Storyline

After coming home from being on the road for a week Bernie Mac wants nothing else to do but to go to sleep. But that suddenly changes when he gets invited to a Clippers/Bulls game as he has Jordan fake an asthma attack so they can sneak off to the game. Jordan though later thinks he should come clean to Aunt Wanda, but Bernie says bending the truth is OK sometimes to get what you want. Very bad advice for Jordan. Even more interesting, we learn the whole family tells lies. Written by gorzecho

Wonderfully funny
13 December 2008 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

The Mac Man wants to attend a Bulls game, and has Jordan fake an asthma attack to get out of the house. One of the jokes is, he is hoping to see Michael Jordan -- and Jordan is not there that night. Also, thanks to comments made by buddy Billy Crystal, who also was at the game, we find Mac and Jordan ended up sitting practically in the nosebleed section. Crystal of course sat court side. Of course, the whole thing comes back to bite Benie square on the arse when Wanda finds out where the boys were, since Bernie was supposed to be having dinner with her and some friends that night. The give and take between Mac and Crystal is priceless.
