Questioned parentage is a common theme in stories – Mamma Mia! hinges on the idea, to name just one example – and now the idea is being used to fuel a comedy called Who's Your Daddy? Owen Wilson, Ed Helms and Glenn Close star in the new movie, which has put its first trailer online.
Known in the States by the slightly riskier Bastards, we're introduced to Peter (Helms) and Kyle (Wilson) Reynolds, brothers who for years have had an image of a kind, heroic father in their head. He died when they were both young, inspiring Peter in particular to become a cancer doctor.
But then their mother (Close) reveals the truth: she's not actually sure who their father is. Thrown into confusion and chaos, the brothers set out on a mission to discover the truth. Among the candidates? J.K. Simmons' anger merchant and former American Football player and current pundit/actor Terry Bradshaw. And as they dig deeper into their mother's relationship history, they discover more about her than they truly wanted to...
We'll see how this one pans out as Who's Your Daddy? arrives in the UK on February 3.
