From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Honeymooners is a 2005 comedy film, directed by John Schultz. It is based on the groundbreaking TV series of the same name, which also inspired television shows such as as The Flintstones. It was heavily panned by both critics and fans of the original series (though noted film critic Roger Ebert was surprisingly one of the few to praise it).

[edit] Plot

The Kramdens and the Nortons are working-class neighbors, with bus driver Ralph Kramden and sewage worker Ed Norton being best friends. They are constantly coming up with new schemes to get rich quick, with Ralph being the mastermind. Their "schemes" involve the races, the lottery, and metal-detecting.

The driving forces behind their get-rich-quick schemes are their wives, Trixie and Alice, and both Ralph and Ed are trying to make enough money so they can afford the homes they think they deserve. While they are trying to achieve this, Alice and Trixie make ends meet by waitressing at the local diner.

Tagline: Dream big. Scheme bigger.
