Going Home Was Never So Special.......................

This all star movie was well worth the money spent to make it. Directed by Malcolm Lee.

In this movie, Roscoe Jenkins (Martin Lawrence) has become a successful talk show host and due to his busy career and demanding girlfriend Lucinda Allen (Nicole Ari Parker) has distanced himself from his family. With Papa and Mama Jenkins (James Earl Jones and Maragaret Avery) giving him the guilt trips about coming home for their 50th Anniversary and his little boy's (Damani Roberts) persistance Roscoe decides that it's finally time to go home and face the music and introduce his girlfriend to his family. Uptight and snooty Lucinda was in for a rude awakening when meeting the Jenkin's family. First she meets Roscoe's parents and all seems well. She then meets his cousin Reggie who is always out to get a buck from someone. To Sheriff Otis Jenkins (Michael Clarke Duncan) who is Roscoe's older brother and his family. Everything goes as smooth as a crazy family who hasn't seen each other in years. Until Clyde Stubb (Cedric the Entertainer) makes the scene. Clyde was Roscoe's dad's nephew whose parents both died when he was younger. Roscoe's dad adopted Clyde and raised him as his own. However, there was always a huge competition growing up amongst Clyde and Roscoe. From sports to school to the lovely Miss Bianca Kittles (Joy Bryant). It seems that every year the Jenkins family has a obstacle course and the young Clyde and Roscoe made a bet on Bianca. The winner gets to take her to the school dance. Roscoe who normally loses the annual obstacle course, finally beats Clyde. As he goes to ask Bianca to the dance Clyde has already beat him to the punch. Now Roscoe has held onto that since he was about 12 so his grudge for Clyde has grown into a mountain. After Bianca shows up to the house with Clyde, Roscoe begins spending more time with her and they both realize that the feelings are there for them. Much to Lucinda's dismay. Then there is Roscoe's sister Betty (Mo'Nique) who is portrayed as a christian woman that goes into prison's to give the prisoner's "something" to think about while they're locked up. She is also the instagator in the movie. Always pushing Roscoe and Clyde's buttons and starting controversy between them. In the end, Roscoe ends up leaving Lucinda and hooking up with Bianca. He also goes back to his talk show and introduces his family since they have some crazy issues amonst them all.

There was some sexual scenes that would not be suitable for children. There was one with Roscoe and Lucinda and another between Lucinda and Roscoe's dogs that made it look like two human having sex instead of two dogs. There was a lot of cursing. So all in all this is definetly not a family movie. I would recommend watching it after the kids go to bed.

My hubby and I laughed a lot during this movie. Martin Lawrence and the rest of the all star cast made it enjoyable to watch. It is def worth watching again,
