Pineapple Express To Venus

Our boys try to come to grips with their relationships with their parents.  Seth has to get over the fact that his dad used to raid the fridge in the middle of the night and eat all of the leftovers.  Sol needs to get over the fact that his mother never accepted that Sol wasn't a homosexual, just because he liked Barbie dolls when he was six (he used to pretend they were hookers).  And they have to figure all this out while trying to repel an invasion of Earth from Venus during a double blind date.
