Whole family really loved this (a rare phenomenon with teenagers). Had tears in my eyes laughing so hard. Perfect for Christmas-up there now with National Lampoons for us really. Loved the first movie but,for the first time, can say this one topped the first. The entire cast was honestly just perfect together-watched more then once easily. Need way more fun movies like this one.… Expand

I laughed the entire movie. Right from the start. It's funny, less immature than the 1st (no penis jokes!), and has some heart. Great film. total surprise.

It is a so stupid that it's funny comedy that most people might laugh at and have fun with. Mel Gibson is the best part of the film with the best jokes and the Christmas setting will put everyone in the holiday spirit.

Madcap fun. the entire cast participated in the romp. It's a fun movie to see with family, and the kid actors are probably the bet part of the flick.

I really can't believe the low critic score. I know the movie isn't for anyone, but it's hilarious.

Haven't laughed that long in a a long time. Mark Wahlberg hits this one out of the park and Mel Gibson is perfect as the Dad which makes Mark look inward. Great film

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg star as two dads who share custody of Wahlberg’s two kids. But, these dads are really good friends. They decide to have a “together Christmas” so the kids don’t have to be shuttled back and forth between the two families. And, their fathers will be joining them all for Christmas. Mel Gibson plays Wahlberg’s macho man father while John Lithgow plays Ferrell’s oh so sensitive man father. Both fathers are fun to watch. Gibson is good at tearing down everything Wahlberg does. Lithgow, meanwhile, is always so proud of Ferrell. And, of course, things can’t go smoothly. Even when the two Dads are trying their hardest. I really had fun watching the antics of all the dads amd fathers as they try to navigate through the personalities and insecurities among them. Of course, there are times it is silly and stupid, but overall, I think it is lots of fun. And that is why you go see a movie like this. People are too hard on these kinds of films. They aren’t out to impress you or gain Oscar nominations, folks. They are made to make you laugh. And this one did!… Expand

It mocks "polite" society at the expense of those that insist that anyone that would laugh at such things are unwashed vulgarians. If "There's Something About Mary" "Ace Venture:Pet Detective" "Dumb and Dumber" and "The 40 Year Old Virgin" were released in 2017, these same "woke" individuals would implore the masses to avoid them like a Trump rally. Bottom line, if you liked any of the aforementioned films, you are bound to find some genuine fun and laughs in DH2. Comedy is not my bag, I'm not easily amused by most media that defines itself as "comedy". I did have a good time with this flick. And unless you are a delicate flower or a snowflake, I think you will too.… Expand

Will farell and mark walberg always perfectly fit together in comedy movies and I totally enjoyed this one. daddy's home 1 was already funny, but with their own dads it's even more funny. Totally underreated. It's a 10 out of 10.

I laughed a number of times, but I found the over the top, emotional relationship between farrel and his dad rather cringy. Mel Gibson's performance is kinda hot and cold. He essentially plays the role of an emotionally pent up, contempt prone, booze loving pick up artist, with Walburg being his main source of scorn. Mal talks one of the kids into getting a gun to shoot turkeys, but the kid changes his mind, only for his sister to eagerly pursue the activity instead. I actually liked this part, because it embraces the reality that some individuals like hunting whereas others don't. If a kid wants to do it, (and know what's entailed), I don't see an issue with the age. The movie has a lot of slap stick comedy and more over the top CGI moments similar to the last one, (which I loved). The end is what ultimately disappointed me. It got a little nuts, (to me), with the sheer amount of sappy emotional displays, especially among a crowd of people, that just seemed to go on and on. I would've liked to have seen the characters come to terms with one another in a little more realistic, down to earth fashion. Other than that, I actually thought the plot and comedy mixed really well together. It reminded me of a Lampoon's Christmas.… Expand

Its not especially offensive or anything like that. I imagine if you watched it a few times it'd get a bit annoying but I enjoyed it on my first watch anyway and so if it interests you, I'd recommend it as a cheesy Christmas set watch.… Expand

Not as good as the first. Still pretty funny. It would have been better without their dad's in in so much.
