The Cookout

Todd Anderson (Storm P) is chosen as the #1 NBA draft pick by the New Jersey Nets and signs a contract for $30 million dollars that instantly changes his life. Todd buys a new house and mistakenly invites family from the old neighborhood for a cookout on the same day he scheduled an endorsement interview.

As the new black man living in a stuffy white neighborhood, Todd attracts a lot of attention. An eccentric security guard (Queen Latifah) is poised to bust him if any of the neighborhood association's myriad of rules gets broken. Unfortunately for Todd, as the family arrives, the rules get broken. Peeping neighbors are drawn to and gawk at the group of aunts, uncles, cousins and babies. Todd becomes so focused on his image that he is embarrassed about his family, until two good-for-nothing toughs crash the party and hold Todd's girlfriend at gunpoint in order to get him to autograph his sneakers.
