    USA Today Mike Clark

    A pitiful update that saddles poor Cedric the Entertainer with the unenviable task of taking over Jackie Gleason's premier creation, Ralph Kramden.

    The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt

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

    Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington

    The movie suffers from a devastating flaw for a comedy: It isn't very funny.

    Los Angeles Times Carina Chocano

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

    Entertainment Weekly Scott Brown

    Epps has a nicely beaten charm to him -- among the leads, he alone looks like he knows what a trip to the moon costs.

    Just funny enough to mollify purists and amuse the uninitiated.

    Superfluous though it may be, The Honeymooners is not so bad.

    Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

    The movie's story actually does work as a story and not simply as a wheezy Hollywood formula. Sometimes you walk into a movie with quiet dread and walk out with quiet delight.

For Families provided by Common Sense Media

Iffy for 12+

Yet another needless remake...save your money.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this movie includes some raunchy innuendo ("I do my best work down below!"), antics in the sewer, an illegal entry and multiple lies, especially between husbands and wives.

  • Families can talk about the Kramdens' apparently different goals (she wants a house, he wants to be a successful entrepreneur), as these cause tensions. How does Ralph's friendship with Norton affect his marriage and vice versa? Why is it important to respect other people's aspirations and feelings? How might Ralph and Norton be nicer to their dog, Iggy?
