See the Latest Martin Lawrence Flick Free

Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins
Comic-actor Martin Lawrence (Big Momma’s House 1 and 2, Bad Boys 1 and 2) has a new movie opening next Friday, February 8, called Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins. In the comedy, he plays RJ Stevens, a famous talk-show host and self-help guru in the style of Oprah or Dr. Phil who hails from the small Southern town of Dry Springs, Georgia.

When Stevens’ parents ask him to return home for their 50th wedding anniversary, the entertainment personality does, and he brings along his ten-year-old son, new wife, and misunderstanding that since he’s a media star now, his family and old neighbors will treat him with due respect. Of course, he’s wrong.

Besides Lawrence, prominent cast members include James Earl Jones as Stevens’ father, Margaret Avery as his mother, and Joy Bryant as his self-involved wife, in addition to Michael Clarke Duncan, Cedric the Entertainer, Mike Epps, Nicole Ari Parker, and Mo’Nique.

If the PG-13 film sounds interesting to you and you plan to be in the metro Boston area next Wednesday, the free weekday newspaper BostonNOW has a contest for you. It’s giving 50 randomly selected winners the opportunity to win a two-person pass to an advance screening of Roscoe Jenkins at a local movie theater on February 6.

Just visit www.bostonnow.com/roscoe to enter and then cross your fingers for a little good news. And if you don’t have any luck with that route, the movie’s website also offers the chance to score some free advance tickets, courtesy of the production studio Universal Pictures.
