Daddy Day Care does its job of babysitting the tots. Anyone older will probably be bored.

Murphy is so oddly bland in Daddy Day Care that it seems like he sleepwalked through the making of the film. May 9, 2003 | Rating: 1/4

Daddy Day Care doesn't rank with the most awful of the Murphy turkeys, but it's definitely flat as a pancake, fueled by bathroom humor, listless pratfalls and recycled, borderline-offensive jokes about the ineptitude of men as caretakers. May 9, 2003 | Rating: 2/4

[img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] Out of all the depressing, lowbrow, dark, idiotic, repugnant family movies Eddie Murphy has created and then cursed cinema with. This is just another one of them. It's a stupid, trashy however passable flick. I'm pretty sure I saw a glimmer of heart once or twice.

This can't be worse... right?!?! ... Oh wait!!!... they made a sequel?!?! Whole shit!!!!
Eddie Murphy is hilarious in this film!
Daddy day care is about 2 men 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 u should give this a try.
