This movie is not very funny and quite predictable.
The quick overview: A Mexican father leaves his wife and beloved son to go to America and never comes back.
When the father dies in America, his Mexican son goes on a road trip with his , younger American half brother to figure out why dad did not come back to his Mexican family.
What I liked:
The acting of the father and the two half brothers.
The jokes about Americans who have a narrow view of Mexicans.
The "escape room" type riddles that let the brothers to their next place.
What I did not like:
The story was far fetched.
Most jokes were not funny.
The American half brother was portrayed as a real looser.
The fighting scenes between the half brothers were silly.
The scene with the balloons, trying to create Ethanol was absurd.
This movie is okay to watch but I would not really recommend it.

Fun French Dramady
14 November 2020
If you like french movies, you will like this one.
It has a smart and funny dialog, mainly by the actor/director Yvan Attal.
His wife (in the movie and in real life), actress Charlotte Gainsbourg, is a bit overly dramatic at the beginning but plays well the rest of the movie.
The story in not plausible (a dog that settle at their home and likes to hump guys), but it did not bother me.
The story is not original - a writer that has a writer's block and writes about his current situation; still, it interesting, how each chapter is about one of their kids or other family issues the writer experiences.
The movie is a bit too long, feels a bit slow in the middle, but then, gets back on track.
Good acting; good cinematography; good direction = an enjoyable movie.
