Review of Daddy's Home (2015) by Ydnar4 — 15 Jan 2016

I was a little worried that watching Daddy's Home in the theatre would be a waste of time. I had heard that this film has aimed for more of a family audience, but I really didn't get that vibe. This is not a kids movie at all.

Anyone who has seen The Other Guys knows that Mark Wahlberg and Ferrell have chemistry and it is one of the most important parts of this film and that was what kept it on an enjoyable level because I was not laughing out loud at all the jokes.

The cast is pretty solid. I really liked the addition of Hannibal Burress, he was one of the funniest characters in the film although he really didn't need to be there. There is so much product placement in Daddy's Home that it almost feels like they are parodying it.

There is a pretty good amount of heart in this movie and although the story is not exactly the most believable its still a warming end.
