Gallo is a tough-minded, no-nonsense international businessman who never has enough time for Ginnie. At dinner together, Gallo is resolutely unimpressed by Martin, Martin grows increasingly uncomfortable, and the meal is a disaster. Six months later, Martin's broken-hearted over being dumped by Ginnie, who has "moved on", when Gallo shows up at his door looking for his daughter. Her cellphone is off and she has not responded to any texts or emails. Although it's the last thing he wants to do, Martin is "persuaded" by Gallo to take him to where Martin believes Ginnie is living. Ginnie isn't there either, and Martin and Mr. Gallo are forced to spend the rest of the day and night together, searching for her all over town. As they attempt to solve the puzzle of what is going on in Ginnie's life, they encounter her crazy friends and get into increasingly desperate jams of their own making. Some property is destroyed, some laws are broken, but an uneasy friendship between Martin and Gallo is born.... as they discover that they, rather than Ginnie, are the ones who are truly lost.

A demanding ex-almost-father-in-law and his ex-almost-son-in-law embark on a night adventure for mutual enrichment. There is hardly any humor, the script lacks creativity, the characters are generally unsympathetic, and J.K. Simmons often seems bored. At times, it even looked like someone in a very high-quality latex mask of J.K. Simmons, slightly wrinkled at the neck, was playing his part. This might have marked the beginning of Emile Hirsch's period of scraping by, which could soon culminate in a comedy where he and Jack Black play Siamese twins with musical talent.

A father is trying to find his daughter, so he uses her ex-boyfriend to do it. Yes, this plot alone is somewhat perplexing, not to mention the strange situations that pile up on top of each other. But within the logic of the film, it works quite well. The message at the end is quite strange, and if it weren't for the interesting actors, you'd feel like completely ditching it.
