    • Quotes

      Dusty Mayron: So the King raised his mighty sword and rained steel down upon the Step King.

      Brad Whitaker: But the Step King blocked it with his shield. And swung his cat o'nine tails into the King's smug face.

      Dusty Mayron: Which the King easily brushed aside like the feather of a gull. And then the King did counter with a barrage of slashes and thrusts so fast and precise the Step King had no way to party.

      Megan, Dylan: Yay!

      Dusty Mayron: But he did. He did. He parried all of them. Easily. It was no big deal.

      Megan, Dylan: Aww.

      Brad Whitaker: Then he grabbed the King's sword right out of his hand and smashed it over his knee.

      Megan, Dylan: Boo!

      Dusty Mayron: That's when the King pulled out a pump-action Mossberg shotgun!

      Brad Whitaker: Which is completely anachronistic. So if we're gonna be doing any time period, then the Step King just happened to be wearing Kevlar body armor.

      Dusty Mayron: Concussion grenade!

      Brad Whitaker: Hand grenade.

      Dusty Mayron: Rocket launcher.

      Brad Whitaker: Missile launcher.

      Dusty Mayron: Air strike.

      Brad Whitaker: Nuclear strike.

      Dusty Mayron: Black hole.

      Brad Whitaker: God.

    Could have been an Adam Sandler movie
    Given how much I loved "The Other Guys",I was pretty excited to see Ferrel and Wahlberg back together again. But it turns out that "Daddy's Home" is for the most part just a normal family friendly comedy. It lacks the edge and twisted humor you'll normally find in Will Ferrel movies.

    Since this is a spoiler free review I'm not going to say too much about the plot. Will Ferrel plays the role of "Brad", who is working his ass off trying to be the new dad for the two children in his new family. But suddenly one day their real dad, played by Wahlberg, shows up with a plan to win his family back. From there on out everything is pretty predictable. In fact, if you replaced Will Ferrel with Adam Sandler you might think to yourself "have I seen this before?"

    If you're expecting a movie in the style of "The Other Guys", you will be disappointed. If you just want to relax with a typical family comedy, it's pretty good. You just might want to have your youngest kids sit this one out.
