Cedric the Entertainer transforms Jackie Gleason's
classic blue-collar sitcom The Honeymooners
into an urban comedy. New York City bus driver Ralph
Kramden (Cedric, Barbershop) lives in
volatile bliss with his wife Alice (Gabrielle Union,
Bring It On). His best friend Ed Norton (Mike
Epps, Next Friday) and his wife Trixie
(Regina Hall, Scary Movie) live upstairs in a
cramped, dingy apartment building. Ralph and Ed get
into constant trouble due to their brainless
get-rich-quick schemes, including buying a Pullman
train car and trying to race an abandoned
greyhound--schemes which only serve to lose the
money they need to buy a charming duplex on a
tree-lined street. Unfortunately, there's a sleazy
real-estate agent (Eric Stoltz, Pulp Fiction)
who's wooing the little old lady who owns the
property, so it's a race to see if Ralph and Ed can
raise the money before the bill of sale gets signed.
It's a shame that so many cliches had to die so that
their hollow, lifeless corpses could be put on
display in this formulaic excuse for a movie. Also
featuring John Leguizamo (Moulin Rouge), who
rattles off a string of one-liners that almost
become funny through sheer velocity. --Bret
