This was a fun sequel to the first movie. But with a similar formula, some of the fun was not hidden by a reveal. However, the movie makers did try to mix in some new things. It will be hard to top the first fil and unfortunately, this film does not.

Daddy's Home 2 - 家有兩個爸X2



Daddy's Home 2 (家有兩個爸X2) is an 2017 film. The movie stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. The supporting cast include Linda Cardellini, Thomas Haden Church, Hannibal Buress, and John Cena. For the sequel, they added Alessandra Ambrosio, John Lithgow and Mel Gibson to the supporting cast.

This Christmas, the grandfathers get involved in the picture. Brad's dad, Don, played by John Lithgow, and Dusty's dad, Kurt, played by Mel Gibson. Instead of a calm Christmas in the suburbs, they decide to get a big house in the snowy mountains. Dusty and his dad do not get along. Brad and his dad get along too well. With this in mind, the two merging families go at it in their own way. But wait, to Dusty's dismay, his wife's ex-husband, Roger, played by John Cena, also joins the fray. What a Christmas! Will they survive it all?

The second time around, with the addition of Mel, Johh x2 and Alessandra made the movie a bit interesting. The hijinx still still primarily with Will and Mark, but the supporting cast make their lives a lot harder to live. I was laughing at many parts, but was not as much as the first one. Maybe I kind of knew what was on the horizon. But it was a funny movie and I like Will Ferrell movies. This one worked for me.

Daddy's Home - 家有兩個爸



Daddy's Home (家有兩個爸) is an 2015 film. The movie stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. The supporting cast include Linda Cardellini, Thomas Haden Church, Hannibal Buress, and John Cena. The movie was a Christmas hit as counter programing to the massive Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Will Ferrell plays Brad, who has marriage Sara, whom brings to the marriage, a son and daughter. Brad cannot have his own biological kids, but longs for kids in his life. Brad devotes himself to be the best father he knows how to be. BUT his step kids are still not accepting. One Christmas, they biological father and Sara's ex-husband decides he's going to visit. Enter Dusty Mayron, played by Mark Wahlberg. Brad and Dusty couldn't be more opposite of each other. With their "real" dad back, the two kids start to take to him and Brad starts to fell left out. How will this story end?

I laughed a lot in this movie. Sometimes to point of crying. But on the second watch, I did not. So, the jokes only work once if you're not expecting them. The trailer does leave quite a bit of stuff out. A modern comedy with modern fatherhood dilemmas presented.
