It’s family reunion day at the Sludge household but nothing seems to be going quite as planned. Virgil and Margaret, one year after their wedding, are having their first real lovers’ spat. Virgil can’t say anything to please the wife he loves so much. Virgil’s best friend, Ellard, wants to pop the question to Virgil’s sister but becomes distracted when his red-eyed tree frog disappears. Virgil’s daddy just ran over the next door neighbor’s flower bed with his four-wheeler and the law has been called to investigate.
Poor Eloise Sludge (Virgil’s high-strung mother) is about at her wit’s end trying to keep the family from falling apart before all the relatives begin arriving for the big barbeque. To top everything off, the family finds out their snooty next door neighbor has come up with a petition to have the Sludge family thrown from the neighborhood for lack of upkeep of their yard.
The barbecue is heating up, the plastic wear has been polished and the laughs are the main course as the day turns into the worst family reunion in the history of the Sludge’s nutty family tree. A great follow up to Virgil’s Wedding or easily stands alone as well. |
