Two unlikely brothers, separated at birth, discover family while navigating hilarious, wholesome hijinks.
Feel-good and crowd-pleasing, with big broad humor. A comfort watch at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Not on a US subscription service as of Oct 28, 2026.
For a PG, this one goes further: some innuendo or implied sex. Beyond that, mild language and nothing scary.
Our estimate: fine from about 10. Rated PG.
