Thanks for the memories!
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
The acting in this movie is really good.
A study in prejudice, not of anyone in the movie, but of all outraged fanboys giving this one star. Yeah, they sure pre-judged this flick. Guys, its not that bad. After seeing the competent sets and acting and cinematography, I was ready to blame the script. What else would account for all the hate? But the script is pretty good, downright clever, and a really smart vamp off of the old TV show. The real problem must be that neither fat or black sells very well at the box office. Imagine John Goodman as Ralph and I doubt it would have done better. Blowhard fat guy might work for him as a secondary character in The Big Lebowski, but its can't carry a movie. So maybe go art film and use Rosie O'donnell as Ralph in an interracial lesbian marriage. That's pretty topical, Palme d'Or material to boot.Well, we saw what happened with Ghostbusters, so why trade racism for misogyny in the fanboys? Lets pretend its the first day of shooting and we have to Winston Wolfe this film. Fat and black don't sell, so I would go with pretty and black, and make the film center on the two female leads. Don't fall victim to Cedric's "thang" and stop finding amusement in a fat guy dancing. I know its PG-13, but why pass up the chance for social commentary, so lets have Ralph deal drugs for fast cash. We can all laugh along as he gets wired on crank and bounces off the walls, and then switches to heroin and passes out driving the bus, so he turns to LSD and spends the rest of the film waving a lit cigarette in front of his face. Funny funny stuff. In the end we can have Alice save the day by pimping some schoolgirls-- "Hose 'em off and check their beepers Trixie!" Funny funny stuff.The film can focus on how Alice holds everything together and saves the day. Gyrrll power, yeah, more topical yet. And no need to trade one flavor of racism for another, let Leguizamo be Norton, either with a black wife, or get Susan Boyle to play Trixie. 85 million domestic box and think of the action figure revenue. The Ralph Kramden accessory kit with hypos and crack pipes and eyedroppers should bring in 3 million alone.
For all of you bad critics.I've been looking at the comments people make on movies such as "Dough Boys" and "Never Die Alone" and all I have to say to the bad critics is a few comments. Most of you who rate these movies based on it's cinematic beauty and character, never take the time to view it for what it was meant. These movies are all great in my book, one being because they are things that I have seen since I was 8 years old and still see today, so I can relate to them. Which is what they are, stories that are told for the enjoyment of people who can relate to them and to show those who cannot, the reality that these characters lived in relation to real life situations.But since we have a lot of people who were born with silver spoons in their mouth trying to make their voices be the base of the percussion line, they can and will never see it that way. Every time they watch a movie their looking at the camera detail, the acting to be 10 stars, the story to be about white houses with picket fences and a happy ending under a rainbow, while we who relate to the story always think the movie was great because it speaks for us, it lets everyone who see's it know that these things do happen, regardless of it's budget and cinematography.So to all you bad movie critics, My advice to you is to stop watching these movies that you cannot relate to, or just stop being a critic and just keep it to yourself.Amsterdam, Holland
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
Honeymooners yeah. I really liked this movie. Although real-movie-serious-f*ckers wouldn't like this, I do. It was pretty funny. Not like HAHA funny but HEHE funny. Cedric the entertainer is good as always, Mike Epps even better, as his best. Regina And Gabrielle looking fine. A great remake i think. Great jokes and a good story. Heartwarming at times. I really liked stuff in the movie. The commentary is cool. and all the Special features are good. The villain is somebody you hate. I really like this movie and i think people can also do that. The soundtrack is crazy good. Recommend this movie if you like the actors. If you're emo and serious don't rent this one.Peace
