Honeymooners remake bombs in US

The all-black re-make of the classic Jackie Gleason TV series The Honeymooners, shot in Ireland, has bombed at the Stateside Box Office with a dismal opening week-end take of just $5m.

Directed by John Schultz, produced by David T. Friendly (who did Pierce Brosnan's Laws of Attraction) and starring Mike Epps and Cedric the Entertainer, the film was universally panned by the critics.
