Daddy's Home

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg star as rival dads in this household comedy. Ferrell plays Brad Whitaker, a family man and a total square. Brad's an employee at a smooth jazz radio station and spends his time happily raising two step-kids from his wife's first marriage. The family's cozy domesticity is blown apart when Dusty rolls up on a tuned-up motorcycle. Dusty, the kids' biological father, is everything Brad isn't: Dusty is cool. He's tough. He's handsome. He's also totally irresponsible. Brad and Dusty set out to win the children's affection in increasingly ridiculous ways, whether that's elaborate gifts, birthday parties, or trips to sports games. With its hilarious physical comedy, note-perfect performances, and surprisingly affecting story, Daddy's Home is a great family comedy.
