In this
riotously funny Southern-fried comedy, written by Hope, Jones, and Wooten—also
known for The Dixie Swim Club and Hallelujah Girls—the three Verdeen cousins could not have picked a
worse time take over planning the family reunion, but they can’t back out now.
Unfortunately, they face an uphill battle as a parade of wildly
eccentric Verdeens gathers on the hottest day of July, smack-dab in the middle
of Texas tornado season. As this fast-paced romp barrels toward its uproarious
climax, you’ll wish your own family reunions were this much fun!
