Daddy's Home 2 (2017)

Better Late Then Never

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Let me just start this with saying, I enjoyed the first movie, it wasnt a revolutionary comedy but it was passable, but as soon as I saw the first trailer for this sequel I knew I was going to be disappointed. And can I also bring up that this movie has the basically the same plot as bad moms 2.... will Ferrel is the best quality in the daddy's home series, but the unrealistic writing and reused jokes waste his talent. Only watch if it's free on tv, don't waste your money.. 4/10

Daddy's Home 2 is the followup to the hit Daddy's Home released in 2015. This sequel feels more as a sequel than a followup and feels more so done since the original was such a success. The plot is quite thin and predictable, though does have some moments. There are lesser laughs and total enjoyment in this film compared to the original. The addition of Mel Gibson works as his character is enjoyable and brings in several laughs. Overall, Daddy's Home 2 is somewhat of a disappointment but given the reviews this was expected.

I was really looking forward to this sequel, because I really enjoyed the first movie tremendously.And when I saw that they added Mel Gibson and John Lithgow to the cast list as well, then what was there not to like all the more?Luckily, this movie actually kept up to speed with its predecessor, and there was every bit as much fun and laughs here as in the first movie.The characters in the movie are great, and they are nicely portrayed by a great ensemble of actors and actresses.There are lots of hilarious situations in the entire movie, and I was laughing hard many times throughout the movie.So, if you enjoyed the first "Daddy's Home" movie, then you definitely have to watch part 2 as well. Because it is every bit as fun and entertaining.

I have no idea what is up with the general public but I loved this film. Rarely have I laughed through an entire film from start to finish but this was one. I actually thought this one was better than the first. People need to get out of a group think mindset. Don't go in looking to hate this film just because you read reviews from a couple haters. Go see this with an open mind and light hearted attitude and hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
