This is full of laughs. It's about a white guy who's in a black family and lives in a primarily black neighborhood. One would expect this guy to have a hard time in this situation, but he fits right in.
I wouldn't have found this movie if I hadn't been watching cable late one night. This should be more popular than it is. It's hilarious.
