    I had the chance to attend a pre-screening of this movie and it was sooooooooo funny! I understand some of the comments about black people only doing comedies but are we not allowed to laugh now? This movie is far from a shuck and jive film it is a comedy that anyone with a family can relate to even across racial lines. There is more to the story than him just coming home it explores the relationship between family and how you choose to handle success.

    @yJockMe – Thanks for spelling my name right. Now on to your comment. You said that white comedies have actors looking stupid… Yes they do, but name me one black comedy that does not make their actors look dumb? Name 1 i’ll wait…..

    Now as far as Adam Sandler, yes he is a clown, but his movies are not all silly backyard trailer trash comedies. Take Big Daddy for instance. He was an irresponsible new dad… but he tried… He wasn’t a black man who made it and forget his roots. It was sort of real life, hey piss on the wall just don’t cry i don’t care. It was sort of real… in a way. It wasn’t feeding into any sterotype. there are movies out there and tons of ways to be funny and not coon ourself. I’m tired of putting out money into ignorance. I’m tired of them making the same films over and over and giving them a different name hence this film. This is nothing but a remake of a Bernie Mack Episode i saw one. And it’s sad that this movie will make more money at the box office than a Catch of Fire, or Great Debaters, A Good Day To Be Black And Sexy… which is an innovated movie, that I’m the only blogger to blog about it. There are other movies out there which deserve the recognition and the well thought out intelligent black movies don’t get the press. So while you’re watching First Sunday about Robbing a Church, and This movie Roscoe Jenkins about other black Stereotype’s I’ll be reading a book.

    @ Real Talk – I’m not sayin Raven is a dyke but she looks like one. None of the women in there are really dressed with a lot of skin showing, everyone is dressed nice and respectable. Raven has on a SUIT!! and the suit isn’t even sexy it’s just a suit. I own that exact same suit… It’s made for a man!! She could have worn something better it’s all i’m saying. She looks like a dyke. Its just my opinion.

    And for the record Raven doesn’t look bad… she just looks a little too masculine. Like Queen Latifah picked out her clothes.

  4. MLOVE

    LOL…I was thinking Nicole needs some Spanx on. Looks like she got some work to the ta-ta’s the stomach is prob next. I love Vanessa’s look. Ceddy’s wife’s coat is horrid! Terry Crews and Michael Duncan looked like they just picked their dates up off the Vegas Ho Stroll!

    Michael Epps can get it!!

  5. jscene

    Get it Marty Mar! Looking kind of cute too.

    Can somebody tell Cedric’s wife to step her clothes game up! What’s with that 80′s frock?!!! She knew her ass was rolling out to a premiere…..embarrassing.

    Is Nicole pregnant again…mami i see a belly? It’s hard to believe she would just let her stomach hang like that on purpose.

    Dondre and Salli are a beautiful couple.

  6. jscene

    Terry Crews and his wife look like a pimp and hoe reject from the 70′s.

  7. Mayne

    This movie is going to be funny as hell! Martin need to come back in do more shit. Got the first three season of MARTIN on DVD. LMAO all day!
    SUPPORT BLACK MOVIES!!!! We need to get back to those Boomerang, House Party, Boyz in the Hood, Spike Lee Joint days!

    FIRST IN FLIGHT’S debut album, 1903, coming soon in 2008……

  13. Ladyssolady

    Oooo, Martin!! You looks sooo good, lol. Sallis is so pretty. There goes Cousin Faith from ‘Soul Food’, lol! Monique’s husband usually looks good, but he looks a little ‘How you doin?!’ here. Must be the glasses or something. Raven…RAVEN!! Please learn how to dress your breasts!! Us people with big breasts can’t be having them suffocated like that! You can still wear nice, drapey stuff that’s still sexy. She dresses waaay too old.

  14. Cannon

    Dondre Whitfield is so damn cute, I’ve had a crush on him since his Robert days on Cosby :) His wife Salli is pretty also, they make a nice couple and they seem like they’re really in love.

