🎬 Daddy’s Home 2 (2025)
👉 Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Linda Cardellini
The clash of parenting styles is back, bigger and funnier than ever. The original Daddy’s Home (2015) was a breakout comedy hit that explored what happens when two very different father figures are forced to compete for the same kids’ affection. Now, in this long-awaited follow-up, the family feud escalates to new, outrageous heights.
Will Ferrell once again takes on the role of Brad Whitaker, the overly eager, endlessly wholesome stepdad who just wants to be loved and respected by his stepchildren. Brad is the kind of guy who believes in rules, bedtime routines, and hugs that last a little too long. But his steady, if slightly dorky, parenting style is constantly overshadowed by the return of Dusty Mayron (Mark Wahlberg), the cool, leather-clad, motorcycle-riding biological father who thrives on chaos, charisma, and charm.
When Dusty blows back into town, Brad’s carefully crafted world begins to unravel. What starts as small squabbles quickly turns into a full-scale war of fatherhood. Who can build the better treehouse? Who tells the funnier bedtime stories? Who can impress the kids with the wildest adventure? From dirt bike stunts and dangerous pranks to over-the-top displays of macho pride, Brad and Dusty pull out every trick in the book to outshine each other — with hysterical consequences.
But beneath the slapstick comedy and competitive madness lies a surprisingly tender core. As the two dads continue their ridiculous rivalry, they slowly begin to realize that being a parent isn’t about winning — it’s about being there. The kids don’t need a superhero or a saint; they just need love, support, and someone who will stick around through the messy parts of family life.
With its mix of goofy energy, wild physical comedy, and heartfelt moments, Daddy’s Home 2 delivers everything fans loved about the original and raises the stakes even higher. Will Ferrell’s awkward earnestness collides brilliantly with Mark Wahlberg’s tough-guy swagger, creating a comedy duo that feels both mismatched and perfectly in sync.
Packed with outrageous gags, overblown showdowns, and moments of real family warmth, Daddy’s Home 2 (2025) proves that family isn’t about perfection. It’s about effort, compromise, and showing up — even if you look completely ridiculous in the process.
