An innocent family reunion descends into all-out chaos when simmering resentment and unspoken animosities rise to the surface in director Red Grant's affectionate and reflective comedy. Every year the Best and the Black families gather to fire up the grill, dust off the horseshoes, and spend the day catching up on all the latest familial happenings -- but this year things seems to get particularly ugly. Though Uncle Ringworm and Aunt Gertrude do their best to keep the peace amidst arguments dealing with everything from pimping to bad breath, nothing seems to be able to slow the downward spiral of the usually jovial annual family gathering.
