Ernesto devises a plan to keep expenses in check, which includes having his wife, Polita, who yearns to be a more Americanized woman, do all the cooking for the reception. Only, he does not know, for the past several years, Polita has been feeding him packaged Mexican food, which eventually ruins Ernesto's theory that it is his wife's homemade Mexican food that keeps his hair so thick and black.

When the finances get tough, Ernesto approaches Lora's padrinos, Maxmio and Carlotta, ( wanna-be forty-something gangsters) who agree to help pay for the wedding expenses if Ernesto will set-up their gangster son, Julio, with Ernesto’s daughter, Maria.

Ernesto goes with his mother to a good witch, who says she can counter the curse, if Ernesto will wear an outlandish cruz de caravaca, red underwear, shorts, and socks for two weeks; this means Ernesto will have to look like an idiot at his daughter's wedding.

To add to the turmoil, Lora's fiance's ( Juan) long lost mother, Isabelle shows up just before the wedding and Ernesto, whose heart begins to soften, invites his daughter’s dear friend, Pati, to join the family for a double wedding.

E.T. has been playing there since it opened in 1982 and that's the most normal thing about the town.

themselves The People For Moral Decency who are fanatically campaigning to have cable television banned from their town.

Luckily Eddie brought along his best friend, Fragman Dave, to protect him. Fragman is a Vietnam vet and as long as he isn't making Eddie watch Platoon, he'll protect him with his life.

Research into his past confirms Eddie’s worst fears. Kids in town actually dress up as some of the dead relatives for Halloween. "Awful lookin' things." Sheriff Law explains, "You see he was stabbed, shot, set on fire, and hurled off a cliff."

The only good thing is a nice-looking local woman, named June, seems to be attracted to Eddie. Too bad the continuing attacks on his life get in the way of a nice quiet dinner with her.

Then suddenly buddy and protector, Fragman Dave, disappears.

Eddie’s birthday dawns on a bright, beautiful Sunday. It's his last day on earth and his first thought is to go to church. His second thought is to get drunk, but they don't sell beer in Bellsville on Sundays.
