Movie Reviews of Martin Lawrence Live - Runteldat (Full Screen Edition)Movie Review: Boy tells it like it is... Summary: 5 Stars
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.
