Ralph Kramden (Cedric the Entertainer) drives a bus in New York City but dreams of something more. Unfortunately, none of Ralph's business ideas -- which often incorporate his best friend, Ed (Mike Epps) -- have panned out. Knowing their husbands will never get them out of the city, Ralph's wife, Alice (Gabrielle Union), and Ed's wife, Trixie (Regina Hall), pool their savings to purchase a house in the suburbs. But once the men find out about the secret stash, they might just blow it all.

It could be part-autobiographical for director John Schultz who blunders through a tediously half-baked plot and fails to make it pay off. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg Zap2it.com 06/18/2005

Rather than putting a modern stamp on a reliable product, The Honeymooners renders one of the most distinctive formulas in television history entirely anonymous. Go to Full Review Marrit Ingman Austin Chronicle 06/18/2005

Four screenwriters, including veteran TV producer Danny Jacobson, have cobbled together a script so rickety that it could itself pass as one of Ralph Kramden's harebrained get-rich schemes. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison The List 04/26/2019

The Honeymooners isn't awful, but it is pure sitcom fodder. Go to Full Review Joshua Starnes ComingSoon.net 03/22/2011

There are two ways to look at the big-screen adaptation of The Honeymooners - as an adaptation of the show, and as a film in it's own right. Either way it's a film that occasionally works, but never manages more than that. Go to Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com 06/14/2009

The script (credited to four screenwriters) uses a plethora of already-dated urban inside humor that reeks of pandering. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

alan g @agenser 11/26/2024 Horrible pointless remake of beloved 50s sitcom. Jackie and the rest of the cast are spinning in their graves. Who thought Cedric the non entertainer can act. Mugging is not acting. Stick to stand up. See more 04/07/2022 A horrifying remake of a 50's sitcom. Putting the title of "The Honeymooners" on this awful film makes it even worse, trying to cash in on a well-known name. Horrible writing, bad acting, I could never get through more than a few minutes without speeding forward for the next horrible scene. See more 07/18/2021 Terrible! Ralph would not be trying to save his house in NYC. He'd be in the projects.This whole story is way bigger than Ralph Kramden would ever conceive. Ralph Kramden was a little fish in a big pond...living in a puddle. I don't know what this movie is but the only thing it has in common with the Honeymooners series is the names and Ralph and Norton's jobs. See more 02/21/2021 The greatest version of The Honeymooners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 08/05/2020 Pointlessly quick and apparently pitifully inferior to the sitcom it was updating for the newer generation who would only come for the cast, namely Cedric the Entertainer and Mike Epps' antics being occasionally funny to signify the picture is not a total wasteful failure that is more definitively generic without outstanding distinction. (B-) See more 03/09/2018 I watched this movie because i was too lazy to reach for my remote. It was so offensive that i, a person too lazy to reach for a remote, felt compelled to share my disappointment. The worst part was not the bad movie itself but the offensiveness of the main character. Like i'm supposed to be feeling for this guy? He's a crappy friend a terrible husband and thats being forgiving of his general stupidity which I can understand as a method to create drama. how morally bankrupt was the script writer to think that any of this behavior is acceptable and relateable. i mean im not morally conservative by any stretch but this guy is a huge ass. Everything about this movie is offensive to society and represents men and himans in a bad light See more Read all reviews
