Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Steve Pulaski Eddie Murphy, Jeff Garlin, and Steve Zahn are actors I only tire of when I see them in atrociously hackneyed material like this. Murphy has an incredible talent for outrageous and vulgar comedies, where his contortionist facial expressions and loquaciousness can sustain an entire movie experience, Garlin is an expert at deadpan humor, which he learned from years of working on Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Zahn can take most any role, even the role of an everyman, and put a fun, creative twist on the character.One can not fault them for Daddy Day Care's failure. It arrives to the viewer like a job applicant arrives to an interview on the worst day of his life. His tie isn't put on correctly, his hair a mess, his voice wheezy and unsophisticated, his clothes not ironed and wrinkled, and his desperation soaring to new heights. On most everything this film tries to accomplish, it's late, meaningless, and flyweight.The story concerns Eddie Murphy's Charlie, a middle-class man working as a product-promoter, I guess you'd say, and has a wife who has just gone back to work as a lawyer after the birth of their son. When Charlie and his co-worker Phil (Jeff Garlin) are laid off and Charlie and his wife can no longer pay the bills for their son, who attends a prestigious preschool, they contemplate ways to earn money and discover that they could open a day care center, boasting the idea that men can do anything women can do and calling it, "Daddy Day Care." Of course, this will brew such inspired setups like a "burp off" between the band of dysfunctional rugrats, ridiculously over-exaggerated sugar rushes, mindless chatter, recklessness, farting, male incompetence, adults acting like kids, kids acting like intolerable deviants, and so on. Miss Harridan, a teacher of the prestigious preschool, played by the only one who seems to be caring how the picture turns out, Anjelica Huston, notices the men and their newfound success and tries to run them off the map by alerting the village of rules they have broken, abrupt hazards, etc. Frustrated, without options, and overwhelmed with children, they eventually call in the incompetent and socially-awkward Marvin, played by Steve Zahn, who just further adds complete idiocy to the film and its line of events, along with breeding an emotionally vacuous love story.After a good hour of child recklessness and anarchy, the film tries to add a touching, remorseful moral about family, the importance of having fun, while learning, and so on and so forth. This would be welcomed if the film didn't intentionally rely on its silliness and ineptitude to drive itself into a contrived conclusion covered in banality. I'll reiterate by saying I'm a huge fan of Eddie Murphy and his schtick, but Daddy Day Care challenges just are far I'll go to show my support and devotion.Starring: Eddie Murphy, Jeff Garlin, Steve Zahn, and Angelica Houston. Directed by: Steve Carr.

g-bodyl Daddy Day Care is a better-than-expected film. Critics like Ebert disliked this film as well as the viewers. I saw this movie because I was bored and had nothing else to to do. Eddie Murphy plays a father who just got fired from his job and starts a daycare center with the help of his friend. I actually had a pretty good time watching this film. There were plenty of fine performances by the kids who attended the daycare. Other noticeable actors were Jeff Garlin and Steve Zahn. Zahn was funny as the sci-fi geek and Garlin was great as the the friend of Eddie Murphy. The only thing wrong with this film is that this film is not original. These kind of films are in Hollywood all the time now. Also a few more jokes would not hurt. Overall this film is good. I rate this film a 7/10.

Ref 65 This has to be one of the one of the worst comedies to walk on the face of the Earth,the acting is dreadful,the plot sucked and Eddie Murphy put on a bad performance.I've seen Eddie Murphy in the Shrek movies and he put on great performances.It's about to lads who call themselves losers and put up a daddy day care center and they soon find out that they can't control the kids and an inspector comes and says they need more staff or else he will shut daddy day care down but fear not...the two boneheads have a plan that doesn't seem to work and daddy day care gets shut down.The only way to reopen it is to find a bigger place,more staff and try to get the kids back from some school for kids aged 2-4 or something like that.This movie is a real joke that can't make you laugh instead it makes you sleepy.The story isn't that bad but nothing is funny except the part when a kid comes out of the bathroom and says "I missed"and Eddie Murphy looks in the bathroom and the music from "Psycho" comes on.Eddie Murphy fans will be extremely disappointed with this movie but I kind of doubt they will like it but its your choice to watch it.This really is a really bad movie and that includes Eddie Murphy's performance.I would only watch this again if I have to pick a choice between "The Pink Panther" or this,I would watch this movie again This is a movie that should be avoided at all costs and don't say that I didn't warn you if you're disappointed.What a waste of time and film.

virlyn2 Except for his role in Beverly Hills Cop, I think Eddy Murphy is a bad actor. And once again he confirmed my thoughts on him playing Charlie Hinton in this herendous euh thing. The first 20 minutes are unbelievably boring, as you already know from the start he's going to get fired and start a day care with his idiotic friend. But no, first you get to know the characters and what they stand for. After 20 minutes of lame conversations you finally understand how a nice guy Charlie and how cute his fat friend is. They are those typical cliché family guys who do stupid things once in a while but who you can always count on . Thanks for the introduction.The only reason you keep on watching is the hope that there will be some funny action going on after they started their day care. But no, nothing happens. Just a bunch of kids running around screaming and shouting, chased by our two charming protagonists. No, a guy getting kicked in the nuts and completely overacting is not funny. No, two guys disguised as a carot and a brocoli is not funny. No, one of the guys paying a kid to get in the house is not funny.And what about the evil kid? what was that? and the kid in his flash costume suddenly running extremely fast? was that supposed to be funny? but lets cut to the chase, this movie is so fking bad, its awful. There's just nothing funny about it, nothing nothing nothing. I would never show this piece of dog turd to my children. This is not a nice-time-with-the-family-on-a-cozy-Saturday-evening-film. It makes your Saturday evening boring.I'm sorry Eddy, but you suck, along with this tremendously lousy everything-but-a comedy movie
