Well, I just covered another parental-aimed comedy follow-up
a little while ago, so naturally I’m back with another one. One that I am
far less happy to see return. The first Daddy’s Home, aside from securing a
place as one of the worst films of 2015, is a film that still manages to piss
me off just from remembering that it exists. Its ability to irritate is matched
only by its complete wrongheadedness in trying to wring comedy out of parental
figures spending more time bitching at each other than actually taking care of
their kids. Not saying that it can’t be done but the first film flat-out failed
to do so and this sequel probably isn’t going to do much better. Let’s get this
the hell over with so I can go back to more uplifting holiday activities… like
setting my house on fire.
