Flicks, Daniel Rutledge

The Daddies are back, in yet another unwanted comedy sequel that's just as mediocre as its predecessor, now with added Christmas. The original had Will Ferrell as a bumbling buffoon being victimised by an in-full-arsehole-mode Mark Wahlberg as the pair competed for alpha patriarch position. They ended up as friends, but in the sequel there's all sorts of extra stuff thrown at the formula - more buffoons, more arseholes, more daddies, daddies of daddies… you get the idea.

Vulture

This is a toxic, not at all benign film made for the enjoyment of everyone still oblivious to the fact that this kind of worldview is crashing down in flames even as we speak.

Variety

In its stupido-on-purpose way, can seem almost relevant in its trivial hit-or-miss yocks.

Time Out

It’s hard to know if this clunky comedy is part of Mel Gibson’s redemption arc or some strange new form of karmic retribution.

The New York Times

If Daddy's Home (2015) played like a distant, wayward cousin of Step Brothers, Daddy's Home 2, again directed by Sean Anders, is the sort of relative you might disown.

Sydney Morning Herald

Though no great shakes in terms of cinematic craft, the film has an odd sophistication, of a kind Anders might have picked up from the Farrelly brothers.

Stuff

Thuddingly unfunny and ultimately obnoxious.

Screen Daily

Unfortunately, that zeitgeist-y notion is largely squandered, along with any sense of character, wit or inspiration, in this deeply lazy sequel.

Little White Lies

Moronic in the extreme. No parts here to salvage.

Hollywood Reporter

It's odd, for a film that ostensibly makes male vulnerability its ultimate goal, how much contempt it has for its most open and loving character.
