Director Director Luke Greenfield's bromantic comedy is a tonal mess, shifting from immigrant drama to infantile comedy. It's almost like someone created the screenplay off of the narrative limbs of others. Mendez deserves better.

For the banal Half Brothers, a beneficial perspective would be one of the "eyes shut" variety.

Espinosa and Del Rio have little to build on than their characters' flimsy outline, and neither can really make their rapport work.

The screenplay is a kind of deep-dyed mediocrity that the film and its cast cannot transcend.
