In a quest to find his biological parents, Mel Coplin (Ben Stiller) -- joined by his wife (Patricia Arquette), and a sexy adoption counselor (Téa Leoni) -- embarks on a cross country search for his "roots." Yet as he careens from one outrageous situation to another, Mel finds himself tempted by the seductive counselor -- even as his wife starts a flirtation of her own! By the time they meet up with his free-spirited birth parents, the whole situation is spinning hysterically out of control! (official distributor synopsis)
