Meet Frank and Nancy Teagarten: The staunchly lower upper-class family with their shiny black Range Rover and tasteful Tudor style home. They’re anxiously dropping off their daughter at her first day of college, and the two parents couldn’t be prouder. However, a visit by the repo man shortly after leaves them scrambling to make ends meet & their wealth, it seems, is less secure than we thought! Committed to getting their daughter through college, they hold a house-wide yard-sale coupled by a night of heavy drinking and wake up to some very regrettable decisions. This sees them try to hide their evaporating net worth from friends and family-alike in an ever-increasing downward spiral of elaborate neighborhood schemes. (Vertical Entertainment)

A really bad comedy that isn't even funny. I am searching my memory in vain to recall whether I've ever seen Salma Hayek or Alec Baldwin in a worse film, and I have the strong impression that I haven't, because the "jokes" aren't funny, the story makes no sense, Baldwin is desperately unbelievable as a bitter cynical loser in an expensive suit, and Salma Hayek is completely clueless.

Terrible bullshit that gets further away from reality with every scene, lets the actors embarrass themselves at their own discretion and executes the twists with a Scary Movie logic. And on top of that, it’s not funny at all. Salma is still hot, but that doesn’t help.
