Basically one of the main characters leaves his home in Europe to pursue a relationship with a woman in the US. He's a Diamond Dealer so he might have ulterior motives, and that's what makes the movie hilarious

Of course. Family Jewels is a Romantic Comedy with Ryan Reynolds and Melissa McCarthy. Basically one of the main characters leaves his home in Europe to pursue a relationship with a woman in the US. He's a Diamond Dealer so he might have ulterior motives, and that's what makes the movie hilarious. I've seen it myself.
