Critic Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle | C.W. Nevius

A harmless and amusing summer comedy.

Washington Post | Stephen Hunter

If you attend the movie with your expectations lowered by Murphy's recent films, you'll be reasonably amused.

Boston Globe | Wesley Morris

The Daddy Day Care business model appears to be the 1983 Michael Keaton vehicle ''Mr. Mom,'' put on an unstoppable sugar high.

Washington Post | Desson Thomson

An easy-on-the-sensibilities family film, Eddie Murphy practically assumes the easygoing manner of Mister Rogers, a character he used to wickedly lampoon on "Saturday Night Live."

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Nathan Rabin

A big-screen sitcom so sleepy and juvenile it might as well come with its own nap break.

Variety | Todd McCarthy

Scarcely more amusing than spending 90 minutes in a pre-K classroom.

ReelViews | James Berardinelli

This is one of those nearly unwatchable movies that becomes an endurance contest for any thinking adult.

Rolling Stone | Peter Travers

Murphy looks comatose delivering the played-out poopy jokes.

Entertainment Weekly | Lisa Schwarzbaum

A parent-and-kid-oriented comedy about the adventures of men doing the hard work of mommies, which couldn't be more timely -- or less delightful.

USA Today | Claudia Puig

You know something is wrong when a preschooler's unwitting ad-libs are funnier than anything seasoned comedy writers can come up with. Kids say the darnedest things. Too bad the grown-ups don't.

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger Ebert

Aggressively simple-minded, it's fueled by the delusion that it has a brilliant premise: Eddie Murphy plus cute kids equals success. But a premise should be the starting point for a screenplay, not its finish line.

The New York Times | Elvis Mitchell

You can't get more high-concept, or less plotted, than this, and Daddy Day Care is proof.

Los Angeles Times | Manohla Dargis

I laughed a couple of times, but mostly I was bored out of my mind and not a little depressed.

LOVED IT!!!

"I saw it opening night and can't wait to see it again. The covers were great...one or two not so good but I'll let you make your own judgement. If you enjoy Beatles music then go. Most of those newspaper critics are super snobs...pay no mind to their reviews. Ebert gave it 100 and he is the coolest!!!!! I just purchased the soundtrack."

NAM'S: Eddie Who?

"Eddie...are you reading the scripts they give you before accepting the offer? Sure doesn't seem like it. I have no suggestions for Eddie. Adults, stay away from this movie...has annoying written all over it. I'm sure kids will love it...because of the annoyance, they could relate. - Jim Nam contact: Jimnam@gmail.com"
