Father and stepfather Dusty and Brad join forces to make Christmastime perfect for the children. Their newfound partnership soon gets put to the test when Dusty's old-school, macho dad and Brad's gentle father arrive to turn the holiday upside down. After a sudden change in plans, the four men decide to take the kids to a luxury resort for a fun-filled getaway that turns into a hilariously chaotic adventure.

Daddy's Home 2

What to Know

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.

Ed Potton

Times (UK)

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.

Rated: 2/5

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

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

Rated: 1/5

Brian Eggert

Deep Focus Review

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

Rated: 0.5/4

Leigh Monson

Substream Magazine

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

Rated: 1.5/5
