Martin Lawrence has starred in many big comedy successes throughout his career, including the “Bad Boys, “Bad Boys” franchise, “Big Momma’s House,” and “Blue Streak.” While they all had plenty of laughs, all of his films were huge box office successes. One of his comedy films that are arguably the least rated film is “Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins,” which debuted in 2008. As per California Sunday Magazine, director-writer Malcolm D. Lee blames the film’s poor box office performance on the title.
“Roscoe Jenkins” may not be a box-office success in 2008, however, it was a film that people have watched repeatedly on both DVD and cable. It’s now being watched again by viewers on Netflix, which is at the moment #4 in the service’s Daily Top 10 movies chart and 7 overall. Netflix customers are enjoying the film’s slapstick comedy and impressive ensemble actors.
“Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins” is the story of the main character, a popular talk show host, who left behind his parents and the tiny Southern town he came from during his journey. He’s referred to as the name Dr. R.J. Stephens instead of his more traditional name, despite not being a medical professional.
