Daddy's Home - 家有兩個爸
Daddy's Home (家有兩個爸) is an 2015 film. The movie stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. The supporting cast include Linda Cardellini, Thomas Haden Church, Hannibal Buress, and John Cena. The movie was a Christmas hit as counter programing to the massive Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Will Ferrell plays Brad, who has marriage Sara, whom brings to the marriage, a son and daughter. Brad cannot have his own biological kids, but longs for kids in his life. Brad devotes himself to be the best father he knows how to be. BUT his step kids are still not accepting. One Christmas, they biological father and Sara's ex-husband decides he's going to visit. Enter Dusty Mayron, played by Mark Wahlberg. Brad and Dusty couldn't be more opposite of each other. With their "real" dad back, the two kids start to take to him and Brad starts to fell left out. How will this story end?
I laughed a lot in this movie. Sometimes to point of crying. But on the second watch, I did not. So, the jokes only work once if you're not expecting them. The trailer does leave quite a bit of stuff out. A modern comedy with modern fatherhood dilemmas presented.
