One of television's most beloved sitcoms gets an overhaul for the big screen in this comedy. Ralph Kramden (
Cedric the Entertainer) is a New York City bus driver who has great ambitions and plans to make something of himself one day. However, Ralph's big ideas usually take the form of half-baked get-rich-quick schemes which invariably fail, much to the chagrin of his long-suffering wife, Alice (
Gabrielle Union). But Ralph always has a loyal ally in his best friend and upstairs neighbor, Ed Norton (
Mike Epps), a sewer worker who also has a wife who is weary of his antics, Trixie (
Regina Hall). Alice and Trixie have a plan to come up with the down payment for a dream house: a suburban duplex that's being eyed by a shady developer (
Eric Stoltz). But when Ralph and Ed decide to spend their savings on training a stray mutt for the New Jersey dog races, they threaten both couples' futures. Based on the classic
Jackie Gleason and
Art Carney series, The Honeymooners also stars
John Leguizamo. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
