How Would You Feel If Hollywood Decides To Do A "Lucy" Movie? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

JamesG · 02-03-2008, 09:31 PM

Personally, if they ever say that they will try to remake "Lucy" for the big screen I hope they get hit by a bus. They ruined Bewitched and they definitely ruined The Honeymooners with that garbage movie. I also have the feeling the I Dream Of Jeannine movie they have been talking about is not going to be any better.

STAY AWAY FROM LUCY!! Do not even attempt it!! Anyone agree?

diiiiiiitto.
you just can't mess with a classic like i love lucy.

Mikado · 02-04-2008, 06:12 AM

I think they know better than to make a "Lucy" movie WITHOUT Lucy...............but, then again, they DID remake Laurel & Hardy a few years back 0.o !!!!

If they are to be the same way the tv movies were made; they better stay away from the idea.

The ONLY way I'd like to seen an I Love Lucy Movie and the ONLY way I'd like to see if an I Love Lucy Movie is if it's done with Suzanne Larusch, who in my opinion is the BEST Lucy impersonator there is. She has been doing Lucy for over 15 years and was on The Next Best Thing! There are also a a couple of really wonderfully talented Vivian Vance/Ethel Mertz impersonators, as well as an awesome/amazing Desi Arnaz/Ricky Ricardo & William Frawley/Fred Mertz impersonators.

I also thought the two Lucy tv movies were bad, and there was talk of a big screen one with Julia Roberts playing Lucy years ago, but that's all ended now. I also agree that they always ruin the subject matter, even remakes of regular movies suck, look at what they did to Yours Mine and Ours. So you can imagine what they would do to the greatest tv show of all time.

comedyfreak · 02-04-2008, 10:45 PM

They don't need to do anymore they've already did two.

SPLAIN · 02-05-2008, 10:03 AM

Yeah, but those TWO were lousy so it would be great to see a good one for a change.

Bill S. · 02-05-2008, 03:50 PM

If this idea is even so much as proposed, I'll be the first one there with a picket sign. After that poor excuse for a Honeymooners movie, I just can't bare to see another great series treated like that. Could you imagine who they'd get to star in it? With Hollywood these days, we might end up getting Jackie Chan as Ricky.

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.
