Add a CommentDaddy Day Care is an extremely adorable and hilarious movie for the whole family to enjoy. When two businessman fathers are out of work, they must come up with a successful plan to find work and save on childcare. This leads them to creating their own daycare and learning valuable lessons on parents, children, and love. I find it amazing how kids can be such great actors, sometimes even better than adults. I would totally recommend this film and rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

I liked this movie. Good for all ages. Funny.
Ever thought that running a child care centre would be easy? Consider your choices after watching this movie
Daddy Day Care is an family oriented movie starring the hilarious. Eddie Murphy. The movie is about two struggling businessman (Murphy and Jeff Garlin). The two fathers get fired from their jobs and with no options left, come across the idea to open up their own day care. While the daycare is initially met with little interest. As time grows so does Daddy Day Care. The movie illustrates the importance man(fathers) can have on children, and how children can learn from men just like they can from woman. Despite having many supporters as the movie progresses, there are still a few enemies. Anjelica Huston stars as Ms. Harridan, the headmaster of prestigious private preschool Chapman Academy. She is being beat by Daddy Day Care and resorts to drastic measures to ensure Chapman Academy is the last Preschool standing. The movie has many hilarious scenes and shows the difficulties parents have in raising children. My personal favorite moment from the movie is when Charlie(Murphy) walks into the bathroom, and discovers his friend and partners son has dirtied his whole bathroom by missing the toilet. This scene offers some great individual acting from Murphy who expresses the mess he sees so amazingly that despite no mess being shown, the viewer can get a visual picture of how the bathroom would look. The movie, is great to watch with your family and offers something to both children and parents , they can see the importance that they offer to each other. I would give this movie a 9 out of 10 rating and would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to watch a enjoyable comedy movie that is appropriate for the whole family.
ok
I funny movie...!!! The plot was okay!!! I like the ending how the relationship between the dad and his son grew :D
I watched Daddy Day care and it is a hilarious comedy about kids ruling the roast! It is about these two ad execs Charlie (Eddie Murphy) and Phil (Curb Your Enthusiasm’s Jeff Garlin) lose their jobs trying to sell veggie flavored breakfast cereal. They run to raise a daddy day care business, but things don’t go right for them, the teacher’s at the Chapman’s Academy try to shut them down, but their plan backfires so in the end Charlie and Phil wins and then their Daddy Day Care turns into a huge centre.
Watchable (Fair) Daddy Day Care (2003) 92 min. Half-decent family picture with the only moments worth watching is from the kids themselves. What has Eddie Murphy done with his career? I hope there's more of the "48 Hrs" still in him....
