In the clip<\/a>, Magnus stands in for Deschanel\u2019s shower-singing scene, belting out the tune as he films himself in the bathroom. Meanwhile, Mattias hilariously takes on his dad\u2019s role, sitting on the toilet and singing Will\u2019s part as if he\u2019s casually \u2014 and confidently \u2014 right at home.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The TikTok nods to the original 2003 film in a way only Ferrell\u2019s kids could pull off.
