Bert's drunken past catches up with him 20 years down the road when he and his father are kidnapped by those Bert wronged 20 years ago while drunk on a college semester abroad in Russia.
This film feels like Chunk from "The Goonies" (1985) grew up and finally told us where he's been for the past 36 years.
FUN FACT: Bert's real life wife LeeAnn Kreischer can be seen near the start of the film, as the mom at the Sweet 16 party who Bert does not get along with.
