Overview
Adopted as a child, new father Mel Colpin decides he cannot name his son until he knows his birth parents, and determines to make a cross-country quest to find them. Accompanied by his wife, Nancy, and an inept yet gorgeous adoption agent, Tina, he departs on an epic road trip that quickly devolves into a farce of mistaken identities, wrong turns, and overzealous and love-struck ATF agents.

Viewing Notes
Can’t remember why I requested this movie. Maybe this viewing will reveal why.
They didn’t have DNA testing in mid-90s? Also no laws around baby seats in cars? Dig seeing babyfaced Josh Brolin.
Not very cohesive but fun for having this assembled cast mixing it up. Perhaps that’s why I requested it? Jenkins is the highlight for sure.
