5.0 out of 5 stars MARTIN MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!, August 26, 2002

By

Orinthea Gray (Matteson, IL USA) - See all my reviews

With any profession there is a certain level of inspiration that allow an individual to grow from. You can tell by the long list of achievements, along with a long list of obstacles, Martin Lawrence has come a long way and I am very proud of him. By looking at his act, I see the real life points he makes in his scenes like Bill Cosby. The profanity used to get attention like Richard Pryor. I can go on, but the bottom line is he has perfected a talent that no one can deny. As an African American female, I get really disgusted on how we hate on each other. Since I have a stressful life, I need to laugh sometimes. There are comedians on cable who are not African Americans, but are really corny and do not have any comical creativity. But, they are given so many more opportunities to advance because they appeal to the mainstream. With everything against him, Martin Lawrence has proved himself again that he is not just another comedian but a true entertainer. He reminds me that no matter how much money, power, or talent someone may have, no one is more important than GOD. I feel GOD does not put us through anything we can not handle and looking at Martin on the big screen only showed me how a person can achieve anything if they put their mind to it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Supreme Comeback...., October 15, 2002

A Kid's Review

Martin without doubt is as artistic as it gets. He had a string of wack material, but this is one of those classic movies that you can never forget. Maybe, I am a little bias because I love Martin Lawrence but the kid is a comedy genius. I think Martin realizes the need of people to see him doing what we all have come to love and the reason he makes "20 million" a movie. Needless to say that the things this kid went through trully somes up his career as a survivor. If you like rough and raw no holds bar comedy this the material you are looking for. It's a classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Boy tells it like it is..., July 11, 2003

By

Anwar (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Martin Lawrence Live - Runteldat (Full Screen Edition) (DVD)

In order to enjoy this performance, you have to like this kind of comedy. I'm not talking about "watered-down-Fresh-Prince-of-Bel-Air-hip-hop-for-the-masses-care-of-Will-Smith" comedy, either. I'm talking about Richard Pryor and Bernie Mac, tellin it like it is.

Yes, there's a lot of profanity. Yes, he talks about sex, body parts, and pregnancy in graphic detail. Yes, there are stories involving drug use and getting arrested by cops. Yes, he pushes the boundaries of what's considered acceptable in a comedy routine. Prudes definitely need not apply. But the real test is: would I consider his vulgarity tasteless and excessive? No. Does it fit into the routine? ... Does it match his style? ... Is it done justice by his delivery? Yes.

Speaking of his delivery, this is one of Martin's strengths. He delivers a commanding performance, showing off his acting and storytelling ability. He has great presence, prowling the stage, defiant that he's the one that's going to tell it like it is and the media can just kiss his a...

Those of you who are skeptical of this performance from the negative reviews citing a "low-brow, boring, vulgar performance" should probably not watch this. You wouldn't "get it" anyways. But those of you who have a little flava and don't mind a brutha who's got game laying down the laughs the way he wants to and doesn't care about not offending anyone in the process need to watch this performance. There are some slow parts, but at least half of this thing is drop dead hillarious.
