Synopsis
Simply FOBulous is a Romantic Comedy about Thuy Nguyen, a rebellious daughter who succumbs to her mother's dying wish for her to marry a Vietnamese mail-order husband.
Unwilling to marry her mail-order husband Dung when he arrives from Vietnam, Thuy loans him to her sister Van, who uses him to hold her shopping bags and other important tasks. Both sisters look down on Dung's simple Third World ways.
However, Dung finds his own way to adapt to life in America by becoming friends with a trio of bubble tea loving Vietnamese guys from work. They show him the ropes, teach him some dirty words, and help him find his way around America.
Dung reveals his secret to them, that he speaks English fluently, and that he has heard and seen what his host family really thinks of him. They've only been looking out for their own best interests, with little regard for Dung's. After all, to them, Dung is a FOB, or Fresh Off the Boat. What does he know about anything?
To everyone's surprise, Dung's secret is revealed, along with his hidden romance with an unexpected member of the Nguyen family. A wedding happens after all, and in doing so, it brings a divided family back together. Dung shows them the error of their ways, and that there is no shame in being a FOB, or as his friends put it, 'Simply FOBulous'.
