Daddy Day Care is an original and funny comedy about Eddie Murphy running a day care center, whilst having his son make friends. Side Notes: It took me a while to recognize these actors from other stuff (such as Eddie Murphy who voiced Donkey from the Shrek movies, Regina King from If Beale Street Could Talk, Jeff Garlin from Curb Your Enthusiasm, Steve Zahn as Greg's dad from the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies, Elle Fanning from Super 8 and the 2017 remake of The Beguiled, Siobhan Fallon Hogan as Fred's mom from the Fred movies, and Anjelica Huston from John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum), some of the kids are so bratty, but they're funny for what they do, and my favorite part may be in the beginning when one of the kids doesn't like the Veggie-O's cereal and says "This cereal sucks!".

Daddy Day Care is a feel good film with real heart and Eddie Murphy is very entertaining. There film has some good dialogue and the young boy playing Murphy's son is especially brilliant. The film is ahead of its time in terms of its gender representations. The film loses a little steam for a while with some childish humour but it does maintain interest with the inspector's visits. It finishes strongly with a feel good ending and a great soundtrack.

Yesterday, with some trepidation I must admit, I saw Daddy Day Care with the great Eddie Murphy and my fave Steve Zahn. I cannot say how extraordinarily brilliant this film was even for a 25 year old single male such as myself. I just couldn't stop laughing throughout as the film was just so much fun. I was told by the person sitting close to me to stop giggling so incessantly especially while Eddie Murphy was dressed like a Broccoli. I have to admit that I do like films with children in, but this film has to be the best yet. The children were so cute I wish I could have opened up a Day Care centre for them myself. I know that there must be loads more of you out there who loved this film as much as I did.

Daddy Day Care(2003), with Eddie Murphy, is your average family movie. In most movies, Eddie Murphy is usually the cause of funny in his movies. But in this, the kids are the source of funny. Recommended for only kids. Some adults might like it. I thought it was fine. DADDY DAY CARE: **1/2(out of 4) PG for brief mild language

We first saw Bruce Almighty then saw DDC. All three of us--two with college degrees and one a business owner and the other a scientist--adored it. It was light-hearted entertainment that all could enjoy and we did. I recommend it for the family. Critical comments against the actors DO NOT FLY. The movie as a whole does. Go and ENJOY IT!!!!

"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.

A great film for family. I recently watched this movie and enjoyed the nostalgia it brought to me. Funny throughout and Eddie Murphy is splendid as usual. If you have not yet seen this film with the kids, highly recommended!

I heard some awful reviews of this movie. I thought the coming attractions were funny, though. The movie itself is actually quite amusing. Unfortunately, it also wastes Academy Award winner Anjelica Houston in a nothing role. The kids are great. The movie is predictable but entertaining.
