I have seen a little bit of this game show and it seems decent enough. It reminds me of Family Feud and the questions they asked on Press Your Luck. The format of the show and host Jaleel White are both pretty watchable, but I think they need to jack things up a bit to make things more interesting, and White can do a better job with more interesting material and a wider variety of contestants. I like the rounds and flip questions asked. The final round is a good concept. If you are a game show fanatic and a fan of Jaleel White and remember him from his Family Matters days and want to see him in something different, you might want to give this a try.

This was a decent sequel to Daddy's Home, as it features the fathers in question as their fathers come to visit. The latter fathers were well cast with John Lithgow and Mel Gibson. This sequel had good moments and laughs throughout the movie and was almost as good as the original, with some of my favorite scenes including the airport scenes, the Sully scene, the talent show scenes, and the nativity Christmastime scene. The core of the original movie's cast returns, which I think was a good thing, and the new additions were also good, and the plot made sense, which was good for a comedy.

Expect you usual Will Ferrell role and movie when you see this film, and you will not be disappointed-I guarantee it. It has its moments, my favorites being the dance scene, the basketball game scene, and the motorcycle crash scene, and the airport scene, and the cast works well together, especially Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell, who have decent chemistry in this comedy, and there are some good laughs in the movie, but it could have been a little better. Overall not too bad a family film as Ferrell plays a stepfather who has to handle it when the real father reenters the scene, and I like it that they don't make either Ferrell or Wahlberg a bad guy. You might like it.
