It wasn't my favorite movie but it wasn't bad

CAUTION; Spoiler Alert

Brian (Kevin James), a recently laid-off accountant, is struggling to adjust to his new role as a stay-at-home dad to his stepson, Lucas. In an attempt to help Lucas make friends, Brian agrees to a playdate with Jeff Eamon (Alan Ritchson), a charismatic and confident stay-at-home dad whose son, CJ, quickly bonds with Lucas. 

Brian expects a casual afternoon of small talk and football tossing, but the day quickly spirals into chaos when the two dads and their sons are pursued by a group of dangerous mercenaries. Brian, who has zero tactical skills, must stumble through absurd obstacles, contrasting sharply with Jeff's oddly prepared and mysterious demeanor. 

There's many parts to this movie, in the end CJ is a clone
