Looking Back on Yesteryear: Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins


In the month of February of last year (Feb. 8 2008), the premiere of Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (Rated PG-13) came to a theater near you. This hilarious comedy starring Martin Lawrence, Cedric the Entertainer, Mo'Nique, Michael Clarke Duncan, Mike Epps, and James Earl Jones is a must see for those who love to laugh.

Martin Lawrence plays famous talk-show host, RJ Stevens, who gains acclaim for his book entitled "The Team of Me." His philosophy has kept him distant from his family as he built his own success from the ground up. But when he returns to his home for his parents 50th Anniversary & family reunion, he comes back to a tough-loving family that raised him and reminds him to never forget where you've come from.

The Critical Critics Review has an opposite critique from my own that may be worth taking a look. Side Note: Check out their grading scale; it's the shiznit!

This comedy about the power of family is one you may want to add in your collection or rent at your local Blockbuster or Netflix.