  17. STACEY

    LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MOVIES,PREVIEW LOOKED FUNNY

  18. yjockme

    BLOGXILLA…..I get your point but there are several black comedies out there that does not make black people look coonish as you say…..The Inkwell, Kingdom Come, Boomerang, Harlem Nights, Bad Boys I and II, All of Tyler Perry Movies, Are We Done Yet, Are We There Yet, Something New, The Best Man, Thirty Years to Life, even that last movie that came out I thought sucked The Perfect Christmas and oh of course I liked This Christmas and I could go on…..,I am a movie watcher rather its a DVD or going to a movie….don’t get me wrong I understand what you are saying we could go into Soul Plane and Who’s your Caddy and goofy movies like that…..but what seems like a terrible movie to you could be good to others because of there favorite actor or comedian…..and there are a lot of inspirational movies black people watch that we all appreciate I am sure…..and you talking about reading…..I got plenty books for ya too….I can go from Barack Obama’s book to Zane on you.

    Give some of your black people the benefit of the doubt. Just because one decides to pay money to go see a comedy that makes black people look like the coons you speak of does not mean they do not have broad minds

  19. TXAGGIE

    It’s some sad Black women on here. I see what Gabby and other black celebrities be talking about. We are just tearing each other down and then have the nerve to say some one is hating on them when they get criticized. I also see why most Black men will turn to other races for their wives, we (Black women) are hateful to each other as well as ourselves. I don’t think there is anything wrong with Nicole Ari Parker, damn she just had a baby, easy up off her. Half of yall on here proabably look ten times as worse and probably don’t have one child. Lift one another up and respect one another. These women are regular human beings just like us posting comments. I don’t know why we always think they are super human or above us because they walk down red carpets. Chill out and grow up!!

    And yes, I am a Black female and no, I am not afiliated with any celebrities.

    Sorry, if there are any spelling mistakes

    I am too through with foolishness and stupidity in 2008.

  20. Dereon

    Wow…so many haters! Hmm…the movie looks good lol. I can’t wait to see it. And Nicole Ari Parker looks great!

  21. joneblaze

    I didnt even know that was Raven she looks 45 !!!
    Mo’Nique’s husband looks like Rupaul when he doest wear his make up,and they just announced they have an open marriage……YUCK
    I will always love Nicole Ari Parker

  22. joecool

    Nicole is pregnant

  23. anonymous

    Dondre Whitfield always gives me a funny feeling. There’s something not right about this guy. Try as I might, I think he’s abusive. Something is not right about this guy. I hope I’m wrong.

  24. Emma V's Great-Grandaughter

    Salli and Robert from the cosby show look cute together.

    Martin and Cedric’s wife look like they are on their way to church.

    Nicole needs a girdle.

    Boris is fiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeee.

    Raven needs to dress her age. I almost didn’t even know who she was in that picture. We all know that she became wealthy from her show That’s So Raven, Cheehta Girls, selling her products for little kids and the whole 9. But she is worth 400 million atleast she could dress her, do some lifetime movies, or just leave show business and have a family. That girl is worth 400 million she does not have to work again, but for the people she worked with since she was little might need that money she got and hell they are rich too.

    I thought that Oprah didn’t let certain black actors/actresses on her show , that was never nominated for golden globes, oscars or did what Jada Pinkett did marry a bigger star with money. Well maybe that is just me or something.

    The guy from Green Mile his date has to much weave in her hair and she reminds me of that lady from 227 that replaced Jackee Harry.

    I’ll just wait till this movie comes out on dvd.

    Mo’nique please shave your hairy leggs and your husband looks gay.

  25. Hmmmm

    Mike Epps:Look a Roscoe pants look like a picnic basket.
    Aye boo-boo let me get another picnic basket!!

    That’s the only part I like.
    lol

  26. DCTRINIGYAL

    i have that purse that ravon is carrying in tan…she has great taste, anyway, everyone looks great. that is all

  27. My Jumpoff is handsome!

  31. jazzco

    #79 TXAGGIE

    I agree with you that’s why I started dating white women.

  32. Vera

    Everyone looks nice. Nicole is looking mad skinny though. She doesn’t looks quite right, but she’s still pretty.

