My god this movie just doesn't end. This could be used as a torture technique. Just doesn't go anywhere. I could say how unrealistic this is, but I'm sure I'd get people saying Will Ferrell doesn't make movies that are supposed to be taken seriously. No what he makes are movies that would make a great 5 minute skit on SNL and has no idea how to take it past the fifth minute.

... View More(Flash Review)I know that is a crazy rating for a silly comedy but the jokes were really funny and worked for me as well as exceeding my low expectations. I can totally understand rating this a 4-6/10. For me, compared to the last several dumb comedies I've watched, it actually made me laugh hard. The plot, at its core, was a good carrier for the over the top surprising and comedic scenarios. Onto the plot, which is about a step dad who is newly married to a wife with two elementary age kids and suddenly her ex-husband re-enters their lives with the hopes of winning his family back. Ferrell, who is the new husband, plays a kind-hearted, emotional and gentle man while the ex is Wahlberg who is of course strong, brash and intimidating. The two men joust back and forth trying to prove they are the better father figure with their varying personalities and skills. Cue escalating and sensational testosterone battles. Who will end up winning the family? Will the two learn any moral lessons during their many fiascos? Ferrell is on his game as Wahlberg plays off of him well; often shirtless. In fact, there was one scene where the two are talking and Wahlberg is constantly doing push-ups or pull ups. Pretty random and oddly amusing. A good reason to drag a female guest along to the movie. Ha. Above average for this genre.
