- QUICK TAKE:
- Comedy: A standup comedian tries to juggle various responsibilities and conflicts as he and his son spend time with his mom and family for Easter.
- PLOT:
Joe Valencia (JO KOY) is a standup comedian best known for appearing in a beer commercial with a catchphrase everyone knows. His agent has managed to land him a possible major role in a network sitcom, but Joe doesn't want to use a heavy Filipino accent as requested.
As he tries to sort that out, he sets out for his mother's home in Daly City, CA with his teenage son, Junior (BRANDON WARDELL), for the Easter holiday. While Junior gets to know local girl Ruth (EVA NOBLEZADA), Joe tries to make peace between his mom, Susan (LYDIA GASTON), and aunt, Theresa (TIA CARRERE), with the rest of the family hoping for a peaceful resolution of the spat before dinner time.
Meanwhile, Joe must contend with his cousin, Eugene (EUGENE CORDERO), who borrowed money from him to start a food truck business, only to run afoul of local criminal Dev Deluxe (ASIF ALI) who Eugene now owes $40,000 to.
With Joe running into his old flame turned local cop, Vanessa (TIFFANY HADDISH), as well as local celebrity Lou Diamond Phillips (LOU DIAMOND PHILLIPS), he tries to figure out how to get that money, keep the peace in the family, and get back to Los Angeles in hopes of landing that sitcom role.
- WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
- Unless they're fans of someone in the cast or have Filipino roots (or interest therein), it doesn't seem that likely.
- WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13
- For some strong language, and suggestive references.
