About the film
More Daddies. More Problems.
What it’s about
Brad and Dusty have settled into a workable co-parenting arrangement for the sake of the children. Their plan for a perfect Christmas is upended when Dusty's macho, old-school father Kurt and Brad's gentle, emotional father Don arrive. The four men decide to take the kids to a luxury resort, where the holiday descends into chaos.
What hooks you
Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg return as Brad and Dusty, joined by Mel Gibson as Kurt and John Lithgow as Don. The film won a Golden Raspberry for Gibson's supporting performance. One scene has Wahlberg throwing snowballs to music from 'The Departed', for which he earned an Oscar nomination.
Who it’s for
It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys holiday comedies that turn family gatherings into awkward, competitive showdowns, and for those who like broad humour built on clashing personalities and festive mayhem.
