	Daddy Day Care (2003) - A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		Daddy Day Care takes on the challenge with full force and what results is a movie that families will enjoy a great deal while watching together.
		Daddy Day Care is really a simple premise; two fathers with good paying jobs loose them.
		Daddy Day Care will educate parents on how to be better and more loving while at the same time, strengthen families all over the world.

	Daddy Day Care
		Daddy Day Care cannot really be considered a Murphy hit, since the enjoyable parts of the film are not due to him.
		Charlie and Phil apply their business acumen to their new day care business, but this means reading children a mission statement and holding focus groups.
		This example is what Daddy Day Care is guilty of on a larger scale, it is a little too eager to please, which makes some of the comedy come off as forced.

	Modamag.com \| Daddy Day Care (Movie Review)
		Recruiting his buddy (Jeff Garlin), and a former colleague (Steve Zahn) to help run the business, the team opens “Daddy Day Care,” and it soon becomes a smash hit, much to the chagrin of a local pre-school teacher (a slumming Angelica Huston) who is watching her students drop out for Charlie’s service by the dozens.
		Much like the two “Dolittle” films, “Day Care” is vanilla material, featuring an oddly contented Eddie Murphy, who at one point in his career had the most dangerous comedic vision of them all.
		All “Day Care” expects of Murphy is for him to watch kids be cute, and to have his two co-stars fall down a whole bunch, while Murphy reacts to it.

		Daddy Day Care is a nice family film that is entertaining to watch.
		At most times Daddy Day Care may just seem like a film with a bunch of screaming kids and nothing else which isn't true as there are many laughs to be found as well.
		Daddy Day Care is also a lot better then The Haunted Mansion.

		Besides, they have to compete with a rival day care centre operator (Anjelica Huston) who firmly believes children are miniature adults and have to be treated as such.
		Working on the premise that taking care of 10 kids can't be any more difficult than taking care of one or two, the men run into an awful lot of problems.
		Daddy Day Care is directed by Steve Carr, who had earlier joined hands with Murphy on Dr Dolittle 2.

	Daddy Day Care
		In the hilarious comedy Daddy Day Care, two fathers (Murphy, Jeff Garlin) lose their jobs in product development at a large food company and are forced to take their sons out of the exclusive Chapman Academy and become stay-at-home fathers.
		With no job possibilities on the horizon, the two dads open their own day care facility, "Daddy Day Care,” and employ some fairly unconventional and sidesplitting methods of caring for children.
		As "Daddy Day Care" starts to catch on, it launches them into a highly comedic rivalry with Chapman Academy's tough-as-nails director (Anjelica Huston)...who has driven all previous competitors out of business.

	Daddy Day Care **1/2 - CTF
		Directed by Steve Carr, who previously directed Eddie Murphy in "Dr. Dolittle 2" (2001), "Daddy Day Care" was a predictable but enjoyable family comedy whose "cuteness" and consistent humor almost made up for what the story lacked.
		Unemployed and running out of money, they decided to open up their own day care center, Daddy Day Care, and they soon found out that playing "mom" is harder than it looks.
		Instead, she was nothing more than a minor nuisance to the men of Daddy Day Care.

	Daddy Day Care
		Daddy Day Care is a guiltless, straightforward comedy bound to make any parent chuckle, a light and fluffy flick that nevertheless fails to take Murphy's comedic talent out of first gear.
		Daddy Day Care is one of those 'trailer' movies: All the good stuff, such as it is, is shown in the previews.
		Daddy Day Care may communicate with kids, too, but it should have spent a little more time communing with the comedy gods.

	Daddy Day Care Movie Review
		The fact that Murphy is no longer shouting expletives in every other line of dialogue, not to mention the fact that he is no longer bagging cruelly on women and homosexuals, is I guess one of the few signs of progress and maturity in American movies today.
		Daddy Day Care provides a perfect-world scenario that is appropriate for this time of year.
		Daddy Day Care is rated PG for slapstick violence.

	DADDY DAY CARE
		A little like a drowned earthworm, Daddy Day Care is less repulsive than pathetic, an anemic, flaccid little curiosity with nary hint of life nor much resemblance to what it was when it was alive--or maybe now I'm talking about its star, Eddie Murphy.
		Harridan (Anjelica Huston, her character's Dickensian name meaning a shrewish, desiccated old horse), the headmistress of a Dickensian (natch) day care centre who functions as the wholly unnecessary villain of the piece.
		Daddy Day Care is the kind of patronizing movie that doesn't think you'll notice that most of Ben's dialogue has been dubbed (or, for that matter, that the talking parrot doesn't move its beak) and that the only potentially funny moments have already been overexposed by the previews.

		For those keeping track of his career trajectory for the last ten years, you will already know that this does not mean the movie is particularly good or worthwhile, but that it is at least of tolerable mediocrity.
		Without any experience in caring for more than one child at a time, they at first believe they have gotten in way over their heads, and then start to enjoy themselves and get the hang of it.
		"Daddy Day Care" is one of his more respectable pictures of the last few years, but it is strictly of the cookie-cutter variety--unintelligent, inoffensive, and completely wasteful of Murphy's long-unchartered comic talents.

		Directed by Steve Carr, Daddy Day Care is a guiltless, straightforward comedy bound to make any parent chuckle, a light and fluffy flick that nevertheless fails to take Murphy's comedic talent out of first gear.
		But while Murphy does not deliver the more vulgar laughs moviegoers have come to expect of him, his character Charlie at least does not fall into the conventional stereotype of the diaper-phobic father; he may not be perfect, but he is an affectionate parent who is genuinely involved in his son's life.

		As they slowly get the hang of it, "Daddy Day Care" thrives and begins to siphon kids away from the stuffy Chapman school.
		DADDY DAYCARE is filled with larger-than-life performances that play as caricatures; the production designs are based on primary colors, the kid humor is rich with potty jokes, and the cast is largely charming children actors.
		While DADDY DAYCARE played well with the adults and the 5 to 11 age group, the film did not do so well with the 12 to 17 year-olds in the audience.
