Meet The Family (2005)

5.5/10 90 min Comedy

Overview

An African-American family sits down for supper and all hell breaks loose in this independent comedy. Humphrey Rump has told his parents that he's bringing someone special over for Sunday dinner at their place, hoping to introduce them to his fiancée Lacy under calm and quiet circumstances. However, when he arrives, Humphrey discovers that's hardly how the evening is going to play out -- his folks decided to also invite his brother Darnell, sister Eve, their grandparents and a handful of cousins and other distant relations. The Rump Family doesn't get along especially well in large groups, and Humphrey and his girl are mortified by the non-stop arguing, insults and off-color ranting. Meanwhile, most of the family is a bit taken aback to discover that Lacy is pretty, polite...and white.
