Als die zweieiigen Zwillinge Kyle und Peter Reynolds erfahren, dass ihr Vater noch am Leben ist und nicht - wie von ihrer Mutter behauptet - an Krebs starb, steht für die beiden eins fest: Sie werden ihn finden. Die abenteuerliche Suche nach ihren Wurzeln führt die Männer auf eine ungewöhnliche Reise quer durchs Land und mitten hinein in das verworrene Liebesleben ihrer Mutter. (Puls4)

Pretty decent work for a debut and it's good to see Owen Wilson after a long time. The story is quite interesting, about twins who decide to search for their father and find out that it won't be easy the first time, as their mother was raging at the disco in the 70s and had no problem spreading her legs. There are a few funny sexual innuendos, it's well paced and surprisingly has a very good final twist that was a decent surprise. 65%.

Owen Wilson and Ed Helms definitely have comic potential, and it showed in some scenes, but this journey to find one’s own father didn't work. It's lengthy, playing on the performances of the supporting actors without the script giving them anything interesting. Another bad, well-cast American comedy.
