Premise [ ]
Kyle and Peter Reynolds (Owen Wilson and Ed Helms ) are two fraternal twin brothers who have learned that their father did not die when they were young as they had previously believed, and that their eccentric mother, Helen Baxter (Glenn Close ) had slept with many rich, famous and powerful men in the 1970's. They go on a road trip across America to find out who their real father is after their mother's wedding, finding out more about their mother than they probably ever wanted to know in the process of finding their father.
