Editorial Review:
There are some good laughs to be found in Daddy Day Care, especially if you're a preschooler with energy to burn. This romper-room comedy shamelessly exploits its high concept idea--dropping Eddie Murphy into a seething den of rugrats--but kids will have plenty of vicarious fun as Murphy and his fellow laid-off colleague (Jeff Garlin) battle unemployment by opening a day-care center in Eddie's home. In partial Witches mode, Anjelica Huston hams it up as a day-care competitor bent on closing Eddie down, while doofus extraordinaire Steve Zahn is recruited as a third partner in "Daddy Day Care," trying his best to entertain a pack of hyperactive kids who've stopped taking their Ritalin. Zahn makes a funny Star Trek fan (even when the script contains bogus Trekkie trivia), and Murphy deserves credit for giving his all in a comedy that mostly squanders his talent. Indeed, is Daddy Day Care a comedy or every parent's nightmare? Daring viewers can decide for themselves. --Jeff Shannon
Daddy Day Care [Region 2] Reviews:
Good clean fun 
2008-09-07 - This was a great family film. Good slapstick, geik, and family humor. I haven't laughed this hard at good clean fun in a long time. Eddie Murphy and crew successfully make a film with a scenario that might seem overdone, but this was by far the funniest effort I've seen yet.
Finally. a successful Murphy movie! 
2008-09-01 - Firstly, I kinda have to take that back. Eddie Murphy was real good in `I Spy,' which is unfairly overlooked. But with the likes of `Showtime' and `Pluto Nash,' I was totally thinking about whether or not I like this guys after all. But he is great in this film. Eddie Murphy finds that looking after your kid is way cheaper than putting him in a day care centre, and he and his friend hold a little day care centre of their own. There are some hilariously funny moments, but you'll have to be there to get it. I would recommend this movie to everybody, as it is just such a pleasing movie anybody would like it.
daddy day care review 
2008-08-07 - This movie was in good condition and plays well. The status of it's condition was true and shipping was timely. I am very satisfied and will likely order from this contact again.
Hilarious family film! 
2008-06-19 - Eddie Murphy stars in this comedy about a guy who starts a babysitting center at his house. As you can already tell by the front DVD cover, things get pretty crazy! Lets just say--some kids get a little "naughty"!
I loved this film! It's full of many laughs and it has a good plot to it. And it's only rated PG! There's hardly any language to it, and there's no bad scenes. That makes this movie a great one to watch with the whole family! Whether you're an Eddie Murphy fan or not-you should get this movie!
Adorable Family Movie 
2008-06-11 - I hadn't expected a whole lot from this movie but Daddy Daycare turned out to be a real treat.
I knew the premise that Eddie Murphy loses his job and needing employment and affordable daycare for his own son decides to incorporate the two and open his own daycare. What I wasn't expecting was the sweetness, warmth and charm of this movie.
I really enjoyed Daddy Daycare. The storyline had depth and the actors did a really good job, especially Eddie Murphy and Steve Zahn. The kids were absolutely adorable.
A fun and touching movie for the whole family.
