Review Film: DADDY'S HOME 2 (2017)

in #film6 years ago


Comedy can be said to be good if able to meet the purpose of laughter, as horror ignites fear or adrenaline racing action. Be special if there is a scene (with the function of supporting that goal) that is constantly embedded in the memory. At Daddy's Home, the moment came when Brad (Will Ferrell) fell to the wall for failing to control Dusty's (Mark Wahlberg) motor. The sequel tried to repeat the same kind of magic when Brad went to control the snow vacuum. The concept is similar to a different result because the director, Sean Anders, just trying to imitate. That's why Daddy's Home 2 is not a special trea but it was not a bad comedy, and I was laughing at the absurdity of the situation as the number of fathers doubled. As an extreme version of each child came grandparents; Don (John Lithgow) is more chatty, silly, and tacky than Brad, as well as Kurt (Mel Gibson) the elders through the level of cruelty and sarcasm that makes Dusty look soft. For the sake of the family nuances of Christmas, they with their wives and boys choose a vacation at a resort. This condition facilitates interesting sights such as the four fathers with different insanity gathering in the middle of the night, arguing about the thermostat.

A lot of debate, a lot of quarrels, due to Don's and Brad's cynicism and Kurt's cynicism, would not lead to sane talk. Anders picked up the conversation like a war. A verbal war in which sentences whose character catapult is like a machine gun bullet. Noisy, fast, chaotic without rules. Reluctant to pay attention to timing, the line of a punch line in the manuscript of Anders and John Morris failed to land hard on the laughter of the audience. Although thanks to the ranks of his players, the feeling of sleepiness have not yet gained control, Ferrell remained in prison, an adult little boy with a streak of misfortune, the more he suffered, the more entertained the audience. When Wahlberg as Dusty is now the most healthy-minded figure while John Cena's comic talent is limited to lack of supporting material, two grandfathers are able to steal attention. Gibson plays the role of authoritative as well as fierce mouth as he often playing, only now masculinity is used for the foundation of humour that in fact a big success. It was so easy he tripped every chance. While Lithgow, through a big smile and bright eyes are the best. Tickling from the beginning, she crushed feelings in just one emotional moment.

Surprisingly Daddy's Home 2 has a stack of drama portions, or at least serious speeches hiding behind the guise of jokes. Naturally, considering the increase in the number of fathers means more problems. Too many even, until the film difficult to provide total handling. Some problematic obtain a natural resolution, a kind of simple but simple Dusty-Kurt relationship. But some are left behind, for example when Kurt's attempt to catch the attention of the grandchildren forgotten. There were 9 family members (10 plus Cena's Roger), and they were all given a subplot. Excessive, although the inclusion of a little message about women's rights since childhood was a relief, closing a musical number accompanied the song Do They Know It's Christmas? an emergency show tub that appears more sudden than Bollywood treats. Conclusion feels magical, but is not it about Christmas? Carrying the spirit, despite being executed in a lazy way, Daddy's Home 2 is still a good comedy, although it will not belong in the minds of the audience.

I found this movie good old fashioned silly fun with plenty of over the top slapstick comedy but the balancing act with all the fathers was always going to be difficult managing all the interactions and giving everyone enough screen time to develop their stories and relationships

I do feel they could have left out some of the serious topics and just had fun with it! Totally agree with your review
