Lawrence is very watchable as Roscoe and definitely carries the film. Joy Bryant plays the high maintenance fiancé to Roscoe, Bianca. Her and Lawrence have Zero chemistry and actually look ridiculous together I think. Still she makes a good villain and someone you'll love to hate. Nicole Ari Parker plays the 'other girl' Roscoe's true love and childhood sweetheart.
I hate to say it but Parker is bland and looks like a deer in the headlights. She has almost as little chemistry with Lawrence and she IS supposed to have chemistry with him. She just looks bored or tired or something but doesn't fit the cast. Cedric The Entertainer who I also think can be a very funny guy plays Lawrence's rival and cousin. He is decent but just kind of does his thing and never really makes any significant addition to the cast.

Roscoe and Clyde aggressively make their way through, hurting themselves and others. When Roscoe begins to help his son over an obstacle, Bianca yells at him to leave Jamaal so he can defeat Clyde and he does, to his parents' shock. Roscoe and Clyde race to the finish line, and Roscoe wins . As Bianca cheers, Roscoe berates his family, reminding them that it is all about "the team of me". This film wasn't all that funny, but the scehs that were funny, were Hysterical, and Outrageous. This is Lawerence doing his Bawdy Humor that got him famous.
Also, this movie had some pretty decent jokes, much better than many other comedies released this time who use clichéd and predictable jokes. What I also admired about this movie was the family matter and moral this movie was trying to give out. Unfortunately, the other jokes this movie seem to have were also predictable, gross, unfunny, and crude. Some scenes in the movie just ruin the sweets scenes before it because it felt like the filmmakers just want to make people laugh.

Must also contend with his ultra-competitive cousin Clyde , the family's presumptive "golden boy" and a long-time rival who stole the affections of R.J.'s childhood sweetheart, Lucinda . As the celebration weekend rolls on, R.J.'s craving for his father's respect and an inflated sense of self threaten family harmony and his opportunity to reconnect with Lucinda, and--worst of all--his relationship with his own son. Lawrence makes Roscoe a genuinely sympathetic foil to the comedic antics of Mo'Nique and Epps, both of whom are given room to riff by director Malcom D. Lee . Frequently bawdy but thoroughly entertaining, WELCOME HOME ROSCOE JENKINS is also a warmhearted reminder that you are where you come from, and that when searching for yourself no one can put you straight better than a loving family. What I loved about this movie were the characters and moral. Each of the characters are unique and have their own memorable moments.
Ahh martin getting back to what he knows best and that is making people laugh. It is an older movie, have seen it on TV, thought I would buy it. With it being an older movie, I didn't think I would have any player problems. But, when it got to the obstacle coarse scene, it started jumping and skipping.

Dr. RJ Stevens is a talk show host who visits his family in the deep south. While there he reunites with his brother Otis, his sister Betty, his cousin/rival Clyde and his childhood love interest Lucinda Allen. Granted it's not a great film, hell I can't even say that it's a good film. I just gave it 3 stars cause it kept me entertained throughout. As far as the plot goes, it's nothing really great...it's predictable as fuck and you can pretty much see where the movie's going to go by the end of it. So really there's not a whole lot that really sets this film apart from other films like this.
During the anniversary celebration, Clyde cries during his speech for Mama and Papa Jenkins, admitting how much he cares about Roscoe, who appears, thanking the family for helping him realize his love for them, and congratulating his parents. He and his father apologize to each other, and Roscoe asks Lucinda to dance. After the celebration, the family watches a video of the celebration on a big-screen TV while Roscoe and Lucinda depart to make love, discovering when they enter the bedroom that the dogs Bucky and Fifi had intercourse, too.
A successful talk show host leaves Los Angeles to reunite with his family in the Deep South. After his parents request that he come home for their 50th wedding anniversary, the TV hosts takes that opportunity to show his parents he's all grown up. He heads back to his hometown with his 10-year-old son and diva bride-to-be.
The family is angered by Roscoe's arrogant behavior and Jamaal refuses to go near his father, with Roscoe Sr. reprimanding his son for his behavior. Stunned by this admission, Roscoe Sr. realizes he himself is the reason his son left home and walks off feeling guilty and ashamed. Now seeing why Roscoe resented him, Clyde admits he never intended to take Roscoe’s place, and that his competitiveness was because he only wanted to fit in and be accepted by the family and sees Roscoe as his brother. He tries to shake Roscoe's hand, but Bianca rebuffs him, and Roscoe leaves with Bianca and Jamaal, but not before his mother reminds him that his family still loves him. At home, RJ's family does not treat him as the important semi-celebrity he is in LA but as the child who could never defeat his cousin Clyde in any competition and as the boy still under his parents' dominion at home.
Also I watched this on free tv so perhaps I was nicer to this film than I normally would be. 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. In this broad comedy of familial bad manners, Martin Lawrence stars as a Jerry Springer-ish talk-show host with a Survivor-winning fiancée and a young son he somewhat neglects. All three decamp to his parents’ house in rural Georgia on the occasion of the oldsters’ 50th wedding anniversary.
It isn't all sterotypical, and one-liners that pierce many egos, but it is all the fast paced humotr that appeared throughout the whole film.

Margaret Avery, Cedric the Entertainer, Mo'nique and Michael Clarke Duncan are all funny and good at puncturing the bubble of Roscoe's believed importance. Eventually Roscoe learns some important lessons about the importance of family and remaining connected to them and becomes the man his father has always wanted him to be. This is a decent, somewhat funny movie so it gets a grade of C+ and a moderate recommendation.
