In an effort to ward off a boorish hometown suitor, college student Rebecca (Carla Gugino) asks her spaced-out roommate, Crawl (Pauly Shore), to pose as her fiancé during a trip home to the family farm for Thanksgiving. But Rebecca's conservative family doesn't know what to make of their prospective son-in-law -- who teaches some hayseeds how to do the funky chicken. By and by, Crawl's feigned love for Rebecca gives way to the real thing.
