Easter Sunday

In the vibrant city of Los Angeles, Joe Valencia pursues his dream of becoming a successful comedian while managing the responsibilities of being a single father to his son Junior. Known for his catchphrase from a beer commercial, Joe faces the precarious balance of chasing his ambitions and caring for his child.

Joe's career takes a promising turn when his agent scores him an audition for a sitcom. However, the excitement quickly turns to frustration as the producer's racial bias forces Joe into an embarrassing stereotype, leaving him conflicted about his identity and aspirations.

Eager to create lasting memories, Joe decides to take Junior on a trip to Daly City for their family's Easter Sunday celebrations. The journey holds the promise of joy and reconnection with extended family, setting the stage for an unforgettable holiday.

Upon arriving, Joe reunites with his loving mother and sister, alongside a quirky mix of relatives. The atmosphere is filled with laughter and nostalgic warmth as Joe reconnects with family members, including his uncles and aunts, each bringing their unique flair to the gathering.

At a church visit, Joe receives shocking news about his cousin Eugene's financial misstep involving a regrettable investment in a 'hype truck.' This revelation puts Joe on high alert, as his family dynamics are soon intertwined with Eugene's questionable decisions.

As the day unfolds, Joe uncovers that Eugene has borrowed money from the notorious gangster Dev to fund his ill-fated venture. Realizing the seriousness of this predicament, Joe knows they must act quickly to avoid further complications.

In a desperate bid to fix the financial mess, Joe and Eugene concoct a plan to sell Manny Pacquiao's boxing gloves, which Eugene had 'liberated' from Dev. Their enthusiasm falters when they realize Marvin's fear of Dev jeopardizes their scheme.

While at the mall seeking a solution, Joe and Junior unexpectedly run into Tala, Junior's crush. Their moment of connection is interrupted by Dev, who forces them to leave swiftly, highlighting the looming danger surrounding their family celebrations.

Determined to salvage the situation, Joe and Eugene seek out a mysterious figure known as 'The Jeweler,' played by Lou Diamond Phillips. With his unexpected assistance, they hope to secure the funds needed to reclaim the boxing gloves and get back on track.

Joe receives surprising news from Nick about a last-minute flight back to Los Angeles for a critical meeting regarding a new TV project. Struggling against the odds, Joe contemplates his values as Nick encourages him to succumb to stereotypes.

As Junior invites Tala to join the family dinner, playful teasing turns into a heavy argument between Susan and Teresa, revealing deeper wounds from Joe's upbringing. In the midst of escalating tensions, Joe steps in to mediate, showcasing his maturity amid chaos.

In an effort to restore harmony, Joe delivers a heartfelt speech about unity, leading to an impromptu karaoke session. Just when the mood lightens, chaos erupts as Dev and his crew crash the family gathering, threatening the newfound peace.

During the chaotic intrusion, Dev menaces Junior, pushing Joe into action. In a fierce confrontation, Joe manages to knock Dev out with a decisive blow, momentarily freeing his family from the immediate threat but leading to further complications.

After the confrontation, Joe learns that Nick observed their earlier chat during the chaos, overwhelming him with anxiety. This stress culminates in Joe collapsing, leading to an emotionally charged hospital stay surrounded by his concerned family members.

While in the hospital, Joe learns that instead of the stereotype-filled role he auditioned for, the producer envisions a show that uniquely reflects his family's dynamics. As plans for this new sitcom take shape, Joe's family begins to share their colorful wisdom, preparing for the wild journey ahead.
