With only a few clues as to the real identity of their father, the boys set out on an adventurous road-trip searching for dad in this Warner Bros. Pictures movie. All the while, they make discoveries and revelations about their mother, themselves and each other.
In “Father Figures,” Owen Wilson (“The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Wedding Crashers”) and Ed Helms (“The Hangover” films, “We’re the Millers”) star as fraternal twins Kyle and Peter who accidentally discover they’ve been living with a lie all their lives. The kindly man in the photo on their mantle isn’t their real father after all. He is only an invention their mother (Oscar nominee, Glenn Close – Fatal Attraction, Sunset Boulevard) concocted to conceal the truth: that she actually doesn’t know who their real father is.
“Father Figures” marks the directorial debut of veteran cinematographer Lawrence Sher (“The Hangover” films). It also stars Oscar winner J.K. Simmons (“Whiplash”), comedian Katt Williams, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback-turned-actor Terry Bradshaw, Ving Rhames (the “Mission Impossible” films), Harry Shearer (“The Simpsons”), and Oscar nominee June Squibb (“Nebraska”) and Oscar winner Christopher Walken (“The Deer Hunter”).
