A Little Silly At Times But Still Funny

I saw "Daddy's Home", starring Will Ferrell-The Other Guys, Zoolander; Mark Wahlberg-The Ted movies, The Other Guys; Linda Cardellini- Avengers:Age of Ultron, Grandma's Boy and Thomas Haden Church-Heaven Is For Real, Spanglish.

This is a comedy about a rivalry between a step father and a biological father. Will plays the step dad and Mark plays the biological dad. Will is married to Linda, who has 2 kids from a previous marriage to Mark. Mark left soon after the birth of the second child. Will loves being a father and has always wanted to be one but after an accident in the dentist office, he is sterile. The kids show lots of hostility towards Will but he just sees the bright side to everything and keeps trying to win them over. Things change when Mark comes back into the picture. Mark wants to get back with Linda and the kids and that is when the battles begin. They both try to one up each other; For instance, Mark will get a dog for the kids and Will goes out and gets a pony. Will is a radio executive and his boss, Thomas, is always giving him advice on how to handle Mark but it's not always good advice. There are a few cameos, including Kobe Bryant and John Cena. Some of the antics are a little silly, but it is a Will Ferrell comedy, so that is to be expected. It's rated "PG-13" for some mild language, thematic elements and some smoking and has a running time of 1 hour & 36 minutes. I enjoyed it and would buy it on DVD.
