WELCOME HOME ROSCOE JENKINS (2008)
SYNOPSIS
Leading an all-star comedy cast, Martin Lawrence is
talk-show sensation RJ Stevens, who left behind his
modest Southern upbringing and family name to
transform into a self-help guru dispensing his
“Team of Me” philosophy to millions of adoring fans.
With a reality-TV-star fiancée and money to burn,
there’s no piece of the Hollywood dream RJ hasn’t
achieved.
After his parents request that he come home for
their 50th wedding anniversary, the TV host packs
up his 10-year-old son and diva bride-to-be and
heads back to Georgia. It’s a chance to prove to his
family that he’s no longer the awkward kid they
relentlessly picked on. At least, that’s the plan…
But when his crazy, lovable family calls him on his
big-city attitude and challenges him at every turn, RJ
is forced to take a hard look at the man he’s
become. He may be a superstar in L.A., but he’s just
one of the guys in Dry Springs as folks say Welcome
Home Roscoe Jenkins.
