Synopsis: Percy Jones takes great pride in the knowledge that he is always right, especially when it comes to the welfare of his family. When his daughter Theresa brings her new boyfriend, Simon Green, home to meet Percy and his wife Marilyn, he is unaware that Simon has already proposed to Theresa and plans to announce the engagement at Percy and Marilyn's 25th anniversary party. As far as Percy's concerned, no man will ever be good enough for his baby girl and the long line of struggling-artist types Theresa has dated so far has only served to bolster his conviction. So that there are no unpleasant surprises this time around, Percy, a bank loan officer, runs a credit check on Simon. The young man, a successful stockbroker, certainly looks good on paper, and for the first time, Percy is actually looking forward to meeting one of his daughter's boyfriends. However, the young man he has envisioned--a dazzling combination of Denzel Washington, Colin Powell and Tiger Woods--is not who arrives at his doorstep. Percy is aghast and more than a little indignant when his daughter presents her decidedly Caucasian boyfriend. Once he is over his initial shock, Percy begins interrogating Simon about his family history, education, career, and favorite sports. Feeling pressured to impress his prospective father-in-law, Simon boasts of his (nonexistent) past as a NASCAR driver, which only serves to arouse Percy's suspicions. Regardless, Simon's repeated attempts to make a good impression are futile. Percy rebuffs him at every turn and makes it his mission to expose Simon as a fraud and undermine his daughter's new relationship.

U.S. Rating: PG-13
I'd consider this movie the racial version of Meet the Parents. Both movies are really funny, and both of them are the same kind of plot. The baby girl loved and protected by her dad, who tries to keep every single man away from her, bringing a set of different and funny situations between the future son-in-law, daughter and rest of the family. In this movie, Bernie Mac (a black guy) doesn't trust his new daughter's boyfriend who is a white guy. From the beginning, we face some really funny scenes and situations that will keep you entertained. Bernie Mac plays such a really funny role in this movie, as the protective father who expects to have a handsome, tall, athlete, successful black son-in-law. When he faces reality, he starts trying to keep him away from his daughter and even lies about him to his co-workers, describing Kutcher as Jamal, the handsome, tall, athlete, successful black son-in-law. Ashton Kutcher, well, my wife loves him, but I believe he plays a foolish role in this movie, balanced by Zoe Saldana's part who plays a more serious down-to-earth role in this movie.
What did I like from this movie?
1. The scene when they arrive to Bernie's house and he shakes hands and welcome the taxi driver (the black guy) thinking that he's his son-in-law and asks Kutcher to bring the luggage into the house
2. When Bernie Mac gets to the basement on the first night at home and Kutcher gets in bed thinking that Bernie is leaving the room, but he turns the light off and gets in bed with him
3. The whole scene situation with Bernie's wife and her sisters, such a great black women reunion
4. The grandpa and the whole situation at the dinner table, with the jokes about black people, especially when he asks for Kutcher's grandmother's address after his comment about her joke
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. There were scenes or part of this plot that should have more information. For example, nobody knows what happens with Kutcher's job or future at the end of the movie, they just know his present unemployed situation. If they started the movie with his resignation, if it was part of the whole discussion on this plot, why didn't they include a conclusion about it?
2. The whole thing about the $50000, it looked like just a part of the plot that had no connection with anything else, came from nowhere and they tried to tie it with a short scene trying to get a loan from his new father-in-law
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Enjoy it!... Watch it!
This is one of my favorite movies of all time! I think Bernie Mac is hilarious in everything and Ashton Kutcher is the only actor that makes me feel like I'm 13 years old with a crush! HAHA
