Oh look, another Will Ferrell comedy! This time around he is playing a step dad trying to win the affections of his step kids. His competition is the biological father played by Mark Walhberg. There is not much else to say here. They go through a “I can do anything better than you” contest. The kids are already biased against the step-dad. My gripe is that the trailer is trying to make the bio-dad with the slicked-back hair, poorly maintained beard, and slob-style clothes the cool guy.
Daddy’s Home is directed by Sean Anders and John Morris. It has the supporting talent of Linda Cardellini and Thomas Haden Church. This film comes out December 25th 2015 in the U.S and December 26th 2015 in the U.K. For full release information, click here.
