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

Chauncey Street, where the Kramdens and Nortons lived, never looked so good as depicted by the famous series with Jackie Gleason. Even though the movie is in color, Ralph and Alice don't exactly look like their apartment is lacking. The original apartment told the story in a nutshell.Alice, in this movie, is far too sophisticated for the role. When she talks, it sounds like she could be a psychologist or social worker, despite lacking the educational requirements.Cedric is adequate but of course is never in the same league as the great Gleason. Ditto for Michael Epps, his interpretation of the Ed Norton character doesn't hold a candle to Art Carney.The writing here is silly;although, the Kramdens of the 2000s still have high aspirations, and Ed and Ralph will still come up with any scheme possible to fulfill those dreams. Of course, their vulnerability still exists.

I will not understand Hollywoods obsession with making over old TV shows geared towards younger people. I don't want to sound like my grandfather, but why not just make a movie about two people with get rich quick schemes? Why do they feel the need to sully the classic that is the Honeymooners when almost every kid in America who saw this movie had no idea it was a remake of a good TV show. It was almost like when Gus Van Sant decided to redo Psycho. I went to see it in the theater because I was such a fan of the original. And half the kids in the audience thought they had come to see a slasher movie. They had no idea of its origin and that bothers me. Just like they are going to 'update' Have Gun Will Travel. A movie based on the 50's TV series with Eminem in the lead. Are these people kidding me?!

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
