so-so movie. the directors coulda done a better job polishing the plot a bit more. still, it's packed with a few laughs.

This movie is as funny as changing an old persons diaper!
Easily Eddie Murphys worst movie. I may have chuckled once
slightly, throughout the whole movie! HIGHLY UNRECOMMENDED!

Daddy Day Care is reminded of movies done long ago that were made for the whole family to enjoy. This a kiddie movie that kids, grown-ups, and teens will enjoy. It delievers the message in what most family movies do that family is important.

The kids are joyous, the script is decent, and the star cast does great in making this funny-family flick come to life.
The movie is Mr.Mom meets Kindergarden Cop. It starts when Eddie and a co-worker are laid off. When they can't find a job after a couple of weeks the two men decide to open a day-care center for some quick bucks. The two guys in that time aqquire a lot of kids and learn that it's hard to manage children especially when they are on sugar highs or bored. Quickly they recieve complaints from the headmistress at Chapman Academy a pretigious pre-school that dosn't like losing buisness to a fly-by-night to make a quick buck day-care. Quickly a rivarly grows between the two places and when the two Mr. Moms decide they want Daddy Day Care to a permanet establishment all hell breaks loose. But, then the guys get asked to do a job only problem they like what has become of Daddy Day Care and the connection they feel with their kids and the other children. So now the men have to make a career and life choice- daycare or career that offers lots of cash?

You can tell that Eddie has chemistry with the kids and he reminded me of how Arnold Swchwangger was with his kiddie cast in "Kindergarden Cop." The kids are charming and each of them really sparkles on screen and they are simply adorable in the interviews in the special feature portions of this DVD. I wanted to adopt all of them and take them home with me and I can't wait to see these budding youngsters in upcoming movies. Steve Zahn delievers a studded performance as the Trekkie and he too seemed to have a connection with the kids. I love Steve Zahn and I can only hope to see him in more movies to come. I loved watching this movie to see the real on-screen connections with the children. It's a comedic movie that's not over the top or too drawn out going for a million ridiciolous laughs as possible which you normally see in comedies.

With no negative language, offensive behavior, or nudity it's a movie I watch with my kids more than once and is a rare treasure to see. It's an entertaining kiddie comedy. All in all this one of those movies to rent or buy for family movie night!

Only joking, folks. DADDY DAY CARE is one of those beating the odds movies that delivers everything you expect it to, and that's fine. The movie had me laughing and the interaction between the kids and adults was funny. Eddie Murphy is a little more subdued than usual, and Jeff Garlin is good as his friend and partner. Steve Zahn is great as Marvin, the Star Trek geek who has a winning way with the kids; and Anjelica Huston--well, this talented Oscar winner proves she can do pretty much anything and be fun to watch. Regina King (Ray) is pretty much wasted in the role of Eddie's wife, but the script doesn't give her much to do. It's certainly not destined to be a classic, but it provides fun entertainment.
