Movie Description
A charming ghetto guy on the run from loan sharks poses as a long-lost friend of a suburban lawyer in this wacky comic romp. After scamming his way into the house, he turns the WASP family upside down, and teaches them how to have fun again.
Synopsis
Two thugs chase Kevin Franklin -- who owes an astronomical sum of money to a loan shark -- through a Pittsburgh airport. Luckily, Kevin runs into Gary Young who's awaiting the arrival of a summer camp friend who he hasn't seen in 25 years. Kevin immediately assumes the identity of Gary's childhood friend and must use quick double-talk to convince Gary and his family that he truly remembers their beautifully shared past. Soon, the Young family becomes deeply attached to their new houseguest... that is, until the thugs make a surprise visit and reveal that it's all been a ruse.
