Profile of Martin Lawrence Live - Runteldat

The mood of Martin Lawrence Live - Runteldat is humorous, biting, and clever. The plot centers around a workplace romance, life in an urban ghetto, and rising to stardom. It features grossout humor. It is a comedy movie. Stylistically, it involves stand up and sketches. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. It is set in Los Angeles. It happens in contemporary times. It is drawn from a biography.

Summary of Martin Lawrence Live - Runteldat

With RUNTELDAT, troubled actor-comedian Martin Lawrence (BIG MOMMA'S HOUSE, DO THE RIGHT THING, BLUE STREAK) returns to the stand-up spotlight in order to set the record straight once and for all. Fed up with the way the media chose to portray him after a string of unfortunate run-ins with the law, Lawrence realized just how influential their role is in the making or breaking of a celebrity's career. Determined not to let that happen, Lawrence instead jumped right back into work. The result is RUNTELDAT, a concert film that 1) shows the media that they can't keep him down, and 2) gives him a chance to tell his side of the story. Of course, those rather bizarre occurrences aren't the only topics of discussion here. From September 11th, to parenthood, to relationships and divorce, Lawrence uses his oft-mimicked brand of profanity laden insight to try to make sense of things. And then there are the "incidents"--a drug freak-out in the middle of a busy Los Angeles intersection, a fight in a nightclub, and a jogging episode that landed the star in a near-death coma. Lawrence pulls no punches in telling his side of the story, resulting in a hysterical, yet always humane, concert film.

Critics Reviews

Variety
By turns defiant and apologetic, gleefully raunchy and anxiously defensive.
San Francisco Chronicle
A movie that is not only achingly funny but also full of serious and philosophical truisms.
