Review of Daddy's Home (2015) by Thequietgamer — 26 Mar 2016

Wahlberg and Ferrell are reunited after "The Other Guys" in another enjoyable comedy. It might not hit the high hilarity moments of their previous collaboration, but there is still plenty of amusement to be found here. Not to mention quite a bit of heart.

The best part is that it manages to stay sweet and touching without getting sappy or getting in the way of it's jokes. This competition for the favor of the children gets pretty crazy. Some of the best gags were spoiled in the trailer, and it does get off to a rather slow start, but once things pick up it stays consistently amusing throughout.

One thing that can't go understated is how great Hannibal Buress and Thomas Hayden Church are in their supporting roles. The bring in almost as many laughs as the two leads. The best part is that basically all of their material wasn't spoiled before hand.

Daddy's Home stumbles a bit from time to time, and yes those trailers were quite revealing, but Wahlberg and Ferrell come together once again with (mostly) satisfying results. With a strong and (most importantly) funny supporting cast backing them up they manage to overcome the majority of the movie's stumbles.
