Rating: Summary: ENjoyable Review: Eddie was good as usual, the other fella was good, especially on the first day when he had them little kids singing all those songs(had me cracking up big time),but the one who stole the show was Eddie's little son. The way he woke up, ate and used the bathroom by himself, was too darn much He liked to stole the show. Seriously. Great movie.
Rating: Summary: Eddie Has Become An Unfunny Family Man Review: Memebers of my family were having a bad day and decided we needed a pick me up movie to try to brighten things up, so we picked up Eddie Murphy's Daddy Day Care, thinking a movie with one of the greatest standup comics of all time combined with kiddie hijinks might be our savior. How wrong I was.First, the movie is 90 minutes of non-stop non-laughs. Every cliche (the missing Tarantula which ends up crawling on Jeff Garlin's head, Anjelica Huston's evil dictator role at the rival day care center) has been done before and been done better. The kids aren't likeable either, except for the young man who plays Eddie's son, who's only likeable because he hardly talks. I'm not kidding, not one of the four of us watching the movie laughed once during the entire viewing, and we did get through it, although there was talk of shutting it off. Someone I know says that Eddie went from the edgy characters such as Axel Foley and Reggie Hammond to these cream-puff roles because he wanted movies his own kids could watch. But I think if the Murphy children had their choice, they'd pick "48 Hours" over "Daddy Day Care".
Rating: Summary: Very Funny Review: This movie was laugh-out-loud funny. For those of you that loved the 'F' word Eddie--rent some of his old stuff. Eddie the family guy is the version I love.
Rating: Summary: Side-splitting family fare Review: Murphy is hilarious, Garlin is the perfect sidekick, the kids are great and this movie is perfect for Moms, Dads and kids, with observational humor for adults and potty humor for all. Got it for Xmas. My wife also gave me a book that's kinda like a real-life Daddy Day Care--"I SLEEP AT RED LIGHTS: A True Story of Life After Triplets," by Bruce Stockler. Hilarious! True story of a guy who loses his job and stays home with the kids--classic chapter on taking 4 kids to the potty in a shopping mall.
Rating: Summary: Great Kid Movie!! Review: We bought this movie for our children. My husband and I figured it would be another 'Home Alone' type movie that my children would love to watch. I hadn't heard a lot about this movie and we more than anything just wanted to get it for the kids. I didn't think it would be that entertaining, so imagine my surprise when my husband and I found ourselves laughing out loud! Sometimes we couldn't breathe, it was that funny! We have since made this movie our 'Perfect Family Gift' for families that have younger kids ages 3-11. I would recommend this for any family that loves to laugh!!
Rating: Summary: What Happened to Eddie? Review: I have always loved Eddie Murphy from Trading Places to Beverley Hills Cop and Coming to America. It was all good but these movies that Eddie has been making lately have been complete flops Dr. Dolittle was livable same with Dr. Dolittle 2 but then in movies such as Daddy Day Care and The Haunted Mansion he seems to have lost the umph that his movies used to have. The story is that two guys lose their jobs and in order to make money someone gives them the idea to open a day care and what else would happen but mayhem insuing and all sorts of childish humor being played upon. I would recommend this to young children ages 4 to 10 if you are any older than that then the humor will make you ill it is that bad. I hope that this review has helped you make the decision in whether or not you watch this movie!
Rating: Summary: cute, but not cute enough Review: I was really disappointed by this movie. I heard good reviews but this movie turned out to be a set of cliches. If you have very cute children in the movie it doesn't make a successful comedy. There are a few funny moments (when the movie goes away from the stereotype) but otherwise I felt sorry for Eddie Murphy: there was no enough good material for this great performer. Yes, it is a family comedy, where both adults and children can watch it together, just not a very good one.
Rating: Summary: Funny!!!! Review: I rented this at the store, when I watched it, I laughed, I cryed.One of murphy's best films since Nutty Proffesor.This film is worht watching if u like comedy.
Rating: Summary: What a surprise Review: I give this movie 5 stars because the plot was unique and and I could watch it with my seven year old. Surprisingly there were no bad words in this movie. I would recommended it for family viewing.
Rating: Summary: I liked it.... Review: I really enjoyed Daddy Day Care. Sure, its not rocket science, but the movie was amusing, and the acting funny enough for me to enjoy listening to it all the way through. Eddie Murphy stars as a jobless advertising exec, who decides to go into the daycare business with his ex-partner. Typical male-as-clueless-childcare-provider-jokes ensue. Eddie was funny, and his clueless partners (especially the geeky character of Marvin) were excellent. I LOVED the Star Trek jokes. While there was a bit of sophomoric (potty) humor, this was thankfully kept to a minimum, and didn't detract too much from the overall work. This is a light-hearted family film, sure to please both kids and adults.
