Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins

Hey Everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful week.

 I have decided to write about a Martin Lawrence Comedy movie , It stars Martin Lawrence and Monique Cedric the Entertainer, James Earl Jones, Micheal Clarke, Nicole Ari Parker. 

The Movie starts off with Roscoe J Stephens who is a talk- show host,he has a lot of adoring fans and is engaged to Survior Winner Bianca Kittles. 

Roscoe and his family are getting ready to back to southern roots to celebrate his Parents 50th Wedding which he was reluctant to going to, his ten year old son is very excited about the celebration and seeing his grandparents and family members he has not seen in a while! 

RJ wants to prove to his family, he has grown up and changed and not someone that they can pick on and make fun of anymore.

 They make it to Georgia and he is welcomed by one of his cousins named Reggie, he likes to pick pockets his girlfriend Amy came along with him, they accompany him to the family home where he greets his parents Roscoe Sr, Mama Jenkins and his brother Otis who is the town sheriff, he then sees his brother's wife Ruthie and their overgrown kids Junior and Callie, he then sees his sister Betty.

 Roscoe's Cousin Clyde then appears at the celebration they don't really get along, they are really competitive with each other and with seeing him again it sparks up the competitiveness in him, he is escorting his crush Lucinda, his past love interest you will see the story of that when you watch the movie.  

Roscoe has spent nine years away from his family, he wants to impress his family and friends with his newfound money and success he doesn't succeed at this point in time. 

While he is visiting with his family he has many different self-humiliations, while they are playing a game of softball he hits his mom in the head with a softball and it leaves a mark on her head, the thing that happens is he gets beat up by his big brother Otis and his sister Betty because he insults them. 

He faces a lot of blackmail by his cousin Reggie, and then he ruins the fish fry by getting into a physical fight with his cousin Clyde, because he got into a fight he has to sleep outside while he is outside he gets sprayed on by a skunk, later it becomes obvious he is still holding a grudge against his dad for showing favoritism treatment to his cousin Clyde rather than him when they were younger. 

His dad is disappointed in him because he changed his name and distances himself from the family, Bianca and the family aren't getting along well.

 Roscoe and his past crush Lucinda are getting reacquainted,It is now the official day of his parents anniversary and they have set up an Obstacle course  which is a condition, Roscoe races against Clyde while they are racing they hurt themselves and others.

 Roscoe begins to climb the wall, his son is having trouble he stops to help him, then Bianca tells him to leave his son and beat Clyde, he beats him to his parents amazement, they race to the finish line Roscoe Wins just like he did 20 years ago. 

As Bianca cheers Roscoe berates his family by telling them it is the team of him. The family is disappointed and Angry at Roscoe's arrogance, Jamal doesn't want to go anywhere near his father, Roscoe then yells at his at his dad he knows Clyde lost his father he doesn't understand why he had to lose his, he chastise him for always acknowledging Cldye's accomplishments and none of his successes that he has made.

His father is stunned and feels guilty about what Roscoe said knowing that he is the reason Roscoe left nine years ago. When you see the movie you will see what happens between Roscoe and his cousin Clyde and the rest of the family, I can assure you it is a happy ending.

I decided to write about this movie because it is a good family movie, and teaches about how to love and forgive family, even if they did something wrong or did something to make you upset they are always going to love you and be there for you whenever you need them to be. 

It reminds me of my family,they are always there for me and I know they will always love me.

One of my favorite scenes from the movie is When Roscoe returns to the celebration and everyone is surprised and happy to see him, he says a wonderful speech that is very heartwarming and it makes everyone happy and smile.

I recommend this movie to anyone who loves comedy movies and loves to laugh!

Mrs. DoubtFire

 Good Afternoon everyone, I hope you all are having a wonderful week so far, I have decided to write about one of my favorite Robin Williams movies.

 Mrs. DoubtFire It always makes me laugh and smile, It stars Robin Williams, Sally Field, Matthew Lawrence, Lisa Jakub, Mara Wilson and Pierce Bronson. 

The Movie starts off With Robin's Williams Character Daniel Hillard  he is a freelance voice actor he lives in San Fransisco, he is a devoted and loving father to his three children 14 year old Lydia, 12 year old Christopher and 5 year old Natalie,(Nattie) for a nickname.

