For the filmmakers, Daddy's Home 2 was a chance to mine more comedy from real life family dynamics.
“The first movie was kind of a bromance, watching these two very different characters come together for the sake of the kids,” explains writer/director Sean Anders. “We weren’t thinking about a sequel when we made the first movie, but we loved the idea of the dads’ dads showing up for Christmas and adding another complicated layer to the conflict between the two of them. The idea was too good to pass up.”
“More Daddies, More Problems,” or so the tagline goes for the teaser poster for Paramount Pictures' new comedy Daddy’s Home 2 which is now online.
In Philippine cinemas November 29, Daddy's Home 2 stars Mark Wahlberg, Will Ferrell, Mel Gibson, John Lithgow, Linda Cardellini, John Cena, and Alessandra Ambrosio.
