We’ll here’s an entire film made up of dad jokes – though believe me, it’s not almost as endearing as that may sound, marking a rather unsuccessful return to the screen for duo Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, following their recent collaboration in the noteworthy comedy The Other Guys.

Aussie actress remanded for abducting son
Police make decision to detain Eliza Szonert after she refuses to reveal the whereabouts of her son or give him up to her former partner.
Mark Wahlberg, as Dusty in Daddy’s Home, one-ups and out-guns Will Ferrell, 48, who plays step-dad, Brad, in order to win the affections of his biological kids away from the tenuous hold that Brad has on them.
Pep Guaridola’s already chosen which club he’s joining amid Manchester United
Kicker magazine reported Thursday that the coach blamed team doctor Volker Braun for the latest injury to afflict Franck Ribery. Bayern, however, have maintained their stranglehold on the Bundesliga , winning titles and breaking records in the process.
Wahlberg ribbed Ferrell, “What did you say to him after he threw the ball instead of giving it to Marshawn Lynch?” It’s only around five years old, but if anything, the fondness of that film has increased over time to the point where Ferrell and Wahlberg on the same poster is probably enough to guarantee a profit. So what we have here is Sean Anders (Horrible Bosses 2) steering the ship, and if you’re familiar at all with his style you can already guess that some of this movie is unnecessarily crude, but definitely not without parts that are a hoot to behold.
J.K. Rowling Defends Hermione Casting: ‘White Skin Was Never Specified’
In the forthcoming stage reimagining of Harry Potter , Hermione Granger will be played by the Swazi-born Noma Dumezweni. As such, the actors cast to play Harry and his friends are a bit older than the sort you’d find studying at Hogwarts.
“We’re going to be hanging out at home”, Ferrell said.
Wahlberg is wearing boxing gloves, Ferrell has oven mitts – and, although there’s not actually a scene that shows them duking it out in this way, the image neatly sums up the movie. As one might expect, it doesn’t go very well.
“It’s fun playing opposite Will’s very different dad”, adds Wahlberg. A “gentleman underneath” provided support for him, he said.
The actor said he had to get into top shape for the film – especially since in one scene, he’s doing several one-arm pull-ups effortlessly.
Be sure to catch “Daddy’s Home” for more laughs from Ferrell and Wahlberg, in theaters this Christmas Day.

Then, just as they are beginning to look up to him, their real, cool biker dad (Wahlberg) turns up and starts trying to weasel his way back into the family and back in with his ex wife (Linda Cardinelli), who – like all wives in Hollywood family comedies – is never allowed to be amusing and has to do all the serious stuff.
