SYNOPSIS:

ACT I Michelle “Mook” Bowman has inherited a dilapidated bar and restaurant from his parents, now named Mook’s Bar & Grill. The business is floundering, on the brink of permanent closure. Mook lives with his two best (and only) friends, Buddy Fluggle and Scotty Berkshire, who double as his housemates. While wandering through town one evening, they encounter a peculiar gypsy named Madame Mercy. She resides in the basement of a decrepit, abandoned building and quickly sparks Scotty's romantic interest. Madame Mercy conducts a psychic reading and tells Mook that the solution to his woes lies in Los Angeles, California, and that he must find a man called Samuel Schwartz. With no alternative and backed into a corner, Mook reluctantly sets out on a cross-country road trip, taking Buddy and Scotty along for the ride. Meanwhile, back home, their mischievous pet macaw, Joe Jack—an unapologetically beer-swilling, weed-smoking bird—escapes the apartment and embarks on a rowdy escapade of his own. Joe Jack revels in a blur of drinking, smoking, and partying with attractive college girls. --- ACT II The road trip takes a chaotic turn when a state trooper pulls the trio over and confiscates a pound of marijuana—though surprisingly, he lets them go. Now out of weed, Scotty proposes they stop by his ex-stepfather's marijuana farm, situated deep in the Colorado mountains. On their way there, they make a disastrous detour and get lost in Atlanta’s city bluffs. Amid this misadventure, they run into a motley cast of characters: dwarf sex workers, a homeless man who robs them, and a hard-nosed towing company that seizes their car—forcing them to steal it back. At a random roadside diner in Mesa, Arizona, they stop for food, but things heat up when Buddy ends up hooking up with Pamela, the short-statured waitress, in the bathroom. --- ACT III When they finally arrive in Hollywood, the trio heads straight to the Hollywood Plateau Restaurant on Hollywood Boulevard, wherein their inquiry about Samuel Schwartz leads the bartender to offer them his address—but there’s a catch: they must get on stage and sing a karaoke track to seal the deal. The crew reluctantly agrees, treating the crowd to a rousing rendition of Shania Twain’s “Man! I Feel Like A Woman.” Armed with Schwartz’s address, they track him down at his lavish Beverly Hills mansion, where he extends an invitation to dinner. During this wild turn of events, Mook receives life-changing information—Samuel Schwartz, the eccentric millionaire they sought out, is actually his biological father. Just when it seems everything might finally fall into place, Samuel suddenly dies of a heart attack in the bathroom. Disheartened by their failure, Mook and his friends reluctantly make the journey back home. However, just when they believe it’s all over, a lawyer shows up at Mook’s door the next morning bearing incredible news: Samuel left his entire fortune of over $500 million to Mook in his will. Ecstatic with his new found wealth, Mook chooses to pay it forward by making meaningful charitable donations in his hometown, fully renovating his restaurant, and falling in love with his interior decorator. True to his word, he also shares his enormous fortune with Buddy and Scotty. Pamela and Madame Mercy eventually make their way back to greet the guys at the grand reopening of Mook’s Bar & Grill. Notably, Pamela reveals that she’s pregnant with Buddy’s child. The movie comes to a heartfelt close, as the camera zooms out from Mook’s Bar & Grill before transitioning to a nostalgic slide show of family photos featuring the gang, Joe Jack, and future generations cherishing life events like vacations, weddings, and birthdays..
