(1 - 34) of 34 OFCS Rating: 35% Rotten Page   1   "Kudos to Eddie Murphy for adopting a more low-key approach in 'Daddy Day Care' and for letting his fine supporting cast get most of the laughs."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 1.5/4 "Daddy Day Care is a movie about preschoolers, for preschoolers, and probably made by preschoolers."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 2.5/4 "The most surprising thing about Daddy Day Care is how entertaining it is, despite the juvenile humor and laughably predictable storyline."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair "Lots of things happen in Daddy Day Care, but none of them are especially interesting. God knows they're not funny."   Portland Tribune   Dawn Taylor 2/4 "By the very nature that it is more appealing than a lobotomy, Daddy Day Care is a superior [Eddie] Murphy venture."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 2/4 "Seems to exist solely to sedate a theater-going public’s offspring. Don’t expect The Witches."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez C "Once it gets the bodily function jokes out of its system (sorry), it settles into being a fairly agreeable little movie."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B- "Isn't so much a case of a film exceeding my expectations as it is one that does not confirm my worst fears."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 1.5/4 "Daddy Day Care is a cinema-sized Romper Room reject looking to pine for its hollow hilarity by appealing to the non-judgmental and misplaced quirkiness of the targeted kid-friendly audience"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C "Efficient, if cloying, crowd-pleaser...it does manage to hit its target, even if it's aiming very low."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "Delivers many well-deserved satirical swipes at elitist day care operations that engineer small children for success in the competitive marketplace."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 1.5/4 "It takes a strong stomach to hold down what Daddy Day Care force-feeds its audience."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/5 "Eddie Murphy retread of Mr. Mom is surprisingly satisfying, and sweet without being sickly."   Netflix   James Rocchi 2/4 "The problems are firmly rooted in the moderately silly script, excessive potty humor, and a cringe-worthy climax that preaches the evils of neglecting your little ones."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 5/10 "Viewers with any sort of history of seeing movies will probably predict where this movie's headed long before it gets there."   Screen It!   Jim Judy "Parents forced to sit through "Daddy Day Care" will also laugh, but at the notion of having paid an adult admission for what is obviously a kid flick."   Light Views   John Larsen 3/5 "Someone needs a time-out to think about writing a better script."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel C+ "Supporting players save "Daddy's" day in this pleasant, fitfully amusing family comedy which entertains despite an inconsistent script (Geoff Rodkey) and insipid direction"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2/5 "The film seems longer than its 93-minute running time, but kids will probably enjoy its potty humor."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 1.5/4 "The movie is clearly aimed at kids, but is this really the kind of stuff we should be filling their brains with?"   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "Antisocial, semipsychotic toddlers treated as amusing? Check."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "To expect magnificence would have been futile; I was perfectly willing to settle for entertaining."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C+ "As bland and predicable as a package of Kraft macaroni and cheese, but likely to please the same target audience."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/5 "Talvez suas cenas funcionassem melhor caso fossem acompanhadas por uma trilha de risadas gravadas. Esta, aliás, seria a única forma de ouvirmos risos nos cinemas que exibirem este filme."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca B- "["Daddy Day Care"] is a straightforward, don’t-expect-any-surprises kind of pre-summer entertainment that has a good supporting cast, precocious kids and a premise that lends itself to slapstick comedy."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 1.5/5 "Congratulations Hollywood; you've completely disemboweled a truly funny man."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg 2.5/5 "Like the kids in the cast, Day Care is sporadically energetic and cute as a button, but in dire need of discipline."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell "Made with care and intelligence as well as a sense of fun."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 7/10 "Chock full of his "Dr. Doolittle" charm, Eddie Murphy's back with this fun-filled family entertainment. There's a delightfully paternal atmosphere despite the inevitable poop and potty jokes."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 0.5/4 "An anemic, flaccid little curiosity with nary a hint of life."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 5/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf Read review   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs Read review   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline Read review   BlackFilm.com   Wilson Morales  (1 - 34) of 34 OFCS Rating: 35% Rotten Page   1
