Daddy's Home's reviews
Media reviews
The A.V. Club
Like other comedies co-written and/or directed by Sean Anders, it?s fitfully amusing and, given that quality, a little too sure of itself.
The Telegraph
Lame Ferrell (...) tends to be the best Ferrell, and despite the film's general mediocrity in most departments (...) his floundering star turn delivers the goods.
Time
In its vulgar, antic way, it raises questions about modern manhood, the wisdom of doing the right thing and the sexual allure of decency.
El País
The film won't make new converts, but it doesn't betray the faith of those who still believe in the solid comic charisma of Ferrell.
Los Angeles Times
In its best moments, it's a sly exposé of the frailties of the contemporary male self-image and in its lesser moments a simplistic slapstick. This being a Will Ferrell comedy, sometimes those moments are one and the same.
The Hollywood Reporter
'Daddy?s Home' plays like a comedy underwater: Its rhythms are sluggish, its jokes predictable and the gags are set up with such thudding deliberateness that even the sight of Ferrell losing control of a motorcycle, careening through the air and crashing straight through his house barely raises an eyebrow.
Variety
The forgettable comedy 'Daddy?s Home' isn?t so much a lump of coal as an empty box.
Time Out
'Daddy?s Home' raises the occasional smile, but it's not exactly Wahlberg or Ferrell's finest hour.
