Let's face it, nowadays it's a major surprise when a comedy actualy makes you laugh and for me, Daddy's Home shockingly did that, and I mean shockingly because I had no expectations at all. Previous Ferrell and Wahlberg pairing didn't prove effective last time I checked, mainly the reason I was unsure about this film. The plot certainly serves as a seemingly expected recipe for comedy, even though most comedies are horrible at executing properly plots that on page appear to be funny. Rivalries between two opposites most of the time deliver, and this is no exception.
Both Ferrell and Wahlberg play their parts correctly, each providing their own funny input to a hilarious cocktail that is their chemistry together, something I feared it wouldn't turn out so well.
Daddy's Home proves you can still make comedies with a small but effective plot and an adequate execution with two great leads, forging its weight on the efficiency of the pairing. Lighten up and enjoy.
