The movie’s title offers a significant hint, as it explores the intersection of government-funded cloning and the protagonists’ shared African American identity, adding a profound social dimension to the narrative. However, the film’s first trailer also suggests that there will be ample comedic relief to balance the weighty conversations it sparks.

The film is executive produced by Poppy Hanks, Jack L. Murray, Dana Sono, and Mark R. Wright, with Foxx, Rettenmaier, and Taylor serving as producers.
