Brad Whitaker (Ferrell) is married to Sarah (Cardellini) who has two children from a previous relationship. All Whitaker wants is to be accepted as a father figure by the children who have not quite respected him as the man of the house. But after some time it appeared that he had made a breakthrough and they started acknowledging him as their step dad until there is an unexpected visit from the kids real dad Dusty Mayron (Wahlberg) a buffed up, motorcycle riding military man to whom Brad will have a hard time comparing up to but is willing to try his best so that he will not lose his wife and the kids respect.
Reel Talk:
It doesn't matter who Will Ferrell teams with, he is going to make a movie hilariously funny. This being his second time teaming with Mark Wahlberg they already have some chemical history so they worked well together. Again Ferrell plays the misplaced geek against the hard nose, muscled up Wahlberg, both trying to compete to win the affection of the two children and the beautiful Sarah played by Linda Cardellini. Like all of his films, Ferrell have had you laughing so this one does not disappoint, prepare to laugh at his crazy slapstick humor. With so many choices of movies for the holiday this is one that is recommended for some good hearty laughs.
