What Parents Need to Know
About Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins
Parents need to know that despite this family-reunion comedy's heartwarming message about remembering your roots and embracing your family, there are many raunchy jokes about sex -- including a scene of two dogs doing the deed. There's also plenty of foul language ("s--t," one use of "f--k," the "N" word), some of which is used in front of the characters' parents and other elders. Adult siblings bicker and get into fistfights, and there's a fair amount of social drinking (at one point, a pregnant woman drinks spiked punch).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the stereotypes depicted in the film. What parts of the movie do you think play up/reinforce stereotypes? How? Is it more OK for someone from a particular group to play up stereotypes of the same group than it is for someone outside the group to do the same thing? Why or why not?

WARNING: FULL OF LANGUAGE
I have never given a review here before, but am VERY concerned about the review on commonsensemedia.org on this particular movie. I count on your site religiously to decide on whether to allow our family (children are ages 12 and 14) to watch certain movies. This movie claimed to contain one use of the f-word and had mo mention of gd, although both were used at least twice and the entire movie was completely FULL of constant swearing and cussing. It was so offensive I was very dissapointed. The movie would have been good had it not been for this. I really wish Hollywood realized that this stuff does NOT sell movies to families! It offends and it is just not acceptable. Period. Thanks for letting me vent.

Not enough funny parts to hide the flaws
From the previews ( before the movie hit theaters) this movie looked great. Then when it came out on dvd I decided to rent it and well lets just ssay the traileres tricked me. To begin with there is way way to much swearing every other word it seemed. As far as sex goes you dont see everything but a good amount, you do see the dogs doing it which i think is a disgrace. Now that I think about it there was much more sex. There was some fighting. It shows a father not disowning his own son I think the producer was trying to make it funny but he took it to the next level and not it a good way. There is no need to add all the extra stuff i said above. There are some good jokes and funny parts though. . Like I said there are some funny parts. I don't recommend this to many kids at all. Personally I don't think its appropriate. Parents if you do let your children watch this have the remote ready.

Why the use of F**K?
Why is that word necessary in a PG-13 movie? Why the sexual content. I don't know about most parents but I don't want my 13 year old watching this kind of stuff.

Pushing it!
I think this movie would have been very good with out about four or five scenes that really didn't have to be put in the movie. It was a very borderline PG-13 movie, with it's sexual content and I would not want my children watch it if they were 13 years of age.
