I'm A Martin Lawrence Fan So I Ranked 19 Of His Movies From Hilarious To Kinda Funny

Since the 1990s, the originalDef Comedy Jamhost has been bringing humor to the masses through several movies and his renowned NAACP-winning television seriesMartin— which is still nationally syndicated.

Although Martin Lawrence is comparable to major comedian actors like Eddie Murphy and Dave Chapelle, Lawrence is still in a league of his own. My love for Martin Lawrence movies has inspired me to rank 19 of his movies from hilarious to just kinda funny.

Everything from this movie is too hilarious, especially Martin Lawrence going undercover in a full woman suit, imitating a typical old-school Black grandmother, a.k.a a "big momma."Big Momma's Housewas a great character comedy with buddy cop genre undertones.

By far,Blue Streakis one of Martin Lawrence's funniest films. This entire movie was filled with comical characters, including the legendary comedian Dave Chapelle. Lawrence had the right comedic timing without going overboard, and his costar Luke Wilson complemented Martin Lawrence's silliness well.

Black Knightis one of the funniest movies with a time travel plotline ever. Martin Lawrence using anachronism for comedic effect was *chef's kiss*.

Bad Boysis the ultimate buddy cop film, and Martin Lawrence was the ultimate side-kick. As funny as Will Smith was in this role, Martin Lawrence stole the show with his humorous comebacks.

Not only was Martin Lawrence funny inWelcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins,but so was the entire ensemble cast. Lawrence has a great habit of allowing other comedians to shine with him in his movies, and as a result, what is a funny movie becomes an epically hilarious movie. Having Mo'Nique, Mike Epps, and Cedric the Entertainer inWelcome Home, Roscoe Jenkinsmade Lawrence's movie a really superb comedy.

Satire is always a great tool utilized by comedians, and Martin Lawrence used it well in his filmNational Security.Although some scenes were excessively silly, the movie is still good and will keep you laughing.

Martin Lawrence was awesome as Eddie Murphy's costar inLife.The movie is on the serious side, but has many funny moments inserted for comedic relief.Lifeis a great movie, but it isn't Murphy's nor Lawrence's funniest work. Albeit Michael Taliferro's cornbread fight scene with Murphy and Lawrence is too funny.

This last installment of theBig Mommaseries is funny, however has minimal scenes with Martin Lawrence as Big Momma. Instead, the film focuses on his stepson Trent as he goes undercover as a college girl after witnessing the murder of a cop by a Russian gangster. Of course, Trent (Brandon T. Jackson) was comedic; however, his role wasn't as hysterical as Martin Lawrence's Big Momma character.

Nothing to Loseis funny, but it felt a bit like it was trying too hard to be funny.

BadBoys for Lifehad an extreme plot twist compared the first twoBad Boys,as well as some shocking revelations. This was a funny movie that took you more on an emotional roller coaster ride than on a linear laugh train. Don't get me wrong —Bad Boys for Lifeis filled with humor, but both Lawrence and Smith have given funnier performances in other movies. I only laughed some of the time at Lawrence during this movie.

Now Martin Lawrence as the DJ inHouse Partyhad some funny comments and clapbacks; however, this role didn't display his true abilities as a comedic character.

Again, Martin Lawrence was only a side character, so he wasn't able to be his hilarious self full force. However, just because he wasn't completely exercising all of his comedy chops inBoomerang, doesn't mean he didn't use his character to make the movie super funny. I rank this movie as only kinda funny simply because Martin Lawrence produced funnier movies when he became the one greenlighting them.

Wild Hogswas pretty funny, but was more of a blasé comedy for Martin Lawrence.
