie is also going to flop due to two things: number one is an awful script and number two is bad casting.

	The Honeymooners Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Jackie Gleason must be rolling over in his grave that Cedric the Entertainer is mangling New York City bus driver Ralph Kramden, the role he made famous.
		Even those of us who didn't particularly love Gleason—it's hard to like a man who physically threatens a woman and calls it comedy, even 50 years later—can appreciate the landmark that was the original Honeymooners.
		As Dodge, the none-too-subtly named guy who does everything from siphon gas to train greyhounds, Leguizamo is the movie's single highlight.

		Though the revamped Ralph gets hacked off from time to time, Cedric doesn't even attempt the ranting familiar to any lover of the original CBS series — a single-season gem that became one of TV's crown jewels, thanks to word-of-mouth over decades.
		At least the idea of a fl Honeymooners is more inspired than the fact that it has been remade at all, then updated with political correctness, and Ralph and neighbor Ed Norton (Mike Epps) are now almost middle-class Brooklynites instead of the nearly impoverished bus driver and sewer worker they were.
		Take away the financial strain that informed every episode and the honeymoon is over.
