Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg go head to head in the first Daddy's Home trailer

Just in time for Father's Day, Paramount has dropped the first trailer for Daddy's Home, which re-teams The Other Guys costars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg as a pair of dueling daddies:

Daddy's Home stars Ferrell as the doting, devoted stepfather of a couple of young children. But the relative stability of his family is rattled by the unexpected return of the kids' birth father (Wahlberg), who lashes out against Ferrell in an effort to win the adoration of his kids. Before long, the conflict blows into a full-scale rivalry, resulting in the kind of Hollywood hijinks that can only, inevitably end with everybody learning a lesson about the importance of love and family, or whatever.

Daddy's Home hits theaters on December 25.
