Daddy’s Home is a light, fun, all-around run-of-the-mill comedy. It was our pick for the family movie on Christmas Day, and it suited everyone well enough, age 14 to 73.
It was better than I expected. Sure, it’s corny sometimes. Sure, its humor sometimes tries too hard. But the laughs were as varied as our ages, and at some point there was something funny for each and all of us.
Daddy’s Home also provided more entertainment that I expected. Not that the acting was phenomenal. But it was enough. And admittedly, I had low expectations. But I giggled a time or two. I laughed out loud more than once.
It’s forgettable, yes. But it’s entertaining while it lasts.
