Director: Lawrence Sher, Roadshow Entertainment.
Cast: Owen Wilson, Ed Helms, Glenn Close, Christopher Walken, J.K. Simmons.
Brothers Kyle (Wilson, Zoolander 2, The Grand Budapest Hotel) and Peter Reynolds (Helms, The Hangover films, We’re the Millers) were taught by their eccentric mother to believe their father had died when they were young.
When they discover this to be a lie, the two fraternal twin brothers set out together to find their real father, and end up learning more about their mother than they probably ever wanted to know.
Veteran cinematographer Sher makes his directorial debut with this one, but it doesn’t quite succeed as a comedy. There’s poor chemistry with feeble bonding making for weary viewing.
