John Cena has a small part as Roger.ДЄs usual, the kids are more interesting, and get better lines, than the adults. ItвЂ™s always nice to see old вЂњfriendsвЂќ again, Linda Cardellini (ER) as Sara.

Kurt, as played by Mel Gibson, tries repeatedly to destroy the relationship between Dusty and Brad, for no apparent reason, other than meanness. John Lithgow is a fine actor as Don, he is merely picking up a check. Will Farrell as Brad is still the same character he was on SNL. Mark Wahlberg as Dusty is probably the best of the lot because the rest of the characters are so exaggerated. Complete opposites, Don is touchy-feely and Kurt is macho. To complicate matters, BradвЂ™s father (Don) shows up without BradвЂ™s mother, and DustyвЂ™s father (Kurt) shows up uninvited. Dusty and Brad get along well together, but decide that Christmas must be spent together after Megan expresses publicly that she would like to have a normal Christmas. Brad is now married to Sara and they have a child together who shall remain nameless. Karen has a child, Adrianna, with her ex, Roger.

Dusty and his ex, Sara, have two children, Dylan and Megan. Part of the problem is figuring out which kid belongs to which parent. The ending just about saved this flick, but too much baggage carried the day. Like most comedies, there are a few laughs, just not enough. As I feared, the previews are about as good as it gets. I will say it was better than a Bad MomвЂ™s Christmas, but thatвЂ™s a pretty low bar. If I were to offer a guess, DaddyвЂ™s Home 2 is not going to be a favorite of many, unless your kid happened to be in the movie. It might be ItвЂ™s a Wonderful Life, maybe A ChristmasД¬arol, or if you are Mrs. Most people have a favorite Christmas movie.
