I love this movie so much

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Disgusting, vulgar film that is supposedly dealing with family relations.What Martin Lawrence, who portrays successful talk-show host Roscoe Jenkins, goes home to visit his estranged family after 9 years, all hell breaks loose.Must the stereotyping of a black dysfunctional, vulgar family ensue? They are boisterous and Monique, who plays the fat sister Bette, is outright vulgar in the part. She fights like a boxer and her yelling of "get off of me," reminds me of my days as a middle school teacher, when fights broke out in the hallway among students. Monique had better calm down this year as talk continues that she may be vying for a best supporting actress nomination for her vulgar mother role in "Precious."As far as this film, we are constantly subjected to fighting, screaming and even seeing Roscoe's poodle having intercourse with an old family dog.It takes this trip for Roscoe to realize the true meaning of family. Do we have to see all the nonsense ensuing? He realizes that his girlfriend is a phony and that his son is yearning for family cohesiveness.Nice to see Margaret Avery, Shug in 1985's "The Color Purple," in this film. She adds some dignity to an absolutely classless film. James Earl Jones does have his presence felt as the patriarch of the family.

Firstly, ignore the low rating. It's obvious that welcome home Roscoe Jenkins is very underrated. It has everything you need in a comedy, it has a hilarious familiar cast, it's just full of laughs and fun. Martin Laurence did wonderfully and Mike Epps was Hesterical.The title seems cheesy and typical, but the movie it self were far from that. The movie even becomes touching towards the end. A great one for a more mature family. I say that because the movie is not just another "cheaper by the dozen" most jokes are more for older people, and some scenes are not all appropriate for your young ones. What makes the film so great is it's execution, it's lines and it's just simple fun to watch. A family get's re united, so you can already imagine the laugh's your going to get already. Martin Laurence (Roscoe) returns back to were he grew up, he's off coarse successful and he comes back to his cousins, who are a nice delight to watch. Mike Epps doesn't stop delivering some nice laughs. He plays his role nicely. The rest of the cast were good too.A typical family? well you will see your usual arguments and a whole lot of fighting! A great fun funny flick that will keep you laughing from start to finish. Go see it.

This is a terribly disappointing movie. With such a well-known cast I was expecting something with a great deal more substance. I'll admit that the overall message of depending on family regardless of differences and personalities is a respectable message, however, the means certainly did not justify the end in this case. The unrestrained (and unnecessary) profanity, explicit sex scenes (with the dogs) and the rude, uncouth and vulgar mouth of Monique (who comes off as just plain ol' trashy) does not do the movie, the actors or the message any justice.Every one of these actors has portrayed highly memorable characters in other works, yet this was a break from good, wholesome fun, into raunchy, loudmouthed, predictable, almost cartoonish antics. The movie was extremely shallow.Regrettably, this movie does nothing but reinforce negative associations for the black (African-American) community. After all of the struggles put forth by civil rights activists, why would these actors go to such lengths to erode all the good that was accomplished? Seems self-defeating to me.From the caliber of these actors I expected so much more. Very disappointing.

Last year when I saw the trailer for Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins, I wasn't expecting much, I'm not a fan by any means with Martin Lawrence. When I looked at the rating here on IMDb at the time of it's theatrical release, it was low, I wasn't sure if that's because people just had low expectations or if it really was that bad of a movie. So I decided to wait for the rental. Well I watched it the other day and honestly Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins is not as bad as I was expecting, I laughed more than a few times. I think the problem with it is that we have all seen this film before. The script is also semi-insulting with the stereotypes, so I can understand why a lot of people hate this movie, but I think everyone just needs to let go with this film while watching it. The story is typical but you have to admit there are some good laughs in it.Roscoe Jenkins is a very successful man, he's a host of a new talk show and author of a self help book, everyone loves him pretty much, including his Survivor wanna be star fiancée, Bianca. But when his son wants to go to his family's big BBQ reunion down in Atlanta, Roscoe decides that it's time for them to meet his new fiancée and life. But what Bianca is not expecting is his crazy family that will just drive them crazy. But Roscoe sees an old crush with his "brother like" enemy, Clyde, flames spark up again, questioning what Roscoe's true roots are.While Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins is typical, has some interesting cast members, and can be a bit insulting, I still feel like this movie really didn't mean to hurt anyone, just to have fun and deliver a few laughs. Like I said, just this movie has been done before so many times with the crazy family and you can predict what will happen at the end, but still, I enjoyed this movie and thought it was fun at best. Just the only thing I didn't get was how the whole family picked on him about his success, I mean, I'd get into his good graces to share some that fun money he must be rolling around in, lol. But I would recommend this movie, just you have to be open to it and just have fun, I guarantee you'll get a few good laughs.5/10
