    Storyline

    Edit
    Percy and Marilyn are renewing their vows for their anniversary, and their daughter Theresa brings her boyfriend Simon for them to meet. Unbeknownst to her parents, the kids plan to announce their engagement during the weekend. The Jones family is Black; Theresa neglects to tell them Simon is White. Race complicates Percy's general mistrust of any boyfriend, so he instigates an investigation of Simon, discovering he's recently lost his job and hasn't told Theresa. Mistrust rears its ugly head, and in the process of Theresa and Simon's argument, Marilyn and Percy fall out. What can the men do to cross the divide between each other and between men and women? Will anyone be exchanging vows? —<jhailey@hotmail.com>

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The director's reason for making the film? "I have a 12-and-a-half-year-old daughter who's beautiful, and I'm sure she's going to come home one day with some Lithuanian, Samoan, punk-rock drummer dude, and I thought if I did this movie I'd be able to work out my issues before that day comes."
    • Goofs
      Even though the studio spent $100,000 to digitally remove Ashton Kutcher's red Kabbalah bracelet, it can still be clearly seen when he is drinking coffee in the "breakfast scene."
    • Quotes

      Percy: I don't want to hear about you sleeping with my daughter - you're sleeping with me now.

    • Crazy credits
      During the credits we get to see the home video of the wedding, and hear the main characters comment on the events.

    And it's still funny and romantic. Bernie Mac, Ashton kutcher and Zoë Zaldaña had a great chemistry in the screen.
