Seeking amendment, he teams up with a tyrannical Scottish chef known as "The Butcher" and enters an international BBQ competition.

The BBQ received negative reviews from critics and audiences. It holds a 33% approval rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, based on 9 reviews, with an average rating of 3.7/10.[3]

Leigh Paatsch of the Herald Sun called the film "so overwhelmingly bland, you often forget how faintly awful it consistently remains from beginning to end."[4] Luke Buckmaster of The Guardian wrote, "Jacobson may be the best thing about the director and co-writer Stephen Amis' The BBQ, though that is not the same as saying he comes even remotely close to saving it."[5]
