The no-holds-barred documentary-style footage -- spiced with rousing rap music, Martin Lawrence’s own razor-sharp commentary and a glimpse of both his triumphs and setbacks -- is only the beginning. Next comes the blackout stage with only the Runteldat logo illuminated in the background and the sound of thousands of adoring fans shrieking and clapping in delight. And finally, as the anticipation mounts to a near-frenzied peak, the announcer booms: “Ladies and Gentleman….Martin Lawrence!” A spotlight hits center stage where the man of the hour stands behind a screen surrounded by smoke. Slowly, the proverbial fog lifts to reveal Lawrence, who descends down a flight of stairs as he waves victory/peace signs…and then he flashes that devilish grin that has “Get ready for a wild ride” written all over it. Yes, the controversial bad-boy of comedy definitely delivers a piercing look at his life, lifting the metaphorical smokescreen that he feels has clouded the public view, commenting on everything from the dangers of smoking to the trials of relationships, and unleashing a nonstop litany of raucous anecdotes, stinging social commentary and very personal reflections about life. -- © 2002 Paramount Pictures [More]

  • When Martin Lawrence takes the stage, it's more than an event...it's a no-holds barred comedy attack. After his huge movie and TV successes, Lawrence makes a triumphant return to his stand-up roots in this utterly "satisfying and truly funny" live performance. Lawrence trains his sights on such explosive subjects as parenting, sex and smoking, and, in perhaps the film's most revealing and most powerful section, sets the record straight on his infamous brushes with the law. Martin Lawrence isn't just back- he's bigger, badder and more hilarious than ever. Run and tell that! - Desson Howe, Washington Post/Weekend.

    The bad boy Martin Lawrence that is the box office draw is much funnier than the toned down version seen in this film.

    Comes off as a long, laborious whine, the bellyaching of a paranoid and unlikable man.

    Lawrence should stick to his day job. He's a better actor than a standup comedian.

    And if you appreciate the one-sided theme to Lawrence's over-indulgent tirade, then knock yourself out and enjoy the big screen postcard that is a self-glorified Martin Lawrence lovefest. If you are willing to do this, then you so crazy!

    Very little of the material is revelatory or digs very deeply into Lawrence's troubles.

    In his role of observer of the scene, Lawrence sounds whiny and defensive, as if his life-altering experiences made him bitter and less mature.

    This overlong infomercial, due out on video before month's end, is tepid and tedious.

    I have to admit I walked out of Runteldat. I did go back and check out the last 10 minutes, but these were more repulsive than the first 30 or 40 minutes.

    Richard Pryor mined his personal horrors and came up with a treasure chest of material, but Lawrence gives us mostly fool's gold.
