Daddy's Home 2 - Discussion and Opinions
« on: November 19, 2017, 08:14:09 AM »
Horrible movie. I know it's going to be cliche on this site, but Mel Gibson was truly the highlight and that ain't saying much. I literally laughed twice. A lot of predictable story lines and they tried to hard to make it a "Christmas movie" that would stand the test of time like Home Alone or Christmas Vacation. Save your money. Also, when the fuck did two movie tickets some drinks and snacks become $65?  Crazy.

I have found that most current era Hollywood comedies are really quite crappy.

I did like Steve Martin and Chevy Chase back in the day.

People are basically donating money to the theater chain food-wise.

I don't eat popcorn or drink soda in the movie.

But I do find myself wanting to smash the box of popcorn in people's faces.

Stop at dollar store for sodas and theater size candy, hide in gf's purse. Zog defeated.

My mom went to see it and said it sucked as well.Said the kissing between Farrell and his dad was to much and that Mel was the only good thing in the movie.

I agree! Most "comedies" are not funny at all today. I had several guys from the gym say how they thought this movie was hilarious. It seems like the standards are dropping significantly.

I think movie theater attendance here in LV will drop due to the relatively higher ticket prices that went into force this past month.

I'm a big movie fan but the library has hundreds of recently screened flicks that are free of charge and Red Box fills in the void whenever the library lags behind.

Here in LV any movie shown during mid-week afternoons ... and there will be no more than 10 - 12 people in the audience.

Plus a couple of those movie fans will be snoring away in these new reclining rockers that are offered in most theaters,

I saw Justice League while sitting in one of those luxury seats with some kind of moving apparatus in the chair synced  with the movements on the screen.

They charged extra for that one ....$10,25 ! But  in the L.A area that ticket would cost $20+.

First one was pretty good, second was blah. The whole typical Christmas ending takes 20 minutes out of the total comedy aspect.. I usually like Walburg, but he is prob the most annoying actor in this movie. John Lithgow and Ferrel had some chemistry though.

I wanted to see it, Will Farrel is hilarious.  Can't believe it's not good. They were hilarious in the cop movie they did together.

Will Farrel sucks. The humor today is just horrible. There is nothing witty about it. It just for shock value.

Agreed,the only thing I liked Farrell in is step brothers.One of the best comedy movies ever.
