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

Richard Pryor mined his personal horrors and came up with a treasure chest of material, but Lawrence gives us mostly fool's gold.
Ranges from laugh-out-loud hilarious to wonder-what- time-it-is tedious.
An odd amalgam of kitschy, transparently manipulative sentiment, provocative subject matter, off-kilter perspective and some truly funny physical humor.
You either find his jokes funny or you don't. But no one can mistake the ferocious energy of a performer for whom making people laugh has been not just a gift but a matter of survival.
He's just so damn likeable, you can't help but laugh, even when his language is littered with four-letter words and his stories draw up images you might later wish you'd never imagined.
A movie that is not only achingly funny but also full of serious and philosophical truisms.
The comedy here is for adults only.
In English, means Run Tell That.

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.
Very little of the material is revelatory or digs very deeply into Lawrence's troubles.
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!
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.
Pretty funny.. Worth watching on tv.