  33. applecake

    I think that Nicole is preggers again, because I can’t see the rest of her body being so toned and not her stomach.
    Martin looks really good in these pictures, he has come a long way since Martin.
    Yes where did Michael Clark Duncan and Terry Crews get these women, they had to be last minute.
    Everyone else looks great.

  34. OOHLALA

    Why must people hate! Nicole is FAB!!! I love her. People hate on her just because she pulled that fine Boris, GET OVER IT!! Why can’t people just be positive they always got something negative to say.

    NE WAY can’t wait to see the movie anything with Martin is funny to me.

  35. Everybody looks so happy. I will be seeing this movie to support my baby Martin. Everybody is talking about how it sets black people back, but the dummies haven’t even seen the movie yet. More power to ya Martin!

    *TAE BO still works!!!

  42. NISHAUNA

    hood_shit- I’ve know monique’s husband Sydney since my brother was a baby he happens to be my brothers uncle/god father and nothing about him is gay. just cause a man is well groomed and has feminine fetures doesn’t make him gay. his features came from the same person yours came from and thats god.

  43. jones

    who said terry crews’s wife is black? LO you guys are stupid. and just so you know, Boris and Nicole Kodjoe are MIXED and not BLACK.

  44. jones

    Jazzco you are gay …shut the f up. No straight mkan comes on gossip sites ….go grab a d****

  45. TamDiggy

    Salli Richardson was not with Dwayne-Wayne….that was Chante Moore— I just felt the need to correct

  46. Too-Life

    Raven looks like she’s 20 years older than what she really is

  47. Greatestloveofall

    DAMN Deondre Whitfield and Boris Kodjoe showin that lightskin brothas do it better!

  49. tia

    oh and LMAO at terry cruz really bein into white women…and here i thought he only liked em in white chicks…that is too funny…more power to him tho.

  50. Greatestloveofall

    ^I think terry crews wife is just a really light skinned black woman–she looks albino almost!

  51. tia

    yeah now that i look closely shes jus really light…my bad,nothing wrong with it either way imo.

  52. I loveee Raven I think she looks hot!

    Everyone else looks great too except for Michael Clark Duncan’s date (she looks a hotmess).

    I can wait until this movie comes out on dvd.

  53. tanya

    boris wife shouldnt have worn that…she should have worn some that came away from the tummy..ure in the media u just dont do that…michael duncan is a typical big dark man wit a white girl and so is the dude from everybody hates chris..um raven booboo for you to be worth all this money u would think u would pay for a stylist…i mean come on for once in ur life…at least on the cosby’s u had a stylist and there were atleast creative with the crazy outfits with the hat to match lol..joy bryant does always have that hair style she really needs a pressing comb or a mild perm lol..cedric wife is going to church after the premiere…and salli were u going to a premiere or to the mall??

  54. JADA MISS

    @14 Martin does not NOT need a stylist…He is getting his grown man on! RECOGNIZE IT!

    Didnt know dude from white chicks was really into white chicks!!

    Mike….umm umm umm good!

    LOL at comment about Ced and his wife coming from easter service! Ya’ll know he aint no spring chicken!

    I agree Nick looked like Tyra to me too with that played out lace-front! Whatever happened to getting your own hair down….put the weaves away ladies!! (New revolution for ’08???)

    Dondre and Salli damn when did that happen? Cute couple tho…

    Say what you want about black movies but I’ll be first in line to see this….(at the beautyshop getting my bootleg on!!!) LOL! Just kidding I will support cause white hollywood expects us to do the bootleg thing…SAY NO TO BOOTLEG!

    Rayven you look great very stylish and sexy dont change a thing! She is a business woman…why shouldn’t she look like one? If she was doin a Britney ya’ll would be right in your judgement BUT IN THE MEANWHILE LETS UNITE AND SHOW OUR BLACK PRIDE CAUSE THESE WHITE FOLKS LOVE THE FACT WE STILL EMBRACE A SLAVE MENTALITY!!!!!!!!!! PRACTICE HAVING LOVE, RESPECT,FAITH AND UNITY IN YOUR BLACK RACE, BLACK COMMUNITY, BLACK FAMILIES, ETC… FOCUSING ON THE FOOLISHNESS WILL ONLY KEEP US DOWN!!!!!
