Logline:

A successful talk show host leaves Los Angeles to reunite with his family in the Deep South.

Plot Summary:

Leading an all-star comedy cast, Martin Lawrence is talk-show sensation RJ Stevens, who 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 fianc�e 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 as folks say "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins".
