Happened to catch this movie on TV, Christmas Eve. I found it fairly enjoyable for what it was, a dumb comedy. The film stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, who have a great chemistry with each other! The premise is extremely silly, and thankfully, the movie doesn't take itself too seriously. Perhaps it delves into that silliness too much. The general plot functions to a decent degree. It generally centers around the two leads trying to "out-father" one another. The characters don't have much in the way of depth, though it's good enough that they serve the jokes.

What of the comedy, though? There's a dissonance to me between the more ill-spirited, adult jokes and the silly, fun-for-the-whole-family ones. Some of them work, some don't. As an example of the first, there's a token black character in the movie, who would have been fine if the movie quit making these thin-veiled racist jokes. Essentially things like: "So you're going to fire me because of the color of my skin?" and pointing out that someone is racist, this is half of his character's repertoire. Then there is the awful dance scene [spoiler]at the end.[/spoiler] One interesting thing actually - I thought the movie was set in the early 2000s, but was surprised to learn it was a 2015 release. It seems to be stuck in the time period I mentioned, where skateboarding and breakdancing were all the hype among the kids. It's quite apparent that old executives had a say in the film's making, as it is absurdly dated in its essence.

Overall, there's not much to say about "Daddy's Home". It's a stupid comedy that might be worth a watch if you are willing to enjoy it for it what it is. I did, though I'm not going to deny its prelavent issues. Still, it had some genuinely hillarious moments.

> Step-dad versus stepped-in dad.

In the past for an action movie, Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg came together and now for a comedy, once again the unusual combo returned. Surprisingly the movie was more hilarious than what I thought after listening to those who saw it already. Being a comedian, Will Ferrell was as usual awesome, but Wahlberg contribution had an equally advantageous.

The story was a one liner, but individual comedy scenes made an impact for its grand scale success. Generally, the scenes from the comedy films are easy to predict, so in this I felt similarly, but in the many parts it kept turning in another direction. Tried its best to avoid cliches, but we know that's impossible. Either way, it carried out some decent laughs.

The movie was all about the dad versus the step-dad. When a man thinks he's finally getting along with his step-kids, then comes their real dad who threatens to take aback his wife and children. So they go head-to-head and followed by a chain of life changing events comes a suitable conclusion. But there's a loop in the end, so possibly we can expect a sequel. Knowing it was not the best comedy of the year, I was not upset either for overall movie. I can even suggest it if you are looking for a simple entertainment.
