This evening Muff and I enjoyed the sneak peek of a new movie featuring one of my favorite comedians, Martin Lawrence. Mr. Lawrence is no stranger to good comedies, having starred in box office hits like Badboys 1 & 2. In this movie, he plays Roscoe Jenkins or should I say, R.J. Stevens, megastar talk show host who returns home for his parents 50th anniversary. But coming home is not an easy thing. First, he's engaged to a model of a wife (Joy Bryant) who may have her own motives. Second, his family showed him tough love when he was a child. He'll find out that being a succesful adult, doesn't change anything. Last but not least, his first crush has returned to his life (Nicole Ari Parker) along with his child hood nemesis of a cousin (Cedric the Entertainer). Roscoe sets out to prove to his family that he's no longer the wimpy kid that always got picked on. That he is a star!!! But will this new attitude of his backfire and end up costing him what he needs the most...his family?
With an all-star cast that includes Monique, James Earl Jones, Micheal Clark Duncan and Mike Epps (who seems to be Day-Day in every movie he plays in)...the laughter keeps on coming. My favorite moments without spoiling the movie are Martin vs Monique...ASS WHOOPIN' and the obstacle course race in which Martin and Cedric lose their minds trying to win the damn thing.
Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins...a well rounded comedy with family values done by my man Martin Lawrence. Don't hesitate to take your wife & kids to see this one. You won't be dissapointed...I wasn't.
Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins. Ratings = Blaze aka great piff!
