The comedy, which reunites the stars five years after their buddy-cop comedy _The Other Guys_, features Ferrell as Brad, a mild-mannered radio executive who’s always wanted to be a parent. He gets his wish when he marries a woman (Linda Cardellini) with two children, but bonding with them gets harder when their cooler, special-ops agent dad, Dusty (Wahlberg), comes back into the picture. The fatherly feud begins mildly (Dusty offers the kids cash to distract from Brad’s bedtime cuddles) but things escalate quickly to ponies, puppies and an unfortunate incident with a Lakers cheerleader and a basketball. (That scene was filmed during an actual NBA game, [and footage went viral earlier this year](http://www.people.com/article/will-ferrell-cheerleader-basketball-video-daddys-home).) _Daddy’s Home_ opens on Christmas Day. Take a look at the trailer above. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/19/daddys-home-trailer-will-ferrell-mark-wahlberg) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com) Daddy's Home: Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg Square Off for Best Dad ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3928790/ferrell-wahlberg-daddys-home-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3928790/ferrell-wahlberg-daddys-home-trailer/"},"headline":"It's Will Ferrell vs Mark Wahlberg in Daddy's Home Trailer","datePublished":"2015-06-19T18:37:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T08:22:31.411Z","description":"May the best dad win","url":"https://time.com/3928790/ferrell-wahlberg-daddys-home-trailer/","keywords":["movies","Comedy","christmas","mark wahlberg","Will Ferrell"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb8f88d6d815a4c5a/698855758e060185ca4610fd/ap100723035844-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jessica Derschowitz / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb8f88d6d815a4c5a/698855758e060185ca4610fd/ap100723035844-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Will Ferrell (L) and Mark Wahlberg at the Comic Con Maxim party in San Diego on July 23, 2010.","caption":"Will Ferrell (L) and Mark Wahlberg at the Comic Con Maxim party in San Diego on July 23, 2010.","creditText":"Dan Steinberg—AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3928790/ferrell-wahlberg-daddys-home-trailer/","name":"It's Will Ferrell vs Mark Wahlberg in Daddy's Home Trailer"}}]}] ```
