This is a good movie that has a great message and is very heartwarming but Wahlberg's character is almost too mean and unlikable
21 March 2016 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

"I'm here to defeat you and take back my family" Brad Whitaker (Ferrell) is unable to have children of his own but is being the best step dad he can be. The kids haven't fully accepted him yet but that doesn't bother him. When their dad, Dusty (Wahlberg) shows up with an agenda a war between the two begins. This is a hard movie to review. First of all, this is not really a typical Will Ferrell comedy, or a comedy in general for that matter. The subject matter is very serious and as much as they tried some things just can't be funny. This is a good movie that has a great message and is very heartwarming but Wahlberg's character is almost too mean and unlikable for the comedy to win out. Most of the time you feel sorry for Brad and are so angry with Dusty that the jokes get lost in the emotions. All that said though, the message is worth the watch and even though the movie is very predictable it still has an impact. Overall, not what I expected at all, I'm not sure it that is a good thing or bad thing with this one. I give it a B-.
