38Mediocre.
-
38Though topnotch actors often can elevate mediocre material, they need a topnotch director to help them do it. Steve Carr ("Dr. Dolittle 2") is not that director.
-
38This is one of those nearly unwatchable movies that becomes an endurance contest for any thinking adult.
-
25Murphy looks comatose delivering the played-out poopy jokes.
-
25Aggressively 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.
-
25You 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.
-
30The film seems longer than its 93-minute running time, but kids will probably enjoy its potty humor, many scenes of 4-year-olds getting the better of harried adults and the inevitable moment when a cute little girl kicks the fat guy in the nads.
-
30Across-the-board, the kids are extremely adorable to watch (not an easy thing to pull off) and will appeal to the other kids in the audience who might identify with them and see the story from the kids’ point of view. But looking at this film from any other perspective, will give you brain rot.
-
25A 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.
-
20You can't get more high-concept, or less plotted, than this, and Daddy Day Care is proof.
-
10I laughed a couple of times, but mostly I was bored out of my mind and not a little depressed.

A fart filled farce bereft of the least amount of imagination.
