WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Fraternal twin brothers Kyle (Wilson) and Peter (Helms) learn that their biological father did not die when they were younger, as they were led to believe, and that his true identity is made unclear due to their mother Helen (Close) being sexually promiscuous in her youth. Together, the brothers go on a road trip to track down their real father, and learn far more about their family history – as well as their mother’s rowdy behaviour – than they ever wanted to know…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Regular Todd Phillips cinematographer Lawrence Sher makes his directorial debut with this raunchy and rowdy comedy about learning your parentage in the most embarrassing ways possible.
