Daddys Home 1 🎥 2015 Movie Info

Plot Summary

Mild-mannered radio executive Brad Whitaker tries hard to be a good stepfather to his wife Sara’s children, Megan and Dylan, and is seemingly sterile after an accident to his testicles a couple of years ago. The kids are finally getting closer to him: Dylan confides in him about some older bullies at school and Megan asks him to take her to the school’s father/daughter dance. One night, however, Dusty Mayron, Sara’s ex-husband and the kids’ biological father, calls to announce he will be visiting the next day. Sara hesitates to let him into their home, but Brad convinces her it is important for the kids to see him and Dusty establish a respectful relationship.

When Dusty arrives, he immediately intimidates Brad with his tough and muscular appearance and his charm with Megan and Dylan. He talks Brad into letting him stay, despite Sara warning about his true nature. Brad soon wises up when it becomes clear he intends to reclaim his family by driving Brad away. Dusty shows Brad up by getting the kids a dog, which Dusty names Tumor, and finishing a treehouse Brad and Dylan had been building. He also makes Brad seem racist after unwillingly firing handyman Griff after a fiasco with Dusty’s motorcycle, and Dusty later invites Griff to move in with them.

He tries to drive a wedge between Brad and Sara by taking them to a fertility doctor, hoping that Brad’s inability to impregnate her will send her back into Dusty’s arms. Still, the two men appear to reach an understanding after jointly teaching Dylan how to defend himself from his bullies. Additionally, the couple is overjoyed to learn that Brad’s sperm count has recovered, giving them hope of having a child together. However, Brad is stunned when Dusty reveals he still intends to drive him out of the family.
