Their newfound partnership soon gets put to the test when Dusty's old-school, macho dad and Brad's gentle father arrive to turn the holiday upside down.

Critics Consensus

A formulaic comedy that's unlikely to spread much yuletide merriment, Daddy's Home 2 can only muster a few stray yuks from its talented cast.

Gibson could scarcely hope to play a character more like himself if he landed the lead in The Mel Gibson Story.

2/5

The best that can be said for Daddy's Home 2 is that it's slightly less awful than its recent female-led counterpart, A Bad Moms Christmas.

1/5

A cynical, synthetic piece of Hollywood production line tat, which reheats the narrative leftovers of an already mediocre domestic comedy about blended families.

0.5/4

A series of clumsy slapstick gags, exaggerated conflicts, and formulaic holiday comedy nonsense.

1.5/5

...a milquetoast artifact of antiquated social norms, choosing to mock the notion of blended families while claiming to be empathetic to them.

This was an awesome movie just like the first one, but it was a christmas movie. Still an amazing watch and I'd gladly watch it again, it was funny and witty, and had the usual awesome acting you can expect from will, mark, and john.

This movie is surprisingly funny. Definitely a must watch every year during the holidays. Surprised about the low rating when it's just a Christmas comedy.
