Not bad

Daddy Day Care is not absolutely brilliant, but what I liked about it was that it didn't try to be. Admittedly the story is silly and predictable, the script has its weak spots, it can get sickly sweet in places and there are some repetitive sight gags. However, it is nicely filmed, has a good soundtrack, does have some funny moments and there are some decent performances from Eddie Murphy(who sensibly underplays),Jeff Carlin and Anjelica Huston. However it is the kids who steal the show, they are very cute and energetic. Overall, Daddy Day Care isn't that bad, it is lacking in originality but has a good cast and has enough energy to make it watchable. 6/10 Bethany Cox

Controlled Eddie Murphy, funny Jeff Garlin, adorable kids

Charlie (Eddie Murphy) and Kim Hinton (Regina King) bring Ben to try out for the expensive Chapman Academy. Kim is going back to work. Gwyneth Harridan (Anjelica Huston) is the head mistress. Jenny (Lacey Chabert) is one of the teachers. Charlie and co-worker Phil (Jeff Garlin) both get fired. Charlie pulls Ben out of Chapman. Charlie and Phil turn into Mr Moms. Charlie has an idea to start Daddy Day Care with Phil. As the guys get more successful, Harridan starts to notice and she takes on Daddy Day Care. When they get too many kids, they hire weirdo Marvin (Steve Zahn) who turns out to be good with kids.

Seeing Jeff Garlin and Eddie Murphy get hit again and again can be funny or repetitive. It's a bit of both in this case. Eddie Murphy is playing it more reserved than usual. Jeff Garlin is funny. The kids are all rambunctious and cute. Some will notice a young Elle Fanning. It's not terribly original copying quite a few jokes from Mr Mom. It has a couple of funny moments and a nice film overall.

Daddy Day Care

Cheaper by the Dozen was out the same year, and this is almost the same type of film. I have given this film the same rating out of 10 as I did for Cheaper (because it isn't brilliant),but I think this is the much better film to watch. Basically two fathers, Charlie Hinton (Eddie Murphy) and his friend (and work pal) Phil (Jeff Garlin) lose their jobs in product development at a large food company, and are forced to become stay-at-home dads. With no jobs in sight, they decide to set up a new day care facility from home, called "Daddy Day Care". When the parents have been persuaded to give the male day care runners a chance, it catches on, and the kids that turn up include Crispin (Shane Baumel),Becca (Hailey Noelle Johnson),and The Flash/Tony (Jimmy Bennett),oh, and Charlie's kid Ben (Khamani Griffin) joins in too. The only thing that could stop them continuing this success is the mean Chapman Academy director Miss Harridan (Anjelica Huston). There some good moments with the two dads playing with the kids and keeping them quiet in various ways, and Murphy makes a more fun dad than Steve Martin did, a good family film. Okay!
