The former 'Two and a Half Men' actor will also executive produce the comedy, in which he will play Charlie Jones, and has said he hopes people have "open dialogue" after seeing the streaming movie, which features no offensive dark humour.
Appearing on 'Good Morning America', he said: "The film is hysterical, it's funny as hell. It's very diverse.
"There's a scene where we all pass around a megaphone and tell the most racially-inappropriate jokes in the history of the known universe, and it's funny as hell.
"No one in the movie offended so I do believe that anyone watching it won't be, either."
And the 51-year-old star says shows like this are needed with President Donald Trump coming into power on January 20.
He added: "We're not curing cancer with this type of work, but perhaps we're making it OK to have an open dialogue, which we must have, especially with what's coming in the White House. They are dicey times."
will also feature Leah Remini, Naya Rivera and Finesse Mitchell, and centres on a camping trip over the Fourth of July weekend.
Juan Gabriel Pareja, Charlotte McKinney, Chris Mulkey, Clint Howard, Chanel Iman, Barry Shabaka Henley, Lil Rel Howery, Tiffany Haddish, Efren Ramirez and Danny Mora.
Three families - one Hispanic, one African American, one Caucasian - share the same camping space but none of them will volunteer to vacate the site, leading to them staging a series of competitions to determine a winner.
Production on the movie - which has been written by David Spade and Fred Wolf - began in Los Angeles last week, but no release date has yet been set.
The film is the second venture between Wolf and Sony's digital platform Crackle, as the writer also penned and directed 'Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser' for the network.
Eric Berger, Eexecutive Vice President of digital networks at Sony Pictures Television and General Manager at Crackle, said: "It's great to be back in business with Fred, and to have Charlie on board. The combination of Fred's unique comedic voice and Charlie's sharp wit and gift for physical humour is sure to be 'winning.' Original movies are a key component of our ongoing programming strategy and 'Mad Families' is a great fit for our viewers."
