Stiller, Arquette, their nameless new-born son, and Leoni trek across America to San Diego in search of Stiller's biological parents. When they get there, the reunion is a happy one, until Leoni realizes she's made a mistake and the family is the incorrect one. Who are Stiller's real parents? Where do they live? I'll let you see for yourself, but I'll tell you that Stiller's parents are perfectly played by Alan Alda and Lily Tomlin.
This film is absoutely packed with some of the best humor I've seen recently at the movies. Mary Tyler Moore and George Segal play Stiller's overprotective adopting parents constantly worried about their son's cross-country trip. This film is in extremely limited release so if you get the chance to see it, do so.
