Martin Lawrence and Mo'Nique star in "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins."

Martin Lawrence, the extraordinary comedian who evolved from the late 1980's has recently showcased his amazing comedic talents in the hit movie "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins".

Lawrence, who stands approximately 5'5 feet tall, with a small oval shaped head and an immense humorous personality signifies what it means to take on the persona of a character with his portrayal of Roscoe Jenkins.

Grossing over $35 million with a leading all-star comedy cast including Cedric the Entertainer, Mike Epps, and Mo'Nique, Lawrence has marked his territory in the film world.

"Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins" is a hilarious, heart warming family film whose setting takes place in the South. Lawrence is talk- show host sensation RJ Stevens, who left behind his unpretentious upbringing and family name to transform himself into a self- help guru. The conflict that progresses occurs when he returns home for his parent's 35th anniversary and is ridiculed by family and his successful rival cousin Clyde, played by Cedric the entertainer.

This movie was excellent. It was overly entertaining and had me laughing from the opening to the end. Lawrence conveyed another classic performance. This movie will afford any individual the opportunity to reflect on one's own family reunions and special holidays. Mike Epps, Cederic the Entertainer, and Mo'Nique presented none other than exceptional comedic and acting dispositions. This movie was phenomenal and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys extensive laughter.
