Will Ferrell in Mark Wahlberg se soočita v ubijalsko duhovitem dvoboju očeta proti očimu. Komedija sledi težavnemu življenju krušnega očeta Brada, ki se po poroki z lepo Saro želi prikupiti njenima otrokoma. Ker si resnično prizadeva, da bi ga otroka sprejela, ju počasi pridobi na svojo stran, toda ves njegov trud je uničen, ko se znova pojavi njun pravi oče Dusty. Neodgovorni divjak takoj pritegne pozornost otrok, tiha vojna z Bradom pa se počasi prevesi v odkrit in brezkompromisen spopad za večjo naklonjenost otrok, kjer ne manjka bolečih udarcev pod pas in skrivnih ukan, ki pa se vedno znova izjalovijo.
