	Author	Review
United States	Geoff Berkshire Variety	"An unpalatable mix with little to satisfy families or anyone who likes to laugh (...) Tedious and trite"	NEG
United States	Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"Daddy’s Home is a one-trick pony, and that trick (...) just isn’t fresh or funny enough to sustain a 95-minute movie"	NEG
United States	Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times	"In its best moments, it's a sly exposé of the frailties of the contemporary male self-image and in its lesser moments a simplistic slapstick. This being a Will Ferrell comedy, sometimes those moments are one and the same"	NEU
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"The problem with 'Daddy's Home' is that it takes a nasty premise, best suited to a farce or a harsh satire, and tries to make a heartwarming comedy out of it"	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"Lame Ferrell, through some weird freak of his talent, tends to be the best Ferrell, and despite the film’s general mediocrity in most departments (...) his floundering star turn delivers the goods (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Dave Calhoun Time Out	"Daddy’s Home raises the occasional smile, but it’s not exactly Wahlberg or Ferrell’s finest hour (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
