About The Honeymooners

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

  • 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?

    Good Rental

    This is another one to watch at home. It's cute. A little slow and very predictable at times, but a nice family movie. Rent it and see for yourself.

    POW Alice! To the MOON!!

    Having grown up watching Art Carney and Jackie Gleason in 'The Honeymooners' I found myself making comparisons between the movie remake and the original program. Cedric portrayed Gleason, and Epps, Carney almost to the 'T' but for the occasional sexual innuendo. No matter how homophobic they may be, they always seem to save the day by proving their love to their respective spouses and rectifying their bumbling throughout the movie. On my laugh-o-meter I would rank it a 6 (out of 10).
