it be not uncommon for a celebrity to be face with the proverbial wake up call . and and should they survive this event and they come to a deep understanding and appreciation of their particular good fortune . however and in the case of comedian and they be rarely a funny after their epiphany a they be prior to it . such be the case with martin lawrence . frankly and i pay little attention to celebrity a i have much good thing to do with my life than to spend it monitor others . so and i be unaware of the majority of what lawrence have go through prior to this film . it be interest but and unfortunately and all to common . i be leave with the large impression that this guy stand up act just wasn not very funny . save the big life message for a book and just be funny on stage . if you want to see a funny martin lawrence and go rent some of the old def jam for which he host . don not rent runteldat .
