So there's this nerdy sixth-grader named Melvin. He lives in
Brooklyn, and wants nothing more in life than to go to computer
camp. There he can build the ultimate robot to thwart his enemies,
do his chores, and make him look cool in front of girls. Instead,
he gets his butt kicked by a bully and a guilt trip from his
parents. Somehow, after an epic day of defeat, worry, and woe, he
agrees to spend the summer in stupid Alabama with his stupid
biologist Uncle Petro. On the drive, Melvin and Petro pick up a
couple of burping alligators from the Bronx Zoo, mistakenly become
international terrorists, and somehow survive the fartapocolypse.
Petro is attempting to save the Red Hills salamander from
extinction and drags Melvin through the culture and wilderness of
the deep, dirty South. Along the way he encounters a freakish group
of characters, including a horse-sized dog named Choopy, Melvin's
best friend Chucky (AKA DJ Chuck-N-Stuff), and a few other wierdos,
including a butt-chinned, New York reporter ruining their already
stupid lives. Stupid Alabama, growing up to discover not all things
are stupid, but a lot are.
