Percy Jones (Bernie Mac) is taking no chances with his daughter Theresa's (Zoe Saldana) future.
Even before he meets Simon Green, her latest boyfriend, Percy has him checked out. On paper, he
passes with flying colors -- great job, good investments and a promising future. But there's one
thing the credit report didn't tell him: Simon Green (Ashton Kutcher) is white. Not that there's
anything wrong with that. Unless, of course, Simon wants to marry his daughter. Which he does. |

Yet another remake of a classic movie - only this time it's the black father who's the closet racist. (The original featured the great Spenser Tracey as the dad and Sidney Poitier as the prospective son-n-law). Given that one of the writers is the hilarious Peter Tolan (The Larry Sanders Show, Rescue Me) it's bound to have it's moments. Unless he's comletely off form of course! |
