À propos de ce film

Owen Wilson and Ed Helms play twin brothers whose mother (Glenn Close) raised them to believe their father had died when they were young, which they later discover to be a lie, prompting them to set out to find their real father. On the way they discover more about their mother than they ever wanted to know. J.K. Simmons, Katt Williams, Terry Bradshaw (NFL Hall of Famer as himself), Ving Rhames and Christopher Walken costar in this outrageous and heart-warming comedy.

Notes et avis

Just OK. Three stars, because of the ethical nature of the story line, which emphasises the need for both a father and a mother in the rearing of children. If the story-line had matured beyond the obvious attempt to squeeze comedy out of every scene, I would have given it a five. Owen Wilson appears exhausted; diminishing his lengthy use of wit that makes his films stand out from the rest. Cast is broad and well selected, but the road trip "quest" and the ethical issues it addresses, is the thing that keeps this movie moving. All in all, if you can overlook some unnecessarily crass scenes and a little bit of the dialogue, it's worth renting.

Anothet classic wilson performance 🙄. God why does he always play a himbo role? Cant stand him. Good for a giggle as the story unfolds.

Another lame American comedy.
