Synopsis:

Lowell Lovelace is a middle-aged black male with his own business.
Lowell also has a brilliant idea to cash in on his one-eighth American
Indian heritage (and get a cut of Creek Indian casino money) by
transforming himself and his home into what he thinks is traditional
American Indian style. Unfortunately he does this the day his family
meets their daughter's fiancé's parents, the upper-crust Barondorffs.
Things are rocky but manageable for Lowell's long-suffering wife
Maggie as she deals with the snooty Barondorffs, their rapper son LAX,
neighbor Darrel, who insists on displaying his Scottish heritage with
the shrill of bag pipes, and her pre-altzheimic mother-in-law Noona, a
former girl street-gang leader. Things get dicey when Lowell mistakes
Rajeem Nasir, a Pakistani terrorist, for the Creek tribe
representative. They are all taken hostage by Rajeem, who reveals his
intention of blowing up one of the revered American and St. Louis
landmarks. Will they escape? Will the young couple get married?
Will St. Louis still have its landmark? Will the Buffalo meat burn?
Find out in this hilarious farce!
