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!
