Screenplay Synopsis:
The members of the indie pop band Uncle Homer are wrapping up their North American tour, and they have received an invite to Lake Tahoe to play at the 30th anniversary party for actor SHEA BRANCH and his wife, EMILIA. The band accepts the invite, only because Shea and Emilia are the parents to the band's keyboard player, ARIELLE BRANCH.
When the band gets to Tahoe, they discover that Emilia invited Arielle's ex-boyfriend, JOSH DENAULT, to Tahoe in an attempt to get Arielle and Josh back together. A family friend to the Branches, Josh is an obnoxious trust fund kid who spends his time drinking, getting high, or playing video games. Annoyed with Josh's antics, Shea asks Arielle for a favor - Pretend that she's still dating the band's lead singer, EDMUND GALLAGHER; Edmund and Arielle used to date before the band got big, but they amicably broke up. Edmund and Arielle begrudgingly accept, as Edmund has a girlfriend and Arielle is developing feelings for Uncle Homer's tender guitarist KIP WELLS.
As the week goes on, Kip and Arielle get closer to each other, prompting them to sneak around so Edmund and Arielle's fake relationship isn't exposed. As Kip and Arielle get closer to each other, the members of Uncle Homer find themselves clashing with the loud-mouthed Josh and the judgmental Emilia, who makes her distaste for Uncle Homer known. Adding to that, Edmund's girlfriend, YUKARI OKUDA, comes to Tahoe to surprise the band.
Shea and Emilia's anniversary party is a disaster, culminating in Emilia shoving Kip into her cake after catching him making-out with Arielle in Arielle's bedroom. Furious that Arielle and Edmund lied about their relationship, Emilia forces them to get married before everyone leaves Tahoe. Scared that she'll lose Kip and Edmund will lose Yukari, Arielle makes the impulsive decision to marry Kip in secret. Uncle Homer, Yukari, and Josh help Kip and Arielle get married, with Josh coming to Arielle and Kip's defense after seeing how happy Arielle is with Kip. After the wedding, Arielle decides to tell her parents about her marriage to Kip, not caring what her parents think. While Emilia faints at the news, Shea supports Kip and Arielle's marriage and gives them $10,000 as a wedding gift, the amount he was going to pay the band for performing at the anniversary party.
