Seen as a pure holiday comedy, Daddy's Home 2 works fine. Maybe not as good as the first but it had its moments, I know people hated the movie before even watching it due to them hating Mel Gibson because he doesn't share the same views as most Americans (Not everything is about you America) I found his old school tough guy act the best thing in this film, The comedy turned mostly slap stick but it was funny in places, It's very predictable and got cheesy at the end, Just like the first the age rating let it down as more crude humour would of worked so much better, If you've seen the first you know what to expect as it's nothing particularly new but for what it's worth its a fun-ish comedy, The kind we get about 20 times a year though. It is not hilarious or well-written for the most part but the fun it is to see Will Ferrell and John Lithgow together makes one forget the many, many flaws. One of them is Mel Gibson who looks like he is despising every minute being onscreen, and his delivery diminishes any attempts at humor. The film is a simple holiday lark, actually sharper and more story driven than the first Daddy's Home.

This movie is a good watch which would make a holiday delight for the family will ferrell and Mark Wahlberg was good with their performance. So I would rate the movie a 3.5/5 #Moviereview #Blogging #Vigalcollective.
