    Martin Lawrence leads an all-star cast, including Cedric the Entertainer, Mo’Nique, and Mike Epps, in the hit comedy from 2008! When a celebrated TV show host (Lawrence) returns to his hometown in the South, his family is there to remind him that going home is no vacation! It’s one outrageous predicament after another when big-city attitude and small-town values collide in this over-the-top hysterical comedy.
