Daddy's Home 2 Reviews

A series of clumsy slapstick gags, exaggerated conflicts, and formulaic holiday comedy nonsense.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Mar 17, 2022

...a milquetoast artifact of antiquated social norms, choosing to mock the notion of blended families while claiming to be empathetic to them.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 1, 2020

Even the kids are subjected to humiliation here.

| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Sep 5, 2020

While a lighter touch might have actually made great strides in making these characters appear to act like functioning human beings, instead the movie repeatedly goes for the obvious, cheap laugh, rarely resulting in actual laughter.

It's every bit as silly as the first but slightly better thanks to the addition of Mel Gibson and John Lithgow.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 22, 2020

Gibson and Lithgow make terrific foils for Farrell and Wahlberg, and their presence provides a major boost for an otherwise mid-grade comedy.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 4, 2019

Clean humor featuring contrasting lead characters that is a fun one-time holiday movie.

| Original Score: B- | May 8, 2019

A few genuine laugh-out-loud moments aside, Daddy's Home 2 is truly nothing to write home about.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 19, 2019

It's a comedy that has its moments but ultimately, it winds up feeling a bit too thrown together to have any significant comedic and/or emotional impact.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 8, 2019

It send my brain straight to hell.

| Jan 5, 2019

For comedy sequels, it works.

| Dec 18, 2018

It feels like more of the same, a cinematic equivalent of getting another fruit cake as a holiday gift.

| Original Score: C | Oct 31, 2018

Its most memorable quality is the fact it manages to squeeze 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' and 'St. Elmo's Fire' into the space of one sequence.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 31, 2018

Every time Wahlberg and Ferrell share scenes of bromance, you can't help but smile.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 30, 2018

Gibson has always been to comedy what Santa Claus is to Easter, but every time he appears on screen he kills any notion of seasonal fun stone dead.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 22, 2018

No one learns anything about responsibility, cooperation, kindness, or even the basic tenets of respect.

| Aug 21, 2018

At this point, is there a better comedy duo working (OK, except Key and Peele) than Ferrell and Wahlberg?

| Original Score: A- | Aug 14, 2018

Daddy's Home 2 is a waste of time. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Feb 21, 2018

The jokes were bland and dry...you're not going to remember this thing in T-minus one day...a sequel that's not as good as the first movie.

| Jan 23, 2018

The heart of the film is lost by formulaic tendencies and its overbearing insistence on being funny.
