Fraternal twins Kyle and Peter have always been at odds with each other. At the recent wedding of their mom (Glenn Close), the twins realized that their father, who they thought was long dead, is not who their mom claimed to be. Their mom confessed that she had been lying all these years, and she's been with many men back in the disco era (70s). And so began a long road trip in search of the twins' real dad. It was a bonding adventure that would make the twins know & appreciate each other better; aside from finding out who their real father is.
At first I thought it was just another comedy which stars Owen Wilson and Ed Helms. I was pleasantly surprised to find it funny and endearing. Wilson and Helms have great chemistry, even though they don't really look like brothers. Wilson have always been this rugged-looking funny guy, while Helms is the nerdy, over- critical dude. Glenn Close who plays their "wild" mom is perfect for her role.
Most of the critics hated the movie, but I find it a real treat ! It's a "gem" of a movie that should be seen by everyone who's been having family issues. There are plenty of twists & turns until the mom finally reveals the truth about the actual father. Not all jokes worked though, especially that peeing scene between Kyle and a boy. But there are plenty to laugh about. Co-starring Terry Bradshaw, Ving Rhames, J.K. Simmons, Katt Williams, and Christopher Walken. Directed by Lawrence Sher who was a cinematographer in the HANGOVER movies. Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures. Rated R.