 His wife Miranda is a hard worker and loves her job she is obsessed with work she works as an Interior decorator she thinks Daniel is immature and unreliable.

 One day Daniel goes into work and he decides to quit his job because of a disagreement over a script for a tv show, when he leaves his job he throws a crazy  birthday party for his son and invites a lot of people and animals over to the party.

 Miranda told Daniel she didn't want Christ to have a birthday party because of his bad report card he ignored Miranda's objections and threw the party anyway.

Miranda comes home from work and sees all what is going on at her home, she gets so mad and upset that she tells Daniel she cant live like they are living anymore.

She wants a divorce, Daniel is heartbroken about the whole situation he honors Miranda's wishes on what she wants and they go to court, at their first custody hearing the Judge and court grant sole custody of the kids to Miranda and Daniel can have visitation rights every Saturday and that is due to him not having a job and being homeless.

 There is the possibility of shared custody that is continent on Daniel finding a job and a place to live within three months time. 

Daniel decides to focus and rebuild his life, he secures a new apartment and a job as a shipping clerk at a tv station after he is done with work his kids come to visit him and they have dinner together before they get a chance to finish Miranda shows up to pick them up to go home, while the kids are getting ready to leave he finds out from Miranda that she is looking for a House Keeper.  

She shows Daniel the form she is using to spread the word about her needing a housekeeper while Daniel has the form he makes a few changes to it, he calls Miranda and because he is a voice actor he uses different voices of undesirable applicants for the job, he makes the voices he uses sound terrible and bad because he doesn't want miranda to have the chance to hire a good house keeper yet. 

He finally brings out the big guns on the next voice because he knows the voice that he using now will be hired for the job. 

He says his name is Mrs.Euphegnia Doubtfire, she is and Elderly British Nanny with Strong Credentials, Miranda is very impressed, she is so impressed that she invites her over for an interview. Daniel asks his brother Frank who is a makeup Artist and his Frank's friend Jack to create a Mrs. Doubtfire Costume and a prosthetic face to make look like an older woman. 

Miranda likes her so much that she gets the job following the interview, the kids at first have a hard time with Mrs.Doubtfire they eventually get used to her and turn the corner their mom learns to become more easygoing  and close with her kids. 

Daniel starts to learn more household skills, as part of him keeping up his role as the nanny and he's starting to earn Miranda's respect, as things are starting to become good and happy a situation appears that has to do with him seeing his kids Miranda has put all her trust into Mrs.Doubtfire than Daniel and she isn't able to dismiss her. 

Miranda also has a new boyfriend his name is Stuart and Daniel is jealous of him because he is getting close to his family and kids. 

When you watch the movie you will find out how Lydia and Chris find Out Mrs.Doubtfire is their dad, there are a few more surprising twists and turns that happen in the movie, I do not want to spoil it by giving you all the information that happens.  I can tell you that is a happy ending and everyone is happy! 

 I decided to write about this movie because I have always loved this movie and Robin Williams is one of my favorite actors, he always leaves me with a smile on my face and makes me laugh a lot. 

When you watch the movie, you feel like Mrs.Doubtfire is a real person and someone that you can have fun with and connect with , someone that you would love to have as a nanny and friend. 

He puts his whole-self into Mrs. DoubtFire and brings her to life.

 I watched the movie a few times when I was a kid, and it always was an enjoyable and happy time for me. 

And it warmed my heart a lot, the whole story is wonderful and the actors who are in the movie portray their characters so well, you can feel within yourself all the emotions they are feeling in the movie. 

My favorite Scene from the movie is, I like a few scenes from the movie, one of my favorite scenes is when Daniel gets found out after he saves stuart from choking, Miranda starts freaking out, and she keeps repeating his name and doesn't know what to do with herself. 

I also like the scene where Daniel is making Tea for someone that visits his house, and his mask gets run over by a car, he has to find a new face to put on, he doesn't have a lot of time to find a face so he puts his face in a cake and there is icing covering his whole face, and when the person who is visiting him comes into the kitchen and says his name, he says Hello ! 

And she is surprised because she wasn't expecting to see his face looking like that, he explains why his face looks like that and tells her that the person she is expecting to see will be out shortly to talk to her.  

The whole movie will leave you on the edge of your seat and will keep you happy!

