A single father who has just found success as the host of an outrageous television talk show begins to question his path in life when he returns home to attend his parents' 50th wedding anniversary party in the company of his famous fiancée -- a reality television star -- in this crisis-of-conscience comedy starring Martin Lawrence. RJ Stevens (Lawrence) is a television talk-show sensation who has transcended his modest Southern beginnings to become the most popular self-help guru ever to grace the small screen. His show, "Team of Me," is a ratings juggernaut, his fiancée is a beautiful reality television star, and his pockets are always lined with large bills. There are few Tinseltown dreams that RJ hasn't already achieved, so when his parents announce their 50th wedding anniversary, the family-oriented television star immediately drops everything and sets his sights on Georgia. As a boy, RJ was always the target of ridicule within his family, but these days things are different; not only does RJ have a ten-year-old son, but his bride-to-be is admired by countless viewers all across the globe on a weekly basis. But RJ's egotistical West Coast attitude simply doesn't fly in the South, and when his lovable but relentless family refuses to cut him any slack due to his current superstar status, he must finally pause and take stock of the man he has become. Louis C.K., Cedric the Entertainer, Michael Clarke Duncan, and James Earl Jones co-star in a Southern-flavored family comedy written and directed by Malcolm D. Lee. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    It is good to see Martin L. back in action. The film was funny and anyone with family in the south can honestly relate to some of the chracters and antics. This is not a family film, but a film you can watch and say that character reminds me of cousin so-and-so.

    I rented this movie with the expectation that it would not be that funny. It surprised me. I felt that Martin Lawrence didn't fair too well. However, his co-stars such as Mike Epps (too hilarious), Monique (too hilarious), Cedric the Entertainer and the dude that played in the Green Mile (forgot his name) made the movie. I laughed so hard that tears were rolling down my face.

    I was quite disappointed. Martin provides a few laughs but the overall movie just fell flat. Not a good comedy in my book. I would pass on this. bad movie.
