This is a terribly miscast film that should never have been made in the first place. The real shame is all the actos involved a very talented people, but this is taking them out of their element and giving them nothing to work with.
The cast, lets talk about the African-American cast: I think the studio intended to cash in on a wider audience thinking that this way "Honey Mooners" fans and blacks would come see it-it is the major error in the string of errors. What appears to have happened is they appealed to some of the smaller audience, and annoyed the larger.
lets face it, its a cinematic turd and a disgrace to the late great Jackie Gleason. Just another bad idea about giving a possibly good idea an URBAN EDGE. let us not forget wild wild west, what an abortion that was, again such bad memory i have, i totaly forgot Jim West was a arogant punk black man. well i must go, i'm on my way to FOX to pitch my idea about remaking Sanford and Son staring Leslie Nealson and David Spade...
Picture them coming out with "Good Times" starring Eminem as J.J., Goldie Hawn as Flo, and John Goodman as Bookman etc. There would be a protest outside of theaters! That's what they did here though, they made the movie with no reverence for what T.V.s first hit sitcom was really about.
