Plot Summary
Theresa Jones takes her boyfriend Simon Green to her parents’ home to meet them on their 25th wedding anniversary, planning to reveal that the couple are engaged. However, she has neglected to mention that Simon is white. Theresa’s father, Percy, dislikes Simon almost immediately not only because of his race, but also because he lies to him about being on the NASCAR pit crew for Jeff Gordon, not realizing that Percy is one of Gordon’s biggest fans. Marilyn, Percy’s wife, however, does likes Simon when they first meet.
Percy also happens to stumble on Simon jokingly wearing Theresa’s lingerie while the couple is playing around in her childhood bedroom. None of this helps endear Simon to Percy. After catching Theresa and Simon in the bedroom, Percy tries to force Simon into a hotel, but all the hotels in town are booked. Instead, Percy allows Simon to sleep in his basement on the couch, where Percy also sleeps so he can keep an eye on him, even though the pull-out bed hurts his back. With the help of his personal assistant Reggie, Percy tries to learn as much information about Simon as he can as well as creating the ideal black boyfriend for Theresa instead of revealing her boyfriend is white.
Reggie manages to convince Simon to reveal that he lied about being a NASCAR pit crew member and also that he needs a $50,000 loan. Simon discovers Percy’s lies just as Reggie reveals that Simon quit his job. Immediately, Percy goes to tell Theresa this new information; however, Simon insists he was not fired and instead quit. Furious that he did not tell her the truth, Theresa leaves while Percy’s spying and plagiarism of his vows temporarily strains his relationship with his wife, Marilyn. The next morning, Percy and Simon find Marilyn and Theresa at Marilyn’s sister’s house to apologize.
