The Honeymooners Reviews

It could be part-autobiographical for director John Schultz who blunders through a tediously half-baked plot and fails to make it pay off.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 30, 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.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 18, 2005

Four screenwriters, including veteran 온라인카지노추천 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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 18, 2005

The comedy wannabe has the lamest, most predictable banter of any recent movie.

| Original Score: D | Jun 18, 2005

The real problem is that the Kramdens' precarious financial situation, which gave the original its poignant frisson, is sidestepped.

| Jun 14, 2005

I like the cast. They're very talented, they're really funny, they have a dreadful script to work with.

Deserves to be sent straight to the moon.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 10, 2005

John Leguizamo steals the show as its sleazy trainer -- not that there's much to steal from John Schultz's joylessly schematic paycheck.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 10, 2005

There's plenty of space up there for a colony of mediocre filmmakers. That's right, folks. To the moon. Bang! Zoom!

| Jun 10, 2005

Blame it all on the Bad Guys, those Hollywood suits who think by committee and never met a focus group they didn't like. This is product, pure and simple.

| Jun 10, 2005

The lunar destination aims far too high. This misbegotten movie heads straight for the dogs and the sewer, literally so.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 10, 2005

Cedric the Entertainer comes close to sharing Gleason's gift for, well, entertaining. He's the biggest reason this version of The Honeymooners is such an amusing surprise.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 10, 2005

Cannibalizing old programs has become a reflex action in Tinseltown, and as a result, audience expectations are low. It must be hard to resist the temptation to live down to them.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 10, 2005

A bland, dull and only occasionally funny waste of time that will very soon be gathering dust in the remainder bins.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 10, 2005

The honeymoon is over.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 10, 2005

Why? Why would someone do this? How did we get here, watching mediocre remakes of classic 1950s sitcoms? What is the meaning of it all? Does cinema have a purpose beyond supporting the theater-concessions industry?

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 10, 2005

If not for a few interludes of lively riffing by John Leguizamo, playing a dog trainer and all-around hustler named Dodge, there would be nothing funny about any of this.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 10, 2005

There have been funnier comedies. But there also have been far worse reasons to make a movie. Or remake a sitcom.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 10, 2005

The best thing that can be said about the new Honeymooners is that it respects its elders: It plays like an episode of the show. The worst thing is that it plays like an episode of the show.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 10, 2005

It's as if the movie is half Honeymooners remake and half typical weak comedy, which doesn't add up to a whole lot of anything.
