The Honeymooners movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: 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. Read more
Peter Debruge, Miami Herald: It's as if whenever The Honeymooners comes close to delivering on a funny idea, the movie runs screaming in the opposite direction. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: Though the patterns are there, the laughs aren't, mostly because the writing is so lazy and formulaic. Read more
Ted Fry, Seattle Times: 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. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: I like the cast. They're very talented, they're really funny, they have a dreadful script to work with. Read more
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic: This laughless attempt to modernize the Kramdens and Nortons is somewhat akin to sacrilege, as it waters down the characters and strips them of their unforgettable quirks and tics. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: It's not as bad as the average Hollywood movie, it's stupendously worse. Read more
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times: John Leguizamo steals the show as its sleazy trainer -- not that there's much to steal from John Schultz's joylessly schematic paycheck. Read more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: 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? Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: There have been funnier comedies. But there also have been far worse reasons to make a movie. Or remake a sitcom. Read more
Scott Brown, Entertainment Weekly: So...why remake this, again? Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: The comedy wannabe has the lamest, most predictable banter of any recent movie. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: A couple of bursts of inspired physical comedy notwithstanding, the normally unflappable Cedric (who also executive-produced) goes through the film plastered with a how'd-I-get-myself-into-this look on his face -- as does the audience. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: A get-rich-quick picture about a guy with get-rich-quick dreams. The moon may shine high over Ralph Kramden's New York City, but sights are set depressingly low in the studio schemes of Hollywood. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: The funny stuff is too scattered to forgive the buffoonish storyline. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: The honeymoon is over. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Superfluous though it may be, The Honeymooners is not so bad. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: The gags in this don't just feel played. They're exhausted. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: A surprise and a delight, a movie that escapes the fate of weary TV retreads and creates characters that remember the originals, yes, but also stand on their own. Read more
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle: 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. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: What The Honeymooners does well, it does very well. The trouble is, it doesn't do enough of what it does well. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: 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. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: The lunar destination aims far too high. This misbegotten movie heads straight for the dogs and the sewer, literally so. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: Cedric and Epps have none of the team chemistry Gleason shared with Art Carney, and Epps' Norton displays none of Carney's eccentricities. Read more
Mark Holcomb, Village Voice: The real problem is that the Kramdens' precarious financial situation, which gave the original its poignant frisson, is sidestepped. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: There's plenty of space up there for a colony of mediocre filmmakers. That's right, folks. To the moon. Bang! Zoom! Read more
Teresa Wiltz, Washington Post: 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. Read more
