Daddy's Home 2 (film): Excellent cast - terrible movie@gooddream2452d

Is it just me or is Will Ferrell the same person in every movie that he is in? Perhaps it is just because he makes what I perceive to be "too many" films but it seems that regardless of what the overall motif is, he is always the bumbling, forever positive, naive and rather clueless giant.

It isn't just his fault that this movie is plain bad: Despite containing some of the best actors alive (with a dash of John Cena,) this movie fails on nearly every front.

It's no secret that movie studios just grab whatever celebrities and crank out a script to take advantage of the holiday spirit that exists in the U.S., but this one is an obvious cash-grab and sadly, it worked.

I'm one of the people that actually enjoyed the first Daddy's Home and I think the main reason for that is because Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell being at odds with one-another is part of their chemistry. In part 2, they are a team and I think that is a big part of the reason why this one doesn't really work.

In this Christmas debacle we are introduced to the fathers of the fathers in John Lithgow and none other than Mel Gibson. I consider both of these guys to be some of the more accomplished actors alive and even they couldn't spark some life into this absolutely terrible script (Mel Gibson ended up winning the "worst actor" award at the Golden Raspberry awards.)

We are supposed to be amused by how over-the-top loving John Lithgow is and how stand-offish Mel Gibson is - but both of these gimmicks get old after just a few dumb jokes.

The idiocy is brought to an apex when all the "Dads" who can agree on almost nothing emerge in the middle of the night all donning white t-shirts with sweat stains as they come together on one thing that all Dads can agree with - that the thermostat mustn't be used by anyone other than the Dads.

John Cena briefly breathes some life into this corpse of a film and it is pretty pathetic, when you consider the depth of talent in the cast, that John Cena is actually the best character in the entire film. Unfortunately, he is only in about 10 minutes of the movie and I'm pretty sure the god-awful thermostat scene lasts longer than that.

This film managed to make something like $100 million so I feel as though Daddy's Home 3 is sadly inevitable. I can't imagine what sort of S**T show scenarios they will introduce next since they have run out of "Daddies." Maybe they can get started on ruining the legacy of Clint Eastwood and introduce him as a great grandfather.

I laughed very few times while watching this movie and I think that was the general consensus among professional critics and the peasantry alike.

Richard Roeper's review was actually funnier than 90% of the jokes in the movie when he said

"After enduring last week’s lousy and lazy A Bad Moms Christmas, I would have bet it would be many a year before we’d see another holiday comedy more sour and cynical and profoundly unfunny. I sit corrected."

This is one of the worst big-budget films I have ever seen. It is one of the worst Christmas movies I have seen. It is one of the worst films featuring an all-star cast I have ever seen. So yeah, you could say that I am not a fan. If you have Netflix maybe just scan through this film so you can see for yourself how awful it is - other than that, i can't really recommend this one for anyone.

›Review Film: DADDY'S HOME 2 (2017)@film-trail3019d

Comedy can be said to be good if able to meet the purpose of laughter, as horror ignites fear or adrenaline racing action. Be special if there is a scene (with the function of supporting that goal) that is constantly embedded in the memory. At Daddy's Home, the moment came when Brad (Will Ferrell) fell to the wall for failing to control Dusty's (Mark Wahlberg) motor. The sequel tried to repeat the same kind of magic when Brad went to control the snow vacuum. The concept is similar to a different result because the director, Sean Anders, just trying to imitate. That's why Daddy's Home 2 is not a special trea but it was not a bad comedy, and I was laughing at the absurdity of the situation as the number of fathers doubled. As an extreme version of each child came grandparents; Don (John Lithgow) is more chatty, silly, and tacky than Brad, as well as Kurt (Mel Gibson) the elders through the level of cruelty and sarcasm that makes Dusty look soft. For the sake of the family nuances of Christmas, they with their wives and boys choose a vacation at a resort. This condition facilitates interesting sights such as the four fathers with different insanity gathering in the middle of the night, arguing about the thermostat.

A lot of debate, a lot of quarrels, due to Don's and Brad's cynicism and Kurt's cynicism, would not lead to sane talk. Anders picked up the conversation like a war. A verbal war in which sentences whose character catapult is like a machine gun bullet. Noisy, fast, chaotic without rules. Reluctant to pay attention to timing, the line of a punch line in the manuscript of Anders and John Morris failed to land hard on the laughter of the audience. Although thanks to the ranks of his players, the feeling of sleepiness have not yet gained control, Ferrell remained in prison, an adult little boy with a streak of misfortune, the more he suffered, the more entertained the audience. When Wahlberg as Dusty is now the most healthy-minded figure while John Cena's comic talent is limited to lack of supporting material, two grandfathers are able to steal attention. Gibson plays the role of authoritative as well as fierce mouth as he often playing, only now masculinity is used for the foundation of humour that in fact a big success. It was so easy he tripped every chance. While Lithgow, through a big smile and bright eyes are the best. Tickling from the beginning, she crushed feelings in just one emotional moment.

