Review of Gleason

Gleason (2002 TV Movie)
9/10
Faithful Representation
27 August 2023
I really enjoyed this biography as it provided insight into Jackie's childhood and why he became the man he did.

I think it was helpful for me to already be a Honeymooners fan and had seen all the episodes at least 20 times each I've the years as I was introduced to the series back in the 70's.

The movie provided a faithful representation of the Honeymooners set and many bits in the skits which I thought was enjoyable.

It didn't go into why the show was canceled after 2 seasons which was disappointing. But overall the movie was entertaining and it also showed a little background as to how Audrey Meadows was cast as Alice.

Also wanted to mention that the acting choices, especially for the leads, were were impeccable. I don't think they could've been any better.
