What to Know

Critics Consensus

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg have proven comedic chemistry, but Daddy's Home suffers from a dearth of genuinely funny ideas - and lacks enough guts or imagination to explore the satirical possibilities of its premise.

Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com It's Ferrell and Wahlberg who keep this engine revving like it does, a statement that shouldn't come as a shock for all of those who watched the pair's 2010 hit The Other Guys. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 16, 2016 Full Review Udita Jhunjhunwala Scroll.in Begins with an interesting premise but does not pack in enough satire into its contrived and predictable screenplay. Apr 15, 2016 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times That's one problematic comedy. Rated: 2/4 Jan 7, 2016 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Here's one of those comedies like Meet the Parents where an awkward family situation escalates, and everyone onscreen behaves so farcically that their inane behavior can only be explained by the requirements of the script. Rated: 1/4 Apr 23, 2022 Full Review Ian Brill Battleship Pretension Daddy's Home promises a battle between two forms of masculinity and fatherhood, and the implications of that could be fascinating. But what we get is as intense as a sparring match. Apr 13, 2021 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Has its giddy moments but by-and-large but doesn't contain enough "dad jokes" to make it worthwhile. Rated: 2/5 Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Greg M poignant, and a little too realistic Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review S R My sister owned it on VUDU, so I thought I'd give it a try. It was painful and just got worse as it went. I identified with many situations though and it made it that much harder to watch. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review Tyler S Sure it seemed a little all over the place, but I don't think this film was meant to be big. It is supposed to be a nice sit-down family film and have a good laugh. This movie completed those objectives. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/17/24 Full Review Brooks M I did of laughter every time I watch this movie! Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg do an amazing job with making this movie a comedy classic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review alan g A decent plot ruined by Will Ferrel. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/24 Full Review Russell H Could have been funnier but these two are great together. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