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 (2023): Cast, Premiere, Trailer - Parade:  Entertainment, Recipes, Health, Life, Holidays

Hey Everyone, Happy October! 

I recently saw the movie my Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, It is a good movie. I really enjoyed it, It stars all the same cast from the original movies and a few new people added this time in the movie. 

The story continues with the Dad Gus passing away and also Toula's husbands dad Ian also passed away and this all happened a year ago, the feeling of the passing of the father's is still fresh and raw.

They are all moving along in their own way, the Mom Maria is suffering from the early stages of Dementia,she is being cared for by her daughter Athena and Athena's husband Yianni also her brother Nick who has moved back into the childhood family home, and he is recently separated and has moved back to the ways he used to act. 

Toula who we all know she is still happily married to her husband Ian, who's recently retired from teaching and their daughter Paris is having some troubles in college which you will find out about when you watch the movie,she is away from her family for the first time.

 Toula received an Invitation from the mayor of Vrisi, her dads village where he grew up, Toula and her family are headed off to Greece for a reunion.

 Aunt Voula sets up a reunion with Aristotle as her assistant for the trip, Paris and Aristotle had a brief relationship in college and will not tell anyone until they are ready.  Toula wants to fulfill her father's dying wish he wants her to give his childhood journal to his friends that he grew up his three childhood friends. 

They make it to Greece and meet the Mayor Victory, she is a distant relative of theirs she leads them on their way to Athens, while they are on their way to Athens they see some sight spots and they have a ceremonial swim when they make it to their homeland. 

When they arrive to their destination they find it empty and not lively, they eventually find the house their father lived in as a little boy, they are unsure about the house but decided to go with it and the make the best of the situation with living like their father did. 

The next morning they meet someone named Alexandra their father's old flame, which she reveals to them and they also find out from Victory that there isn't a family reunion.

 Victory is hoping if they invite enough people they will come and bring in business for the village the Portokalos family is the first to arrive, It is also revealed Victory is only the mayor because there are very few people left in the village and no one else wanted the job.  

The next day they try to get use to their new surroundings and Toula goes on a search for her father's friends none of the people she talks to seem to remember who the friends are. 

They give her a lot of shots of a drink and it makes her tipsy, she remembers a man watching her. Paris is brushing off Aristoles pursuit of her she is hiding a secret of her own. Nick plays a prank on Ian which you will see when you watch the movie, Nick is looking for a tree in the village and Ian goes to the beach and he befriends a Monk and he tells him all about the village and people.  

That night they have dinner all together and they meet Peter, the man Toula saw watching her his mom Alexandra reveals he is her illegitimate son with Gus who she never told him about he is Nick's and Toula's half brother. 

They also meet Christos Peter's Son and Quasar Alexandra's assistant originally from Syria, they and Paris all to go a club after dinner and reveal to them they are in a relationship together and intend to marry each other and plan for their future together.  

The rest of the movie is very lively and entertaining and has a funny twists and turns that go along in the movie when you watch it is a happy and loving ending. 

It will leave your heart filled with joy and laughter and keep you smiling.  The cast does an outstanding job in the movie, the scenery is absolutely amazing and beautiful.  

When you watch the movie you will feel like you are part of the story and probably feel like you can relate to the characters in a way. 

I decided to write about this movie because it is one of my favorite movies, and because it reminds me of my big family, and how everyone is always together laughing and smiling, having a good time with one another, and everyone cooking together. 

My family is very protective over me they all have their own way of protecting me and caring for me. My family loves how I keep everyone connected and talking with one another because they then get to talk with one another, if it is not face to face at least it can be over the telephone.

 My family knows how much I love and care for them, I send my family messages almost every day because I want them to know much I love and care for them and how blessed I am to have them in my life.  I think I am like the character Toula in the movie, she does everything for her family, she has a big loving heart like me, I would also do anything for my family just like she does. 

 I did zoom birthday parties for my family each month to celebrate their birthdays during Covid It was a lot of fun, family members got to see other family members we haven't seen or they haven't seen in a while, there was a lot of joy in my families faces and they all loved it that made me very happy to see them happy!
 
I love how the movie explains how much love is in the family and how they are always there for each other and can always count on one another.

I recommend this movie to anyone who loves big happy family families and wants to laugh and smile! It is a wonderful Movie!
