Just in time for the onslaught of Oscar bait, Ed Helms and Owen Wilson star as fraternal twins in Bastards, the tale of a long-lost, much-needed father. In the literal bro comedy, the twins’ mother (Glenn Close) reveals that she lied about their supposedly dead dad — oh, and she actually doesn’t know who the proud papa is. Since it’s, you know, Glenn Close, there aren’t exactly a dearth of candidates; the potential Maury contestants include a dude with rage issues played by J.K. Simmons and former NFL star Terry Bradshaw. And so the brothers go dad-searching, though you can bet they soul-search too, learning about life and love through ABBA. Bastards hits theaters January 27. Man, if Owen Wilson is this wigged out about a paternity surprise, just wait till he finds out about Luke.
