So the premise is a young boy 25 years earlier in Mexico has a good relationship with his dad, but a weak Peso forces dad to go to the USA to find work. They lose contact over the years, the boy is greatly disappointed in dad, but grows to be a successful but unsympathetic aviation executive.
He gets a call that dad is very sick in Chicago, he reluctantly goes to see dad one last time. There he discovers he has a red-headed half brother who is totally unlike him. Dad is coy, he won't explain what all happened over the 25 years, he has put together a puzzle of sorts, if the two half brothers will go on a road trip and figure out the clues it will all become clear.
So the meat of the movie is the road trip and discoveries they make, including learning to appreciate their family ties. I admit that I enjoyed it most of the time, much of the humor is well done but I would not place it among the movies I would like to re-watch.
On DVD from our public library. My wife skipped, not her kind of movie.
