stormhawk2018 "Daddy Day Care" is about 2 men (Eddie Murphy and Jeff Garlin) who work at company that make breakfast food. When they tried to make the breakfast food healthier they got fired. Then they decide to open a day care center. The parents was uneasy about guys running a day care because they felt its the women's job to do that kind of work. Will the dads show the world that guys can do that kind of work or will they fail? Pros: Good plot Funny Con: Acting was lacking. If you want a good family film you should give this a try.
Ross622 When I first saw Steve Carr's Daddy Day Care I thought that it was going to be a funny movie about 2 dads who lose their jobs (played by Eddie Murphy, and Jeff Garlin) who end up on deciding to open a daycare center at Murphy's house and then all hell breaks loose, and the movie gets worse with Angelica Huston's horrible performance as a head mistress to a preschool academy who does not believe in toddlers having fun, and Steve Zahn as Marvin one of the workers who ends up losing the same job just like Murphy and Garlin did while making dopey faces and being very weird which makes the movie even worse. This is really one of the worst movies of 2003 making me laugh at the movie instead of with it. I mean really what was Murphy, Garlin, Zahn, Huston, as well as Regina King who gives the only good performance in the entire movie thinking while making this miserable movie watching experience. But I was originally going to give this movie 1 star but had to give it two because Regina King gave the only good performance, and by the way those of you people who liked this movie watch it again to see if you change your mind about this laugh less comedy.
mrso_ory This is just a funny and fun movie. And as one user wrote, the chemistry between all the actors and kid actors really makes the movie. We could use more movies like this. Nothing inappropriate either. It is one of those movies that you come away smiling. It's a feel good movie. I imagine if more people would support these kinds of movies maybe Hollywood would make more. I do wonder if there are more people than we think who secretly enjoy a good wholesome movie. And love Steve Zahn. Eddie Murphy is so good when he keeps it clean. He seems genuinely nice and, of course, love his voice for animated characters.Everyone in the cast really makes this movie charming.
Hamza Bryce We first went and saw Daddy Day Care at the theater and really enjoyed it. My mother in law bought it for our family for Christmas and we have watched it 3 times since, and I laugh more and more each time. Eddie Murphy is truly a genius. I enjoyed his hard core stand up comedy, his Beverly Hills Cop movies, Coming to America, etc. and now am enjoying watching him in family movies like the Dr. Dolittles and Daddy Day Care. It is good clean fun our family can enjoy together, and that is rare nowadays. The little boy who plays Murphy's son is absolutely precious, and the casting for everyone was perfect, from Murphy's wife to his day care business partners. I have read reviews where people thought the movie was juvenile. Well, it is about children, so I don't know what the expectation was. Anyone who has spent time with little kids, or has kids of their own will definitely appreciate this hysterically funny film. The special features are fun too. There are interviews with the kids, and the kids do some interviewing too. Great music also!
