Critics Consensus

A formulaic comedy that's unlikely to spread much yuletide merriment, Daddy's Home 2 can only muster a few stray yuks from its talented cast.

Gibson could scarcely hope to play a character more like himself if he landed the lead in The Mel Gibson Story.

2/5

The best that can be said for Daddy's Home 2 is that it's slightly less awful than its recent female-led counterpart, A Bad Moms Christmas.

1/5

A cynical, synthetic piece of Hollywood production line tat, which reheats the narrative leftovers of an already mediocre domestic comedy about blended families.

0.5/4

A series of clumsy slapstick gags, exaggerated conflicts, and formulaic holiday comedy nonsense.

1.5/5

...a milquetoast artifact of antiquated social norms, choosing to mock the notion of blended families while claiming to be empathetic to them.

This movie is surprisingly funny. Definitely a must watch every year during the holidays. Surprised about the low rating when it's just a Christmas comedy.

It might be my deep childhood biases for the entire cast and the fact that my wife and I have a mixed family, but I don't know why this movie got such a low rating. I think it's a fun holiday movie.
