Synopsis

After being downsized, a 33-year-old marketing executive comes up with an unusual solution: He puts himself on an African adoption-agency Website claiming to be a four-year-old named Matumbo from Nairobi. Matumbo is adopted by the Goldbergs, a clueless suburban couple who don't believe he's 4, but they think he might be 16 so they take him in anyway. "Matumbo Goldberg,"follows Matumbo on his adventures in suburbia as he takes advantage of his new parents and must go through the same rites of passage that any child would, including getting his Bar Mitzvah, dealing with a new sister, even finding his parents' 'sex tape'. Ultimately, Matumbo Goldberg learns the value of family--a slightly-messed-up family, but a family all the same.
