Daddy Day Care Ratings & Reviews

Mrs said she hadn’t seen this in a while and said it still holds up. Pushes the dads don’t do enough and mums do everything narrative, dads do better!

Fun family movie

The tagline is funnier than the movie
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Eddie Murphy in slapstick potty humor comedy.
Village Voice
Ed Park
[Murphy's] charming enough in this restrained mode.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
It's one of the worst movies of the year.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
It's a concept more than a movie, and its jokes and sight gags seem mostly improvised or dashed off.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
Your kids will like it, and you will too.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Murphy is so oddly bland in Daddy Day Care that it seems like he sleepwalked through the making of the film.
Seattle Times
Mary Brennan
Daddy Day Care doesn't rank with the most awful of the Murphy turkeys, but it's definitely flat as a pancake, fueled by bathroom humor, listless pratfalls and recycled, borderline-offensive jokes about the ineptitude of men as caretakers.
San Francisco Chronicle
C.W. Nevius
A harmless and amusing summer comedy.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Murphy looks comatose delivering the played-out poopy jokes.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
I don't know whether [Murphy] has lost his mojo, or just his edge. I just hope he finds it before his next movie.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
It's pitched at kids, but adults will be guffawing too.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
Eddie Murphy hasn't made a good movie in so long, I'm starting to think his bad choices are deliberate.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Family films we need. Films like this, we never need.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
A scentless bouquet of potty jokes, crotch kicks, and Scooter-P.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Easy-on-the -sensibilities family film.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
The humor is strictly potty-level, with its biggest laughs reserved for pee-pee gags and the inevitable gas-passing.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A film so wrong-headed audiences will be more appalled than amused.
