2017 · 113 min

A breezy, silly road-trip comedy that coasts on goofy detours and easy laughs without much emotional punch.

Tagline: Finding their father would be a family miracle.
Overview: Upon learning that their mother has been lying to them for years about their allegedly deceased father, two fraternal twin brothers hit the road in order to find him.
How it feels: Light, absurd, warm and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Family, identity, found family, parenthood
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
