Breaking Story: "Daddy's Home" Set to Hit Theaters This Christmas

In a highly anticipated announcement, Sony Pictures has revealed the release date for its upcoming buddy comedy "Daddy's Home." The film is set to hit theaters nationwide on December 25, 2015.

Directed by Sean Anders and written by Anders, Brian Burns, and John Morris, "Daddy's Home" stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg as two very different stepfathers who compete for the affection of their children.

Ferrell plays Brad Whitaker, a mild-mannered radio executive who has spent the last several years trying to win over his stepchildren. However, his efforts are threatened when their biological father, Dusty Mayron (Wahlberg), suddenly enters the picture.

The film promises to deliver a hilarious and heartwarming tale about family, rivalry, and the unexpected bonds that can form in the most unconventional of situations.