Surprisingly Daddy's Home 2 has a stack of drama portions, or at least serious speeches hiding behind the guise of jokes. Naturally, considering the increase in the number of fathers means more problems. Too many even, until the film difficult to provide total handling. Some problematic obtain a natural resolution, a kind of simple but simple Dusty-Kurt relationship. But some are left behind, for example when Kurt's attempt to catch the attention of the grandchildren forgotten. There were 9 family members (10 plus Cena's Roger), and they were all given a subplot. Excessive, although the inclusion of a little message about women's rights since childhood was a relief, closing a musical number accompanied the song Do They Know It's Christmas? an emergency show tub that appears more sudden than Bollywood treats. Conclusion feels magical, but is not it about Christmas? Carrying the spirit, despite being executed in a lazy way, Daddy's Home 2 is still a good comedy, although it will not belong in the minds of the audience.

›Daddy's Home 2 review@mediaguy3063d
This was not as good as the first movie. It is OK watching once. But I would not watch it more than that. The first daddy's home I really liked. I loved that it was original, showing a smart comedy about a pushover step dad battling it out with the badass biological dad. I could watch that many times. But this one was closer to being as bad as those shitty Grown Ups Adam sandler movies, it was at least similar to them in concept. But as I said, it is an ok movie worth watching at least once.

›Daddy's Home 2 - Movie Review@coldsteem3151d

When it comes to comedy, I prefer dark comedy to slapstick or situation comedy. With dark comedy, you generally get a decent story along with a plot. Sometimes you even get a really good story. The original Daddy's Home movie wasn't too bad as far as the genre goes. But I wouldn't have thought it good enough for a sequel. The trailers had some decent laugh lines for this movie, so I gave it a try anyway. I could have waited for this one on video.

Daddy's Home 2 is a typical sequel. Brad (Wil Ferrell) and Dusty (Mark Wahlberg) appear to have made amends. They are now "co-dads." Their detente is thrown into chaos with the arrival of their parents for Christmas. Dusty's dad, Kurt (Mel Gibson), is a man's man. He doesn't show much emotion, which he views as weakness. He taunts Dusty mercilessly. Brad's dad, Don (John Lithgow), presents a veneer of sensitivity. But he also has secrets. As the stress of the holiday season breaks down these veneers, true feelings are exposed. Feelings are bound to get hurt. But hey, it's a comedy. Everything is fair game when it comes to a laugh line.

There are some funny lines in this film. Unfortunately, it appears they all made it into the trailer. I will admit, the trailer gave us some takes that may have been Will Ferrell improv. Some of the scenes from the trailer have dialogue that is different from the actual film. So at least they didn't give everything away. This film does have a plot. It even has a twist or two. So I have to admit there is a bit of substance here. Although there is only so much of the whole step-dad thing that you can exploit for humor. But the film does a decent job of introducing new concepts to territory it has already explored in the first film. There was enough here to hold my interest.

When it comes to comedy, good casting can make a difference. I think the casting is part of what makes this film work for me. Wahlberg is a good straight man to Ferrell's goofball. How do you mirror that dynamic with the grandparents? I can think of some similar match-ups, but Gibson and Lithgow are a great combination. While you get a lot of the same dynamic, there is room for some interesting development. Owen Vacarro was decent as son Dylan, but the best performance of the children was Scarlett Estevez. I think I may have liked her best, lisp and all. Didi Costine was the other step-daughter, Adrianna. She played it straight. Linda Cardellini as mom Sara was excellent, but I wasn't all that impressed with Allesandra Ambrosio (mom Karen). John Cena also gave a cameo performance. I'm not really a fan. For the role he played, he was well cast.

Daddy's Home 2 is written for broad audiences. But it does contain some questionable material. It earned a PG-13 from the MPAA for language, adult themes and underage drinking. The themes were pretty tame. Kurt is a womanizer, so there is some suggestions about his antics. The underage drinking was part of the comedy and was done well, I thought. Overall, this film is pretty mild. I would watch it in mixed company or with young viewers (although I would not watch it again). The film has a 100 minute run time.

As comedies go, Daddy's Home 2 is what you would expect from a sequel. The film finds ways to explore new material, but it is basically comedy built around blended families. The film handles the new material well, making the film less predictable than expected. The best parts made it into the trailer. The humor misses at times. Or just feels tedious or contrived. But I laughed several times. I could have waited for this film on streaming. There was nothing to set this film apart. Decent casting, decent pacing, and okay plot for comedic purposes. 7/10.
