The first Daddy's Home was hardly a comedic masterpiece. It was sub par for the most part and only really borderline enjoyable thanks to a cast that seemed enthusiastic and game to play a part in it. For the sequel, like Bad Mom's (a franchise where it's first movie was actually great) it has decided to bring in the grandparents. That didn't work out well for A Bad Mom's Christmas and it doesn't work for Daddy's Home 2 either.

There's nothing wrong with the performances in this one as such. Nobody is all that great, but they do the best they can with the material. The material however is the problem. This script is dire. It's a comedy without any jokes, a christmas movie without any heart and a family story where almost everyone is unwittingly unlikeable. I can't think of a single joke, a single moment that made me laugh and when a film contains Farrel, Wahlberg, Gibson and Lithgow- that's unforgivable.

I really enjoyed this multi-generational family novel, full of badly behaved grans, teenaged girls and dads. In fact, not many of the characters are behaving well in Good Eggs. But that’s what makes it so much fun. There are a lot of laugh out loud moments in this - so beware of where you’re reading it!
Some of the exploits seem a little far fetched, but the comedy value more than makes up for that, and this is a great book to escape from reality with. Grandma Millie would be enough entertainment on her own.she’s a kleptomaniac who drives a very much abused Renault, who says what she thinks and doesn’t worry about the consequences.
I don’t want to give too much away, but I really did enjoy this - it’s great, crazy and full of heart.
Many thanks to The Pigeonhole for serialising this, and Rebecca Hardiman for joining in with the read!
