I never expect too much from Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg
when they do a film together. I think
Mark Wahlberg is a better actor when he does serious roles than comedy and with
that being said . . .this movie is just fluff.
Will Ferrell plays a step-father to his new wife’s kids who don’t like
him. It takes him a long time to earn
their trust and when he finally does, the biological dad, played by Mark
Wahlberg, shows up. From there – it’s
just an all-out battle to see which “dad” is the best and who can win the kids’
love. The movie is just what you expect
it to be, cheesy gags and dumb one-liners.
Towards the end of the movie there was a hint of something a little deeper but it doesn’t last too
long. I wouldn’t say this is a “family”
film for younger kids because there is language and strong sexual
innuendos. But if you’re looking for
fluff to pass the night or you like Will Ferrell humor – this movie would be ok
to pass some time if the paint on your wall has dried!
