Martin Lawrence - Live - Runteldat

With RUNTELDAT, troubled actor-comedian Martin Lawrence (BIG MOMMA'S HOUSE, DO THE RIGHT THING, BLUE STREAK) returns to the stand-up spotlight in order to set the record straight once and for all. Fed up with the way the media chose to portray him after a string of unfortunate run-ins with the law, Lawrence realised just how influential their role is in the making or breaking of a celebrity's career. Determined not to let that happen, Lawrence instead jumped right back into work. The result is RUNTELDAT, a concert film that 1) shows the media that they can't keep him down, and 2) gives him a chance to tell his side of the story. Of course, those rather bizarre occurrences aren't the only topics of discussion here. From September 11th, to parenthood, to relationships and divorce, Lawrence uses his oft-mimicked brand of profanity laden insight to try to make sense of things. And then there are the "incidents"--a drug freak-out in the middle of a busy Los Angeles intersection, a fight in a nightclub, and a jogging episode that landed the star in a near-death coma. Lawrence pulls no punches in telling his side of the story, resulting in a hysterical, yet always humane, concert film.

    Not what you would expect

    I'm a big Martin Lawrence fan. I think the guy is hilarious, in his films and on stage. But this was very dissapointing. I was expecting light hearted stand up comedy, but instead got a very serious and depressed Martin Lawrence. He mainly talks about his life's problems, his devorce, and how he hates the media, but not in a joking way, rather in a dead serious way. He seems pissed off at life and wants to get things off his chest. Its a far cry from the days he was on def comedy jam. He seldom tries to make jokes etc, and when he does, its not exactly side splitting stuff. Im afraid i will have to give this one a thumbs down!!!

    Could Do Better!

    Not the funniest Martin Lawrence stand up routine.

    Surprisingly his most entertaining sketch was his description of the 'trials and tribulations' he had to deal with in relation to his brushes with the law.
