A shameful attempt at comedy that tries to talk a bit about immigration, but ends up being a mediocre story saturated with stereotypes.

Insipid and completely insubstantial.

When the Economy crashes Flavio (Juan Pablo Espinosa), flees to America and never returns, leaving his son to grow up without a father. The now grown-up Renato (Luis Gerardo Méndez) gets a call from his dying father’s new wife and it brings his rage to the surface, and when he goes to America to say his goodbyes, he instead learns he has a half brother, Asher (Connor Del Rio), and now has to solve his father’s riddle to find out the truth behind his life’s story. While the message of the film is beautiful, unfortunately, that message is tarnished by the unbalanced story, while the film is funny, even hilarious at times, it takes away from the main message this film is trying to send. I wish we could have just seen Flavio’s (Juan Pablo Espinosa) story I feel like the Two brothers going on a road trip was a creative but worse way of telling their father’s story, but even with all of that said I would still recommend this movie to my family and friends who like comedy and Drama. Even though this film does not fully come across as a Drama there are still moments that tug the heartstrings!

Total and absolute nonsense from the outset. Awful script, annoying dislikable characters and terrible performances although the dad was good so he got one of the two stars and the goat got the other.
