Barbecue

The grill is hot, the beer is chilled and the table is set for a typical O’Mallery family barbecue. But when their drug-addicted sister Zippity Boom arrives strung-out and out of control, her siblings have finally had enough. Their ham-handed intervention ignites the fuse of this raucous and rollicking comedy that skewers our warped view of the American family.
