Daddy's Home Analysis

If any Joe blow were asked if he liked Daddy’s Home he would probably say yes, the critics would tell you otherwise. Out of five critic reviews only one said some good things about the movie Daddy’s Home. None of them said bad things, but none said anything outstanding either. All of the critics had wonderful things to say about Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, but they critiqued the comedy of the movie something terrible. The reviews of the critics had many different viewpoints some giving Daddy’s Home and ok review and others completely trashing the whole movie. One of the main things the critics talked about was weak comedy.

Will ferrell is a wonderful comical actor but this movie does not show off his comedy skills. According to John
The comedy in Daddy’s Home does not compare to the comedy in other movies that Ferrell and Wahlberg have done together. The Other Guys was one of the most comical movies that the acting pair has done and completely blows Daddy’s Home out of the water. “ In the universe of Will Ferrell films, it's helpful to think of Daddy’s Home as the misbegotten love child of The Other Guys and Kicking and Screaming” (O’sullivan). Wahlberg has done many movies serious and funny alike but Daddy’s Home does not show the potential that Mark Wahlberg has for comedy. The movie Daddy’s Home is like a lump of coal in your stocking in your stocking compared to The Other Guys. Both Wahlberg and Ferrell are great actors and both have done phenomenal work in the past, but Daddy’s Home does not show them off. The director of this movie holds the actors back and does not let them show off their comical styles. Will Ferrell is sometimes considered the Godfather of comedy even though Daddy’s Home does not show his full comedy potential Ferrell is still one of the funniest actors of all time. Not only was the comedy weak and the actors were held back but this movie is not a family friendly
The mood of the movie is heating between Dusty and Brad throughout the entire course of the movie, but the mood changes when Dusty meets his match. Dusty’s new wife and daughter are visited by the biological father of his new daughter and he proceeds to treat Dusty the same way Dusty treated Brad in the beginning of the movie, changed his bad boy tone. Dusty learned that even tho Brad is only the stepfather of his children he still makes a great father figure for his 2 children. The whole moral to this laugh free vulgar comedy is that a stepfather can be just as good as any father figure can be. No matter if the stepfather comes in at a low time in the family's life and the children do not like him at first the stepfather can make a wonderful father figure if he puts in the time and effort the family deserves out of a father. In the movie Daddy’s home Dusty realizes that Brad is as good of a father as any and will be good to his children. So all in all even in a heated battle between stepfather and biological father, when all the dust settles it is no surprise that a stepfather can be a great father
