There are some good laughs to be found in Daddy Day Care, especially if you're a preschooler with energy to burn. This romper-room comedy shamelessly exploits its high concept idea--dropping Eddie Murphy into a seething den of rugrats--but kids will have plenty of vicarious fun as Murphy and his fellow laid-off colleague (Jeff Garlin) battle unemployment by opening a day-care center in Eddie's home. In partial Witches mode, Anjelica Huston hams it up as a day-care competitor bent on closing Eddie down, while doofus extraordinaire Steve Zahn is recruited as a third partner in "Daddy Day Care," trying his best to entertain a pack of hyperactive kids who've stopped taking their Ritalin. Zahn makes a funny Star Trek fan (even when the script contains bogus Trekkie trivia), and Murphy deserves credit for giving his all in a comedy that mostly squanders his talent. Indeed, is Daddy Day Care a comedy or every parent's nightmare? Daring viewers can decide for themselves. --Jeff Shannon

An Enjoyable Movie Everyone Can Appreciate February 17, 2010
Tracy Oshima (Long Beach, California)
This is an adorable movie and was defiantly worth my time. It's about a guy who loses his job and his and his friends trying to run a day care. They have plenty of road blocks getting started but really start to care for the kids and eventually they get the daycare business under wraps.
But a competing school has gotten upset and tries to shut down Daddy Day Care, by calling the health dept. Still, they make the requirements and continue on their way. All of a sudden they get their jobs back but end up going back, but the day care jobs they've given up turn out to be more important than the high powered jobs they went back to so it's back to the day care again.
This movie was invigorating and shows father son relationships. Also the equality of man and women and what they can do, job wise. Overall, kids and parents alike will enjoy the movie. I defiantly recommend this for families and friends everywhere.
Daddy Day Care January 4, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Charlie and Phil are so consumed by their high profile advertising jobs that they are completely missing out on the joys of fatherhood. After failing to excite the public about vegetable cereal, Charlie and Phil are fired from their ad jobs. That means no more expensive day care for their sons at the exclusive Chapman Academy, run by the harsh taskmistress Miss Gwyneth Harridan. While floundering aimlessly in search of employment and tending to his four-year-old son Ben during the day while his wife Kim is at work, Charlie has an idea. If he and Phil can handle taking care of two kids, how much harder can it be to supervise ten? Much harder than they ever imagined. Every kid is different and every one is a hilarious challenge, whether they're suffering from sugar rush, fantasizing about being super heroes, or just demolishing everything in sight, Charlie and Phil soon realize they are in over their heads. Way over their heads. I thought this movie was really funny.
Unenjoyable obvious rip off. October 3, 2009
H. Mario (Texas, USA)
I love Eddie Murphy. I've been a fan since his stints on Saturday Night Live. But his acting is suffering horribly, as of late. His role choices seem to be suffering as well. While we loved him in Dr. Doolittle and Dr. Doolittle 2, his preoccupation with fatherhood seems to be muddying his professional choices. Perhaps he has his eye on filling Bill Cosby's shoes, one day...but, while I love Eddie Murphy, he's no Bill Cosby. And that's a good thing. He's Eddie Murphy! I don't know if it was the acting, the direction, or WHAT, but this movie just didn't do it for me. While there were funny moments (Siobhan Fallon Hogan as "Peggy" was hilarious), the funny moments do not fully redeem this work. I was rather disappointed to see the depths to which Steve Carr would stoop to make us laugh. Potty humor, flatulence and sugar-highs are devices used by uncreative, low-talented individuals who are trying to fit in with real artists. Honestly, there was nothing in this movie that Michael Keaton didn't already do in "Mr. Mom," and Keaton did it much, MUCH better, in my opinion. All in all, while it was enjoyable, I found it to be a sad rip off of a much better film...a real disappointment that not even Anjelica Huston could salvage. Okay, okay, the movie was fun and it did make me laugh, it had some touching moments and was well enacted. But even with all that, the whole time, I couldn't help but think..."What a rip off...it's been done and done and now, it's being done again."
Great! February 21, 2009

This movie was amazingly great and it came in very good condition! There was absolutely nothing wrong with it. That's why I love ordering from Amazon.com because they always provide the best products!!!
