Daddy Day Care

Two Mr. Moms get up to their Adam’s apples with pint-sized home-wreckers in this calculated comedy by director Steve Carr. Funny man Eddie Murphy co-stars with his partner in day-care crime (Jeff Garlin) as down-on-their-luck dads that recently got laid off after failing to sell vegetable-flavored cereal while dressed as rapping and break-dancing broccoli. Now the former papas of produce need some quick cash to support their all-American families in their white-picket fenced-in homes and think that taking care of tykes is the easiest way to do so. This becomes far from easy when the menacing midgets drive lawn mowers in the backyard and drink bubble-making liquid, and the jealous Nurse Ratchet from the Harvard of day cares uses her every evil ploy to sabotage her competition. Writer Geoff Rodkey includes every ingredient for a successful crowd pleaser with the right amount of flatulence, toilet humor and Eddie Murphy slapstick the under four-footers will enjoy.
