Easter Sunday

In the bustling metropolis of Los Angeles, Joe Valencia (played by) - a comedian and struggling actor known for his beer commercial catchphrase "Let's Get This Party Started" - is torn between his career aspirations and his responsibilities as a single father to his precocious son, Junior. As he navigates the ups and downs of show business, Joe's agent, Nick, secures an audition for a sitcom, but the producer's discovery of Joe's half-Filipino heritage leads to a cringeworthy stereotypical role. The audition also serves as a catalyst for Joe's scheduling conflict with Junior, who is slated to attend a school meeting with his teachers.

In an effort to make up for lost time and create lasting memories with his son, Joe decides to bring Junior along on his family's Easter Sunday celebration in Daly City - a weekend getaway filled with the sounds of laughter, love, and lively gatherings. Upon arrival, Joe reunites with his mom, Susan; sister, Regina; cousin Eugene; aunt Yvonne; uncles Arthur and Manny; and aunt Theresa (who is embroiled in a heated feud with Susan). The family's day begins with a visit to church, where Joe learns a shocking truth about Eugene's recent misadventures - specifically, his ill-fated investment in a "hype truck" that peddles useless merchandise.

As the day unfolds, Joe discovers that Eugene had borrowed from none other than notorious gangster Dev in order to fund his harebrained scheme. In an attempt to rectify the situation, Joe and Eugene concoct a plan to pawn off Manny Pacquiao's boxing gloves - pilfered from Dev by Eugene himself - to their acquaintance Marvin, only to be rebuffed due to Marvin's intimate knowledge of Dev's ruthless reputation.

In search of a solution, Joe and Eugene embark on a journey with Junior to the local mall, where they stumble upon Tala, Junior's crush, at her workplace. However, their chance encounter is short-lived, as Tala's boss - none other than Dev himself - appears, forcing them to flee the premises in haste. Undeterred, Joe and Eugene seek out a mysterious figure known only as "The Jeweler," who possesses the means to acquire Pacquiao's gloves. To their surprise, The Jeweler turns out to be none other than actor Lou Diamond Phillips, who agrees to help them retrieve the necessary funds later on.

As Easter Sunday's festivities unfold, Nick drops a bombshell on Joe: he's booked a flight back to Los Angeles for an impromptu meeting with a producer about his latest TV venture, assuring him that the role is all but guaranteed if he plays along and adheres to tired stereotypes. However, Joe remains resolute in his refusal to compromise his artistic integrity, despite Nick's protestations.

Meanwhile, tensions simmer beneath the surface as Junior invites Tala to join the family for dinner, sparking a flurry of teasing about potential romantic entanglements. The atmosphere becomes increasingly strained as Susan and Theresa engage in a heated exchange that has its roots in a long-standing dispute over Joe's upbringing. It isn't until Joe intervenes, his calming presence bringing the warring sisters back into harmony, that Junior's frustration boils over.

As Junior storms out of the room, Tala hot on his heels, the family's dynamics become increasingly fraught. In an effort to diffuse the situation, Joe takes center stage and delivers a heartfelt speech about the importance of family, prompting everyone to put aside their differences and join in a rousing round of karaoke. As the group's spirits lift, Susan and Theresa appear to be on the cusp of reconciliation just as Dev and his goons arrive, threatening to derail the evening.

In the aftermath of this chaos, Susan and Theresa attempt to settle scores with Dev, only for him to seize Junior as a hostage. Arthur diverts attention while Joe springs into action, donning his gloves and dashing outside to confront Dev. A flurry of punches later, Dev lies unconscious, and it's up to Joe to wait out the police response alongside Arthur.

Just as things seem to be returning to a sense of normalcy, Joe's world is turned upside down when he discovers that Nick had been monitoring their video chat with the producer. As panic sets in, Joe succumbs to a debilitating anxiety attack, sending him crashing to the ground.

Days later, Joe awakens in hospital surroundings, his family gathered anxiously at his bedside. The producer reappears, revealing her true intentions: she wants to create a sitcom centered around Joe and his quirky clan rather than the one he auditioned for. As Joe comes to terms with this new development, his family celebrates their good fortune.

Later still, as Joe's show begins production, his loved ones can be seen offering words of wisdom to the cast members, readying them for the wild ride that is life with the lovable but tumultuous Joe.
