DVD Reviews of Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (Widescreen)

DVD Review: FUNNY!
Summary: 5 Stars

I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I DIDN'T HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR HOWEVER, THIS MOVIE HAD ME CRACKING UP. I CAN'T REMEMBER LAUGHING SO HARD. MONIQUE WAS AWESOME AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE CAST

DVD Review: Great Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

I found the movie to be very entertaining and funny. Martin Lawrence just keeps getting better and better... Monique was hilarious. Kudos to everyone in the film.

DVD Review: What A Riot
Summary: 5 Stars

A real funny movie about all the unique persons who make up a family the things that drive them apart and what brings them together. Under the surface of what seems to be a strong bond lurks constant competition, resentment and pets that should seek therapy. Martin Lawrence,Mike Epps, Mo'Nique, Michael Clarke Duncan, Cedric the Entertainer together in the same movie give nothing but laughter after laughter.

DVD Review: LOL!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie was indeed the best comedy I've seen this year....I laughed so hard so many times. Monique, Martin and Cedric did a great job. I would recommend this movie to my whole family including my dogs....hahaha!

DVD Review: Hysterical Laughter
Summary: 5 Stars

I laughed throughout the whole movie. Martin Lawrence, Monique and Mike Epps are fools. There are some serious moments that touch the heart. I can watch this movie over and over.

Description of Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (Widescreen)

While its story might sound terribly interesting, Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins is largely a vehicle for gross-out sight gags and grotesque performances by performers who, in many cases, don't need to do such things. Martin Lawrence stars as R.J. Stevens, a successful, Jerry Springer-like, television talk show host who sets aside his perfect life with a sweet son (Damani Roberts) and celebrity girlfriend (Joy Bryant) to attend his parents' golden wedding anniversary back home in Georgia. From the moment he arrives, all the reasons R.J. left to reinvent himself on the West Coast become clear. His siblings and cousins (Mike Epps, Mo'Nique, Michael Clarke Duncan, Cedric the Entertainer) quickly put him in his place, reminding him that his name is actually Roscoe Jenkins. His sweet mother (Margaret Avery) watches impassively while R.J.'s dad (James Earl Jones) strikes one disapproving note after another. R.J. would be content to wait out the anniversary events and go home, but the arrival of a woman (Nicole Ari Parker) he loved but couldn't keep during his adolescence changes everything, bringing out the competitive survivor within. Written and directed by Malcolm D. Lee (Undercover Brother), Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins promises rich comedy and dramatic flavorings, as well as a bunch of delightful actors doing what only they can do best. But Lee subverts the project for cheap and easy laughs, using his best material to do little else than bridge scenes of bad slapstick, bestial perversity, clownish sex and irritating, motormouth rants from the likes of Mo'Nique and Epps. This a hard movie to sit through at 114 minutes, one of those what-were-they-thinking-when-they-made-this films. --Tom Keogh
