Title:
Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins
Synopsis:
Dr. R.J. (Roscoe) Stevens (Martin Lawrence) is a talk show sensation who has shirked his simple Southern past and the awkward boy he used to be to dispense "You can do it” advice to millions of adoring fans. With reality TV series Survivor winner Bianca Kittles (Joy Bryant) on his arm and loads of cash in his pocket (enough to buy his parents a 50” Hi-Def flat panel TV), thereâs nothing he feels he hasnât achieved.
When his parents request that he come home for their 50th wedding anniversary, R.J. packs up his 10-year-old son Jamal (Damani Roberts) and his fiancée Bianca and heads back to his sleepy Southern hometown. Ready to impress his down home kin with how much heâs changed, RJ will prove heâs not the walking disaster they used to pick on. When they arrive in Georgia, he is first greeted by his cousin Reggie (who asks him for $300 to buy some ice for the family barbecue). Roscoe heads to his family’s home, greeted by his parents, Roscoe Sr. and Mama Jenkins, his brother Otis (Michael Clarke Duncan), the sheriff, his wife Ruthie (Liz Mikel) and their over-grown kids Otis Jr. and Kelly. Next up is Roscoe’s sister, Betty (Mo’Nique), who is a little too loud and rowdy. Roscoe’s cousin, Clyde (Cedric the Entertainer), visits the family as well, and the two remain competitive as they did years before. Traveling with Clyde is Lucinda (Nicole Ari Parker), Roscoe’s love interest from his past.
While staying with his family, Roscoe endures a lot of self-humiliation (such as getting sprayed by a skunk while sleeping). On the day of his parent’s anniversary, the whole family gathers for the traditional obstacle course of the Jenkins family. Roscoe is determined to win against Clyde, and the two become even more competitive. While climbing over a wall with ropes, Roscoe begins to help his son over, but Bianca tells him to leave him, and he does (shocking his parents). Roscoe and Clyde race to the finish line, and Roscoe comes out the victor. Bianca cheers for him, but the rest of his family has become very upset with him. Jamal refuses to go near his father, and Roscoe Sr. chastises his son for his actions. Roscoe tells his father that even though Clyde’s father died, he (Roscoe) felt he lost his father as well, because he felt that his father favored Clyde over him. This hurts
