A devoted husband and father with an explosive sexual secret prepares to celebrate his birthday with the family, but when his daughter comes home from college with her new boyfriend in tow things quickly get out of hand. Martin Foley is living a lie. On the surface he's just another clean-cut suburbanite, but a look beneath reveals a man whose insatiable appetite for sex could put both his family and his future in peril. Martin doesn't trust his daughter's boyfriend Scott, and for good reason. By the end of this day, a scheming young college student will have an entire suburban family held tightly in his grip. Will he allow them to continue wandering through their lives blind to the truth that stands directly before them, or reveal the truth and let the consequences be damned. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
A slacker tries to do the right thing for his family with unexpectedly chaotic results in this independent comedy. Salman (Scott Prendergast) is an out-of-work twentysomething who has few skills and fewer prospects. However, things are significantly worse for his older brother -- his National Guard unit has been called back to Iraq, and his wife, Leslie (Lisa Kudrow), needs to go back to work in order to support their children. However, Leslie doesn't have anyone to look after her two sons, so when Salman learns of her sad situation, he volunteers to move in and help mind the kids. Salman quickly discovers the boys are nearly psychotic and will stop at nothing to get him out of the house, including putting sharp objects in his breakfast. With the household still short on money, Leslie helps Salman get a job, and soon he's become the corporate mascot for a failing Internet company, who pounds the pavement wearing a strange blue costume hoping to drum up interest in renting space in the corporate offices. The first feature film as writer and director for actor Scott Prendergast, Kabluey also stars Christine Taylor, Conchata Ferrell, Teri Garr, and Chris Parnell. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
