Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat

With RUNTELDAT, troubled actor-comedian Martin Lawrence 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. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)
