But when they realize they can't afford to keep their kids at the fancy Chapman Academy run by the evil Miss Harridan (The Addams Family's Anjelica Huston) Charlie and Phil become the proprietors of Daddy Day Care. Little do these two Mr. Moms realize that they have just begun their own adventures in babysitting!

Description of Daddy Day Care (Special Edition):
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 (Special Edition) 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.
