Daddy Day Care
Eddie Murphy is an unemployed father who cannot afford to send his son to the only reputable day care in the city. What to do? Well, it's obvious isn't it? You open your own day care. Don't you have to be certified before you can open one of those? Well apparently not. Eddie Murphy runs one even through adversities to find the true meaning of Christmas...or parenting...what-ever.
Surprisingly this wasn't as bad a movie as I thought it would be. Then again I'm grading this in comparison of other Eddie Murphy movies, (not including Shrek and Shrek 2). Let it be known that I had no choice but to watch this movie; I was at a friend of the family's house and this is what they were watching. It could've been worse. I could've paid money to go see it.
It was entertaining if predicable. The bad guy (or woman in this case) was truly evil in this-is-a-movie-for-stupid-children evil. The children were funny and cute, and Eddie Murphy learns that spending time with his son is more important than working. Tell that to all the stay at home moms and dads that are only too glad to send their children to day care. Maybe they didn't get the memo.
Well, if you're stuck and have to watch it, then just do what I did: think about The Adventures of Pluto Nash (by the way, I have yet to be able to sit through more than five minutes of that) and you should be fine.
