Summary: Fun for the whole family
Review: We first went and saw Daddy Day Care at the theater and really enjoyed it. My mother in law bought it for our family for Christmas and we have watched it 3 times since, and I laugh more and more each time. Eddie Murphy is truly a genius. I enjoyed his hard core stand up comedy, his Beverly Hills Cop movies, Coming to America, etc. and now am enjoying watching him in family movies like the Dr. Dolittles and Daddy Day Care. It is good clean fun our family can enjoy together, and that is rare nowadays. The little boy who plays Murphy's son is absolutely precious, and the casting for everyone was perfect, from Murphy's wife to his day care business partners. I have read reviews where people thought the movie was juvenile. Well, it is about children, so I don't know what the expectation was. Anyone who has spent time with little kids, or has kids of their own will definitely appreciate this hysterically funny film. The special features are fun too. There are interviews with the kids, and the kids do some interviewing too. Great music also!

Summary: Funny and cute
Review: I was kind of leery about this movie. I really couldn't see Eddie Murphy in this role. Thus I waited until it came out on DVD until I saw it. I ended it up buying it, because it's a really warm and funny movie. I believe it needed Eddie Murphy's star power. If not, would we really watch it? The kid that plays Eddie's son is like oozingly cute. He's almost too cute. Eddie did his best to pull this role off. There are some flaws, but all in all this is a pretty funny movie. Knowing people who have kids, I know that day cares can get pretty out of hand if you don't know what you are doing. It was funny to see the evolution of Daddy Daycare as Eddie and his buddy (Jeff Garlin) try to bounce back from unemployment. There are plenty of laughs to go around as they try to tame this wild bunch of children and make their time at the day care meaningful. Their experiences along the way will keep you laughing. They also have to fight off an evil competitor (Anjelica Huston) who tries to sabotage their business. She runs a more stringent and structured day care. It's almost like a military for young children. As I said before, this movie does have some flaws. Overall, I give it a B- because it's still enjoyable to watch.

Summary: First Class family entertainment
Review: See this with the whole family. Cute, funny, well-made tale is really an adult movie, though it was marketed as a kids movie. You really care about these characters, and desparately want everything to turn out well for them. A pleasant surprise. Best fun Eddie Murphy movie since Dr Dolittle.

Summary: Funny Movie for the Entire Family
Review: Eddie Murphy returns to the screen with this hysterical comedy about Daddys running a day care center, after being layed off from their corporate jobs. Steve Zahn and Jeff Garlin are incredibly funny as Murphy's side-kicks who help him run the day care center. And Anjelica Houston is perfect as the mean school headmistress. Kids will enjoy this movie, there is plenty in it to entertain them - the scenes with the brocolli and carrot costumes are comedically perfect. A great fun movie for the entire family - lots of laughs - with a touching family message.

Summary: Better than expected
Review: I rented this movie for my pre-teen stepdaughters and was kind of bummed that I was going to have to sit through the whole thing because I thought it looked stupid. I don't know about you, but I've gotten kind of sick of seeing Eddie Murphy playing the same character over and over again... But, I was pleasantly surprised when even a half hour into the movie, I was laughing and no longer dreading the rest. Eddie Murphy is funny and, although it is a regular old comedy, his acting has somehow improved. The boy that plays Murphy's son is hilarious! Some kind of comical-kid-genius. The story is about 2 guys who lose their jobs in advertising, and a friend, who start a day care out of their homes (well, actually just Eddie Murphy's home) The kids will love the silliness and the jokes of the other kids, and the adults will like the heartwarming story about a father finally getting to know his son and the funny jokes. I recommend watching it with the whole family!

Summary: this movie stinks
Review: This movie is full of non-stop laughs. Its great family fun. Just kidding. This movie has no laughs at all. The only funny things were when Eddie Murphy's kid bumped his head on that door and what Dylans face looked like after he got that dollar. DONT WASTE YO MONEY ON THIS MOVIE. Wait till it comes out on cable. Then if you like this movie you can record it.

Summary: Kids Are Prescious Tresures, Even More So in This Film ...
Review: If you like watching kids running wilding in your room or playing footbal in your yard, then you will love "Daddy Day Care." This is not to imply any sarcasm. The kids are in fact the most precious existence in this film, but is this not supposed to be an Eddie Murphy film, is it? Like his previous "Pluto Nash" disaster, Eddie is the least funny presence in this so-so comedy. He is Charlie Hinton, who recently lost his job. With his pal Jeff Garlin, he accidentally starts a day care center for kids, including his own named Ben. His "Daddy Day Care" center gets popular among the town, but the owner of posh preschool Chapman Academy, villainess Anjelica Huston (who hams it up like in "The Addams Family"), doesn't want them to be successful, and makes her sabotage plans. The film never avoids clithed moments, but that is not a big problem. Director Steve Carr (previously working with Eddie in "Dr. Dolittle 2") follows the formalua of family picture, and as this is a family picture, you don't need anything that might possibly offend adults or scare kids. You should know that rule. But it is Eddie Murphy's film, and the problem is, anyone can play Charlie's role. "Nutty Professor" clearly succeded owing to Eddie's tour-de-force performance, but no such magic here. In other words, why Eddie? Having said that, I admit the film has good moments as some of the supports are wonderful. One of them is underrated Steve Zahn, whose acting is funny enough to raise the film several notches higher even without now-clithed "Star Trek"-related gags. But the most wonderful are the kids; you might say your own kids are as cute as they are, and, right, but you cannot deny the charms of these fourteen kids. My three stars go to them. See the cameo of rock band Cheap Trick as themselves. Also see the cute little girl Jamie (with a cell phone) played by Elle Fanning, younger sister of Dakota.

Review: I have to admit dat Eddie Murphy has had some stinkers before but dis movie takes da cake. Da only thing that made this movie worth seeing was Eddie Murphy's kid. Other than dat dis movie was crap man. Its full of cheap laughs. Except u aint even laughen. Ur more like crying. Eddie Murphy used to be like my idle. But like now hes like not havin good movies. I dont think dat u should consider watchin dis movie.Wait til its on tv. And if u like it then u can record it. I think dat instead of buyin dis movie u should buy Happy Gilmore or Billy Madison.

Summary: The challenges of having children
Review: Daddy Daycare starring Eddie Murphy and Jeff Garlin is a hoot. This movie is one that shows typical fatherhood. In most homes the mother stays home and the father works but Eddie Murphy shows that men are able to play the role of stay at home dad. The kids are wonderful and portray your typical preschooler and what runs through their heads. Out of all of the movies that Eddie Murphy has made this is one of the more enjoyable ones that even my kids can sit down and watch with me. It is clean humor that touches on the reality of parenthood and the everyday challenges that accompany it. I would recommend this movies to any family that just wants to have some fun family time together and enjoys to laugh with one another.
