Jackie Chan is Jackie Chan, naturally, why make up a character at this point. In the midst of his still busy life he decides to be a representative adopter of one of China’s newest pandas. In a series of events, a mercenary army is out to kidnap his panda for a Saudi Prince and infiltrates Jackie’s adoption event. Die Hard style. It’s up to Jackie, the panda’s caretaker (Wei Xiang) and Jackie’s wacky publicist (She See) to rescue the panda cub and save the day. But we’ve got Jackie on our side.

Michael Keaton is Andy Goodrich, a Los Angeles art dealer whose gallery is failing. At the same time his wife Naomi (Laura Benanti) leaves him to go to rehab, even as he doesn’t know what she is going through. That means he has to take care of his late life nine-year-old twins and try again to bond with this older daughter Grace (Mila Kunis), who is pregnant for the first time. With all these irregular things happening to a regular guy, can he survive?
