The work is based on Sharp and Jackson's stage musical Fucking Identical Twins, which debuted at NYC's Upright Citizens Brigade in 2014. Jackson and Sharp reprise their stage performances as a pair of long-lost twins who work to trick their separated parents into rekindling their romance. Lane and Mullally co-star as those parents in the film adaptation.

The project features original songs by Sharp, Jackson, and Karl Saint Lucy. Larry Charles (Borat) directs.
