Daddy's Home 2

To be honest, I was expecting much worse. Sure, there were a few dull or cheesy moments, but overall, it struck me as a little better than the first film. The biggest surprise for me was probably Mel Gibson who was finally convincing in his role. The worst performance was delivered by Alessandra Ambrosio. I never understood the casting of models in films. The ending with all that singing and dancing was something terrible, but I managed to control myself and didn't go below three stars. 3*- (30.06.2018)

It was quite funny in places and that's the main thing I want from an American comedy these days. Mel Gibson stole the film for himself, but it doesn't really matter because he's simply good and carries it without a hitch. He also doesn't mind making a bit of a fool of himself. The others are more or less what they always are and manage to have a little fun here and there. (27.02.2018)

More interesting than the first one thanks to Mel Gibson, but still rather average family entertainment with good actors. There aren't many gags, and the occasional situational humour is amusing, but it's more for kids and family, which is why it also keeps the bad language to a minimum. I wasn't bored, very fine as an outing, but I would need more for a 4*. I envy my friend who saw all the actors involved live a week ago. 65% (30.11.2017)

I guess I’ll start with a good old comparison. It’s just not better than the first one. The first instalment had some genius scenes that were simply unforgettable. On the other hand, the producers have casted a very solid group of actors none of which could ever disappoint. I was personally excited to see Mel Gibson in this sort of a role again; he was obviously enjoying it. I think the idea is amazing and as far as the premise goes, I couldn’t really recall any Griswold Christmas Vacation. The overall impression is very positive because I can’t get enough of these kinds of comedies. And if the Americans don’t stop pushing them on me, I won’t even be mad. (13.08.2018)
