Synopsis
Leading an all-star comedy cast, Martin Lawrence is talk-show sensation RJ Stevens, who has left behind his modest Southern upbringing and family name and transformed himself into a self-help guru dispensing his "Team of Me" philosophy to millions of adoring fans. With a reality TV-star fiancee 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 LA, but he's just one of the guys in Dry Springs as folks say Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins.
