Genre: Drama, Comedy
Tagline: A true Brooklyn story.
Plot: Frank Giorgio's once orderly life has been thrown into chaos since the bank that loaned him money for a restaurant addition to his lobster business has folded. With the threat of a public auction looming, the very proud and stubborn Frank, played by Danny Aiello (Moonstruck, Do the Right Thing), his family and eccentric crew attempt to save the Brooklyn lobster shop that is the cornerstone of their identity. Frank's son Michael (Daniel Sauli, The Pink Panther, Boiler Room), who has chosen a much different life for himself in the tech world of Seattle, and his girl friend Kerry (Heather Burns, Bewitched, Miss Congeniality 2) return home for Christmas and, for better or worse, are dragged into the family drama that unfolds. Michael's childhood home has been sold, and his mother Maureen (Jane Curtin, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Saturday Night Live) is separating from Frank. Over the course of two extraordinary weeks, he finds himself sleeping on a pull-out couch with his dad, catching wandering lobster crates in the bay and trying to mend his relationship with Kerry in a gaudy Russian motel. While Michael joins the sometimes humorous Lobster Farm rescue efforts, Maureen is trying to keep her distance, staying with her daughter Lauren (Marisa Ryan, Riding in Cars with Boys),
