Co-written and directed by Sean Anders, Will Ferrell plays a mild mannered executive at a Jazz radio station. His character, Brad Whitaker, is a husband material, financially stable, responsible, but a bit too by the book. He's married to Sara (Linda Cardellini) who has two kids from previous marriage to Dusty Mayron (Mark Wahlberg). Now, Dusty is everything Brad is not, he's Brad's complete opposite, a renegade, cool, he's got that bad boy look and not to mention super-buffed as hell, let's just say that ladies get their panties wet at the first sight of Dusty. Ever since he could remember, Brad has always wanted to be a dad and it's tough being a step-dad because the kids would often pull that old fashioned "you're not my dad" card, but Brad plows through, he believes in his book methods, and he finally connects with them, seems like a happy ending, until Dusty comes back into the kids' picture. He's the cool dad by a long shot, and ya know how it is, cool beats ordinary every time, or does it? That's when this dad vs. step dad begins. It takes him a while but Brad finally learns of Dusty's sabotage, and the battle is on.
