Leave your thoughts about Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins.
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganThe film gets mired in pointless, drawn-out jokes about bodily functions and sex between pets. |
| Entertainment SpectrumVince KoehlerYou find yourself reliving many of your family reunions while watching this comedy, many of us having suffered through the same troubles. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekThe movie makes it abundantly clear that Roscoe should have gone home again. Unfortunately, what's equally apparent is that you shouldn't go with him. |
| Globe and MailJason AndersonLawrence [has] rarely been more appealing. That's partly because this latest incarnation of his usual persona is more vulnerable and likeable, but mostly it's a relief not to see him strain so hard to Bogart all the jokes. |
| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreHollywood, which spent most of the last century ignoring the black family, seems determined to spend most of this one showing the same black family. Over and over. |
| New York TimesMatt Zoller SeitzIt’s a cut above other films of its type because every scene is packed with details like those pliers -- touches that suggest that the film’s writer and director, Malcolm D. Lee (“The Best Man”), is working overtime to smuggle life into formula. |
| Entertainment WeeklyClark CollisMo'Nique is similarly given little opportunity to show off her indisputable comedic chops, though her freewheeling monologue during the closing credits hints at what might have been. |
| Can MagazineFred TopelSeriously, do you have to laugh at rib jokes? Do you really? All right, if that's what you want, don't worry. Hollywood will keep making these movies as long as you continue to support them. |
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey Lylesgreat performances that will have the audience thoroughly entertained. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenUninspired sitcom about a man visiting home to a family that disrespected him as a youth. |
