| | Under One Roof (2008)An ex-con, Calvester (Flavor Flav) moves in with his wealthy, conservative brother Winston (Kelly Perine), turning one family's life upside down. Calvester and Winston Hill are as different as night and day. You would think they grew up on opposite sides of the track but the fact is these brothers grew up in the same house (on opposite sides of the room. While Calvester hung posters of bootylicious babes and hoop stars on his side of the room, Winston hung posters of Donald Trump and Bryant Gumble). To say that Winston was motivated would be a definite understatement, he would do anything to get ahead. Calvester on the other hand is a lovable guy with a heart of gold and teeth to match, he'll give you the shirt off his back even if he has to fracture a law or two to do it...and that's exactly what happened that fateful night. After a night of partying, Winston wrecked a car and in order to save his brother's reputation and bright future, Calvester volunteered to take the rap. As a result, Winston enrolled at an Ivy League school while Calvester spent his time in prison avoiding an inmate named Ivy! It's years later and Winston Hill is a successful, wealthy real estate developer with a white trophy wife named Ashley, a seventeen year-old princess named Heather, and a sixteen year-old son, Winston Jr., who is being groomed to follow in his father's footsteps. Calvester has a few kids of his own (nine to be exact). His life is filled with his homies, baby momma drama and parole, but through it all he always sees the brighter side of things. When Calvester moves into Winston's Beverly Hill's mansion both of their worlds are rocked. Coexisting in this privileged world of the rich and snobby is challenging for Calvester. Calvester, “Hell, I had more freedom in the big house than I do at my brother's house.” Winston feels like his brother is a constant reminder of the life he chose to leave behind. Winston, “I traded my black upbringing for a black card.” These brothers are about to find that they have way more in common than they think as they live UNDER ONE ROOF.
