14 Upcoming Movies That Might Be Surprisingly Awesome
12. Daddy's Home 2
Release Date: November 10
Why It Should Suck: It's a sequel nobody really asked for or needed...to a comedy that received a middling response at best. History dictates how this almost always goes, so expect Daddy's Home 2 to be a desperate retread of the oddly successful original.
Why It Might Be Awesome: The only hope for this one is the intriguing new cast members, with Mel Gibson playing Mark Wahlberg's hard-a** dad, while John Lithgow is Will Ferrell's soft-as-silk father, and John Cena plays Wahlberg's step-kid's biological father.
At least there's a ton of personality being thrown at this sequel, and seeing Gibson back in a high-profile studio comedy should certainly be a sight to see. Plus, John Cena and Wahlberg playing off one another has a ton of potential.
With this in mind it could maybe, just maybe, end up clearing the low bar set by the original.
