Good concept, poorly executed.

Best movie ever!

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

'Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins' is rude and crude, which you should expect from a movie with Martin Lawrence.But it's also a funny and surprisingly touching movie that mixes crude and sexual humor with a good message about how important family is.What really surprised me about the movie was the ending.In the end, Roscoe left his wife and eventually ended up with his previous girlfriend.I thought the relationship between R.J. and Bianca would last for the entire movie.Talk about being surprised.As funny as this movie is, there is one thing that some people should know.Most of the humor was funny, but some of it was R-rated comedy.For example, Bianca trims her pubic hair in the shape of Roscoe's initials.Nothing is shown, but we do know what's going on, since Roscoes head blocks her, you know.There's also a pretty graphic scene in which 2 dogs are doing the hippity-dippity.Overall, I enjoyed this movie is much as most people enjoy Martin Lawrence and his movies.Ignore the negative reviews and have yourself a good time like I did.Visiting the family has never been this much fun.

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.

Well, normally, I won't watch anything with an IMDb rating of less than 6.0. I was watching cable yesterday, and saw this had already started, unaware of the 4.5 rating it earned on IMDb. And you know what? The movie was pretty damn funny. Having grown up in a big family, and moving away...I'm not sure, maybe it's the similarity of background with Roscoe. But there are some funny bits, good repartee, and just an enjoyable flick. Certainly as good, if not better than ML's other work (exception: BB 2). James Earl Jones, Michael Duncan, Cedrick, Vanessa, I mean that these are entertaining people (granted, no Oscars here, but what did you expect?). Bottom line: no football on TV, and with no other good movies on, this was out-loud funny, and I didn't once find myself channel surfing (but I did miss the first 15 minutes). Enjoy!

Come on people, I think you were expecting too much. It was a comedy and I thought it was very funny. How were the "stereotypes" semi-insulting? I believe half of us have a relationship with someone in our family pretty close to what Roscoe had with his father, and his siblings. We live with it and accept it. Or if we can't accept it, we tell the person, (finally!) how we feel and sometimes we learn because of not communicating that we both looked at things very differently. ("I didn't know you felt that way!)Black people deal with things, especially family issues, with humor. Ease up, not Oscar material, but very funny.
