Meet the Browns (2008)

Brenda (Angela Bassett) is a single mother living in urban Chicago who’s struggling to make enough money to support herself and her kids. Matters become worse when she loses her job and is notified that her long lost father has died. She decides that she will attend his funeral in Georgia, which should bring some sense of closure to that part of her childhood. While in Georgia she meets her father’s kin, the zany and fun-loving Brown family. Brenda takes comfort in the simplicity and ease of the southern life and gets to know the entire Brown family. Along with reviving her life, Brenda also meets a new special friend who is poised to turn her world upside down.
