Firstly, ignore the low rating. It's obvious that welcome home Roscoe Jenkins is very underrated. It has everything you need in a comedy, it has a hilarious familiar cast, it's just full of laughs and fun. Martin Laurence did wonderfully and Mike Epps was Hesterical.
The title seems cheesy and typical, but the movie it self were far from that. The movie even becomes touching towards the end. A great one for a more mature family. I say that because the movie is not just another "cheaper by the dozen" most jokes are more for older people, and some scenes are not all appropriate for your young ones. What makes the film so great is it's execution, it's lines and it's just simple fun to watch. A family get's re united, so you can already imagine the laugh's your going to get already. Martin Laurence (Roscoe) returns back to were he grew up, he's off coarse successful and he comes back to his cousins, who are a nice delight to watch. Mike Epps doesn't stop delivering some nice laughs. He plays his role nicely. The rest of the cast were good too.
A typical family? well you will see your usual arguments and a whole lot of fighting! A great fun funny flick that will keep you laughing from start to finish. Go see it.
