Daddy's Home 2

Daddy's Home 2 is a 2017 American Christmas comedy film that follows the story of Brad Whitaker (John Lithgow) and Dusty Mayron (Lithgow's real-life son, John Cena's character was in the first, here father to Will Ferrell's Brad), two dads living blissfully with each other's children from prior relationships, Megan and Dylan. Initially, both families plan a fantastic holiday season where they can bond together, giving their kids the kind of year-round seasonality they can only dream of. After establishing routines and getting accustomed to their blended family, they decide to host their unconventional summer family vacation together as a joint group. Things seem perfect until news reaches Brady that his father, Kurt Mayron (Lithgow) the traditional old-school father, is coming to visit; along with Brad and Dusty's relationship being pushed to the limit by both of them having their own dads arrive on the same holidays. Kurt, like Jeremy's biological father, has always been quite traditional-minded, especially when it comes to being an odd, overbearing, very hands-on dad. This is when tensions within the harmonious house become critical due to different parenting methods which creates an unwell atmosphere of friction. Both men cannot fully understand or align to the parenting techniques of the partner, and whenever, in times of desperation they try something they end up falling over each other when trying to do the best for their shared children. Throughout the holiday, tensions run high due to these contrasting parenting styles and the overall lack of respect and understanding from the new father figures in the boys' lives, with both Dads making every effort in order to hold each other in balance. Meanwhile, we find out that both are trying to make amends and find common ground as they navigate old stereotypes and generational differences that make it take for their other relationships to even get that deep off on solid ground - by doing this it truly underlines the key to learning and accepting to come too terms with changing times even though they cannot meet expectations from before. In anticipation of a joint Easter family celebration, where their daughters would teach them the new parenting methods given a mix-up the whole families needed some time for understanding in order to avoid hurt feelings at all costs. A long talk - after they accept love and acceptance truly seems normal - wraps up the problems with love and with the correct lesson handed over, reminding everyone they are team parents after all.
