It is a performances centric movie

Fantastic!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I enjoyed this movie very much love Will Ferrell and having Mark Wahlberg in the mix in a dad vs dad comedy not had the chance to see the second movie yet but if you're looking to giggle the night or day away id choice this movie slightly slow on the start up but so picks up

Very little of the humor is unexpected but it did catch me off guard a couple of times and was funny all the way through. It has spectacular eye candy, some FX, a feel good ending, and an excellent cast. I enjoyed this thoroughly and not just because Cardellini is in it. Though I did only buy it because I found out she was in it. Come for the Velma, stay for the LOLs!I'll be able to watch this every 2 or 3 years.

(Flash Review)I know that is a crazy rating for a silly comedy but the jokes were really funny and worked for me as well as exceeding my low expectations. I can totally understand rating this a 4-6/10. For me, compared to the last several dumb comedies I've watched, it actually made me laugh hard. The plot, at its core, was a good carrier for the over the top surprising and comedic scenarios. Onto the plot, which is about a step dad who is newly married to a wife with two elementary age kids and suddenly her ex-husband re-enters their lives with the hopes of winning his family back. Ferrell, who is the new husband, plays a kind-hearted, emotional and gentle man while the ex is Wahlberg who is of course strong, brash and intimidating. The two men joust back and forth trying to prove they are the better father figure with their varying personalities and skills. Cue escalating and sensational testosterone battles. Who will end up winning the family? Will the two learn any moral lessons during their many fiascos? Ferrell is on his game as Wahlberg plays off of him well; often shirtless. In fact, there was one scene where the two are talking and Wahlberg is constantly doing push-ups or pull ups. Pretty random and oddly amusing. A good reason to drag a female guest along to the movie. Ha. Above average for this genre.

Daddy's Home (2015) is a meaningful and funny movie. Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg performed well in this movie. The movie has it's fun moments and sentimental moments. The Climax of this movie will put a smile on your face. It's a film that every father should see because it contains a beautiful message for them. So feel free to watch the movie with your family and have a good time.
