After burying the hatchet in Daddy's Home (2015), the stepfather with a heart of gold, Brad, and the kids' biological dad with the perfect six-pack, Dusty, are now proud co-dads, working in unison to care for Megan and Dylan. This year, with Christmas just around the corner, the once-incompatible parents and their families decide to spend the holidays together; however, things will take a turn for the unexpected when Dusty's alpha-dad, Kurt, and Brad's touchy-feely father, Don, decide to pay a visit. Now--as the merry holidaymakers end up in a snow-capped cabin for a week--it seems that there's no escape from an impending Yuletide disaster unless the two pairs of fathers learn how to coexist and work together for the sake of the kids. Will things work out in the end? Can the four daddies save Christmas?

| indieWireDavid EhrlichHoliday movies don’t have to be good, they just have to be comfortable, and by that regrettable standard “Daddy’s Home 2” mostly gets the job done. |
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyLike the passable original, this formulaic comedy can’t stop teasing the possibility of a funnier, smarter movie being made with the exact premise, central conflicts, and stars. |
| Consequence of SoundClint WorthingtonDaddy’s Home 2 wants points for exploring the ever-expanding family tree in a Christmas comedy, but it only barely succeeds. Lithgow’s delightful grandpa offers a welcome diversion from the madness, but those moments are as fleeting as the plate of cookies left out for Santa on Christmas Eve. |
| Bowling Green Daily NewsMicheal ComptonIt feels like more of the same, a cinematic equivalent of getting another fruit cake as a holiday gift. |
| New York Magazine/VultureEmily YoshidaThis is a toxic, not at all benign film made for the enjoyment of everyone still oblivious to the fact that this kind of worldview is crashing down in flames even as we speak. |
| The PlaylistWill AshtonA vacuous and generally indifferent effort that lacks even the watered down spark and inspiration of its ho-hum 2015 original...this seasonal comedy sequel is a fruitless, frustrating nothingburger of tired dysfunctional family tropes and conservative-minded family values. |
| La Nación (Argentina)Diego BatlleOnly a few moments generate smiles. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| EscribiendoCineEmiliano BasileDaddy's Home 2 not only lives up to its predecessor but also renews the Christmas movie. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| ABC Radio BrisbaneMatthew ToomeyThis film will have its fans and will find its audience but it didn't offer enough laughs for me. |
| The Age (Australia)Jake WilsonFerrell and Wahlberg make an odd kind of comic team, since they rarely seem to be acting on the same level: Ferrell can hardly bring himself to be sincere, while Wahlberg can hardly be anything but. Still, the combination works. |
