I suspect that some critics are triggered by bits that appear in trailers for the film, like the running joke that Will Ferrell kisses his father John Lithgow as Mel makes wry commentary on it. What someone today might call "gay panic" or "homophobia" is actually better described as CULTURE SHOCK, a term without so much judgment. It is all part of a character arc and effectively underscores the difference in parenting styles at the heart of the movie's conflicts. This is just some of the Dadvice offered to those celebrating the season. AMC and the DADDY’S HOME 2 cast discuss the hilarious holiday sequel. One-year later, the whole family is happy; Brad and Sara have a new baby boy named after Griffin, and Megan and Dylan have finally accepted Brad as their stepfather.

Sara is immediately intimidated by her; she feels Karen's looks surpass hers and she is jealous of the latter's professions as a doctor and a novelist. In an ironic twist of fate, Dusty is now in exactly the same position that he put Brad in a year ago – visibly intimidated by his stepdaughter's more muscular father, Roger. However, Brad is stunned when Dusty reveals that he still intends to drive him out of the family. Desperate, Brad spends tens of thousands of dollars on early Christmas gifts, including a pony and $18,000 tickets to an NBA match.

However, Dusty finally decides to follow Brad's lead on being a father, and instead quells the fight by starting a dance-off.

Megan and Dylan warmly embrace Don, as he is very present in their lives, while Kurt hasn't seen them since they were toddlers. From his envy of the affection the children show Don, Kurt rents a large cabin through Airbnb, to house them all through the holiday week. There is a fun movie within a movie that is an interesting commentary on Hollywood taste. The movie had me laughing and pretty much smiling the rest of the time. I found it to be a notch better and funnier than the original.
However, he has a change of heart after everyone breaks out into a song of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and he decides to stay.

Dadvice for the Holiday Season
As it progresses, it is revealed that Don has separated from his wife in real life. Sara comforts Don about his divorce in front of an eggnog bowl, but when Dusty reveals his part in the skit, Don and Brad become furious and Dusty and Brad's relationship becomes strained. When they leave, Megan and Adrianna sneak cups of alcoholic eggnog. Brad, attempting to get back at Dusty, invites Adrianna's father, Roger. Roger intimidates Dusty as he had done to Brad in the first film.
The possibility of serious injury was prolonged a few seconds too much. But most of the movie is about little mundane moments and conflicts people can rise above. The ending is Christmas Movie cheesy and that is okay with me. Having finally gotten used to each other's existence, Brad and Dusty must now deal with their intrusive fathers during the holidays. Go behind the scenes of DADDY’S HOME 2 in this exclusive clip.
A sequel to Daddy's Home , it stars Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Linda Cardellini, John Cena, with John Lithgow and Mel Gibson.

Sometime later, at the airport, Don and Kurt are preparing to head back to their respective homes. Adrianna, who has grown close with Don, reveals she signed him up for a dating app for seniors so he can move on from Brad’s mother. Kurt goes with Don up the terminal escalators, where he reveals to Don that he switched out the tickets and they are going to spend New Year's together in Las Vegas to find dates more effectively. There, Kurt tries to convince Dylan to ask Santa for a shotgun, but Don talks him out of it. Megan, however, wants one instead and is granted permission after Kurt makes a sexist comment. Out hunting the next day, Megan accidentally shoots Kurt in the shoulder, sending him to the hospital.
'Tis the season for family-friendly films, and DADDY’S HOME 2 is a fun ride for both parents and kids. The stars share why this could-be Christmas classic is a wonderful experience for the holiday. In April 2016, a sequel was announced with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg reprising their characters. Anders and John Morris wrote the script and Anders directed.
A wacky holiday family comedy, Daddy's Home 2 delivers some good laughs. Mel Gibson and John Lithgow make for great additions to the cast and prove to have good comedic chemistry with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. And the humor mixes satire and physical comedy fairly well; though Ferrell's broad slapstick goes a little too far at times. Also, the plot is pretty formulaic and uses a lot of rather cliched tropes. Yet despite a few weaknesses, Daddy's Home 2 is an entertaining Christmas film.
Dusty now has a job as a Panda DJ, becomes wealthy through his work, has moved in across the street in a castle he built there, and he and Brad are now friends. As Brad's mother arrives, Dusty and Brad discover Brad's new stepfather is Sully Sullenberger, pilot of the 2009 "Miracle on the Hudson" flight. They remember watching the film Sully together recently, and Dusty appears to be happy to see him. Brad seems willing to accept him, but instead runs down the terminal, screaming that Sully will never replace his father and "You only have one good story, my father has a million". Dusty's tough fighter pilot/Space Shuttle astronaut father Kurt and Brad's overbearing and cheerful father, Don, unexpectedly arrive for Christmas.
