Dusty (Mark Wahlberg) and Brad (Will Ferrell) return as co-dads and this time its Christmas and their dads are joining in the fun. Kurt (Mel Gibson) is Dusty’s alpha male father and Don (John Lithgow) is Brad’s sensitive dad.
Almost as if the producers of Bad Moms and Daddy’s Home got together to discuss ideas for sequels we have identical premises for films within weeks of each other. Unfortunately Daddy’s Home 2 manages to be even worse than A Bad Mom’s Christmas where I can think of only one scene that I found funny (dads and thermostats are legitimately funny).
Otherwise the plot and jokes wouldn’t even pass for a substandard episode of Modern Family.

Finally watched this tonight. It is even more politically incorrect than the Happytime Murders. I thought it started well, in the vein of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, however it ran out of story and jokes around the half way mark. That said, I thought John Lithgow and Mel Gibson remained consistent and fun throughout. I wasn’t expecting anything from this film and was pleasantly surprised
