Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg (together again after 2010's The Other Guys) compete for the adoration of their children in this comedy. When a loving-but-dweebish step-dad (Ferrell) is confronted by the cool-but-jerkish biological father (Wahlberg) of his partner’s children, a war for ultimate parenthood commences…
If you want to see Will Ferrell victimised by in-full-arsehole-mode Mark Wahlberg for an hour or so, this movie is for you. That actually could sound pretty appealing, but Daddy's Home is not a good movie. Far too many of the comedic beats miss their mark in this predictable and lazy story for me to recommend it.
Full reviewThe first PG-13 comedy from R-rated laffer auteur Sean Anders ("Horrible Bosses 2," "That's My Boy") winds up an unpalatable mix with little to satisfy families or anyone who likes to laugh.
Full reviewAnders's film tells a basic story in which strutting males repeatedly lock horns to varying degrees of comic effect.

It is best avoided unless a movie that has the attitude and mind-set of a schoolyard bully happens to be your thing.

It's by-numbers filmmaking that rarely adds up to anything worth the price of admission.

A one-trick pony, and that trick - an effortlessly cool Wahlberg emasculating a beleaguered Ferrell - just isn't fresh or funny enough to sustain a 95-minute movie.

If it all ends in cornball reconciliation, the dumb, fuzzy smile it leaves suggests it's well earned.
