Critic Reviews

Lawrence Toppman

It honors the tone of that wonderful comedy while setting it in present-day New York City. Read full review

Walter Addiego

The Honeymooners isn't the worst of the endless spate of TV rehashes, but it still feels perfunctory. Read full review

Joe Leydon

Just funny enough to mollify purists and amuse the uninitiated. Read full review

Jami Bernard

Cedric 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. Read full review

Kirk Honeycutt

A lackluster affair, devoid of laughs and just about anything else one might construe as entertainment. Read full review

Mark Holcomb

Desson Thomson

These reviewers are expecting Jackie Gleason and 1950's storylines. This movie does little more than take pre-existing characters and sets them in the modern time.

This movie does little more than take pre-existing characters and sets them in the modern time. The problem is that the jokes from the 1950's series don't work today, and especially not without the timing of Gleason and Carney, and the incomparable Audrey Meadows. The movie was a bad idea. If we get past the story, John Legiuzamo has some great moments as does Mike Epps. As for the women, I was unimpressed. This movie isn't great, and it's barely entertaining, but it's better than people are saying.… Expand
