Critics consensus

“Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins has moments of comic inspiration -- and long stretches of overdone slapstick.”

Peter Travers

RTRolling StoneFeb 22, 2008

Actors such as Michael Clarke Duncan, Mo'Nique, Mike Epps and Cedric the Entertainer have been persuaded by writer-director Malcolm D. Lee to do crass routines that should have gone out with minstrel shows.

RTEbert & RoeperFeb 11, 2008

This is a loud, stupid, cliché-riddled mess.

Desson Thomson

RTWashington PostFeb 8, 2008

A talented comedian, Lawrence has leaned all too easily on formula for his successful films. Imagine if he would test his flair against original and fresh premises, instead of the tried and trite.

Mo'Nique, unlike Lawrence, manages to show off her sincere side alongside her improvisational skills in the film's latter half.
