Hard to pill to swallow: Martin Lawrence hasn’t been funny in over 25 years

[Unbothered]

I love Martin Lawrence but judging by the movies he starred in during the late '90s and '00s he did go through a serious career slump It's kind of sad too because he was destined to have a much better movie career after Martin ended.

From 1997 to 2008 he starred in...

Nothing To Lose
Life
Blue Streak (wanted to bold it but I'm iffy on this one)
Big Momma's House
What's The Worst That Could Happen?
Black Knight
National Security
Bad Boys II
Rebound
Big Momma's House 2
Wild Hogs
Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins
Collage Road Trip

All of these movies during those 11 years are pretty bad but the bolded ones stand out a little more. A Thin Line Between Love and Hate is arguably his best movie his movie career after that has been pretty bad outside of a few standouts.

National Security might be his most slept on/underrated movie

I kinda mess with Roscoe Jenkins more now than back then… they play it so much on bet so that’s when I caught it one day. I guess the adult version of myself gets it more than the younger version of myself.

I've watched it a few times and the movie has moments but I just can't vibe with it I don't know if it's the plot or the ending that threw me off.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

He should’ve started doing more serious movies, especially after Life which was a solid performance.

This 100%. Always felt like Martin could play really serious roles but he's never embraced that side.

Smoked some laced weed. It fukked him up...

 

[IIVI]

Bad Boys 2 for sure though:

"A coupla grape sodas!" almost always gets me

 

[semicko82]

This was horrible
Trash

 

[Vandelay]

He was funny in all the Bad Boys. But solo, he hasn't been funny since Blue Streak.

Maybe it's the meds because he's not as animated. In Bad Boys, he tends to be the butt of the jokes.

Sidebar, they should've made him the captain at the end of BB4L. Movie went straight to FF territory.

I still tipping him and Kelsey grammar had a tv show together. I ain’t hear about it til 5 years after it was cancled

What show was this lol...I have a feeling I'll remember it if I get a name.

 

[King Poetic]

He had a good run

He just at this point like his last movie i saw mindcage, need to stick to being a cop or some serious roles

 

[Heretic]

National Security might be his most slept on/underrated movie

I barely remember that movie, I just remember him dancing in front of the police station talking about "OFFICER I GOT YO PEESAAAAAAA!" I use to repeat that shyt all the time

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

It been even longer for Chris Tucker.
