REVIEW OF "I LOVE LUCY, THE MOVIE"

Well, after a 2 year wait, it's finally here, the big screen version of small screen classic that started it all, I love Lucy. Of course the story has been modernised with a few minor changes:
Newlywed couple Ricky and Lucy Wong (Jackie Chan & Britney Spears) both dream of a career in show business and see their chance when Ricky gets a gig as a Chinese acrobat in the NY version of Cirque du Soleil; the movie is mainly about how he schemes and backbites his way up the ladder to become lead acrobat despite his ditzy blonde wife who spends all her time stoned and trying to sleep her way to the top; forgetting to tell her husband that she's pregnant. (The climax of the movie is the part where she bribes special guest star Kevin Federline (playing himself) to RAP "we're having a baby" to her husband, just as he's about to do the biggest acrobatic stunt of his career.)
Soon the couple moves into an apartment owned by retired couple Fred & Ernie Mertz (John Goodman & Ted Danson) who were once big stars on the gay cabaret circuit , famous for doing their impressions of Lucille Ball & Shelly Long, respectively. The 4 develop a fast friendship, until a 52 inch wide screen HD TV comes between them.

2hrs42mins Rated R for violence and language

You forgot the punchline though. After the birth of Ricky and Lucy Wong's Child, Ricky says in the Chinese accent that Lucy loves to mock, "You know two Wong's don't make it white."

LMAO @ all of that being associated with I Love Lucy. That's hilarious! Let's just hope some desperate screenwriter doesn't come across this thread though...

Yeah.. with them all being on strike Hollywood might be really desperate for ideas. We better get screen credit at least.

Haven't been able to get any in YEARS now, some things NEVER change. But my offer for some Lucy things still stands though, LOL! Where do YOU live again?

Niagara Falls area I went to see them in the Forum a long time ago, they won 7-6 on an OT goal!

No! They need to leave Lucy alone! As you all said before they screwed up the re-made classics to the point of nausea! Look at what they did to the Leave It To Beaver movie as well. They didn't even stick with the correct era for "Corn Sakes"! Beaver with a computer. GMAFB! UGH! They will just screw it all up and Lucy deserves better!

I'd love to see it done if Lucy's relatives were behind it and in on it, like or any big hardcore Lucy fan. I'd also like to see any or the surviving cast and crew members involved.

They should pick a year in the 1950s and shouldn't use anything after the year that they chose. Here's another question, if ans when they decided to film the movie, what would you like to see it in, color or black and white? I think if and when it ever did get made and got released onto DVD, that could be an option, like on the Lucy's Lost Moments DVD, where they give you a choice to either watch the color feature or the black and white feature.

If they wanted to make a biography type movie about Lucy, Desi, Fred & Viv and how the show came about, that would be acceptable (So long as they used the facts, not a lot of made up stuff (as in the Buddy Holly Story<A total pack of lies), but, NEVER make the show itself into a movie, NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always envisioned a ten part series on PBS, God knows Lucy and the gang had enough material for something that involved. One part could deal with each subject. Personal life, tv pioneers, seperate careers, volume of work, Desilu studios, friends and family and the dreaded END of marriage and end of life for both.
