synopsis
RJ Stevens left behind his modest Southern upbringing and family name to transform into a self-help guru dispensing his "Team of Me" philosophy to millions of adoring fans. With a reality-TV-star fiancee and money to burn, there's no piece of the Hollywood dream RJ hasn't achieved. After his parents request that he come home for their 50th wedding anniversary, the TV host packs up his 10-year-old son and diva bride-to-be and heads back to Georgia. It's a chance to prove to his family that he's no longer the awkward kid they relentlessly picked on. At least, that's the plan. But, when his crazy, lovable family calls him on his big-city attitude and challenges him at every turn, RJ is forced to take a hard look at the man he's become. He may be a superstar in L.A., but he's just one of the guys in Dry Springs.

Lee (Roll Bounce) to do crass routines that should have gone out with minstrel shows. Oh, yeah, dogs have hot sex. And a skunk sprays all over the…
Surprise, surprise: Roscoe Jenkins, formulaic though it may be, is funnier and more tender than you'd ever expect. Think Meet the Parents-meets-Def Comedy Jam. Story To TV viewers and his Survivor-winning fiancee Bianca (Joy Bryant), Roscoe Jenkins (Martin Lawrence) is known as R.J. Stephens, a self-help guru whose "Team of Me" philosophy has won him millions of adoring fans and faithful followers. Roscoe's ginormous Southern family, however, doesn't approve of how "Hollywood" he has become and… |
