When Todd Anderson signs a $30 million deal with his hometown team, the New Jersey Nets, he knows that his life is set for a big change. To keep things real, he decides to throw a barbeque at his place -- just like the ones his family used to have. But when you have new and old friends, family, agents, and product reps in the same house, things are bound to get crazy.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
A painfully unfunny, would-be comedy.
– Frank Scheck,
Hollywood Reporter,

rotten:
Todd's payday apparently sends comedy backward in time, and we're in the 1970s, ethno-sitcom style.
– Lisa Schwarzbaum,
Entertainment Weekly,

rotten:
Rivera and a host of screenwriters were apparently as cowed by Lady Em as Todd; she sucks up much of the screen time, and admirable though her family values may be, they're not exactly rip-roaring funny.
– Chuck Wilson,
L.A. Weekly,

rotten:
This is one dull party.

rotten:
Seemingly assembled from ideas on the cutting-room floor of a cancelled sitcom.
– Keith Phipps,
AV Club,
