-Eddie
Murphy
-Regina
King
Advertising
executive
Charlie
Hinton
(Eddie
Murphy)
leads
an
idyllic
suburban
life
with
his
wife,
Kim
(Regina
King),
and
adorable
4-year-old
son,
Ben
(Khamani
Griffin).
But
when
Charlie
and
his
buddy,
Phil
(Jeff
Garlin)
are
let
go
from
their
jobs
and
can
no
longer
afford
to
send
their
offspring
to
ritzy
Chapman
Academy
Preschool,
they
decide
to
start
their
own
day
care
center
out
of
Charlie's
house.
Things
get
off
to a
rocky
start,
but
pick
up
when
word
gets
out
about
the
affordable
rates
they
offer.
Their
sci-fi
geek
pal
Marvin
(Steve
Zahn)
jumps
on
board
to
help
entertain
the
tots.
But
competitive
Chapman
headmistress
Miss
Harridan
(Anjelica
Huston)
and
a
by-the-books
child
services
inspector
(Jonathan
Katz)
make
sure
that
Charlie
and
Phil
encounter
plenty
of
hurdles.
Continuing
the
family-friendly
winning
streak
that
Murphy
began
with
the
NUTTY
PROFESSOR
and
DR.
DOOLITTLE
films,
DADDY
DAY
CARE
is
yet
another
light
comedy
for
children
and
parents
alike.
Quaintly
peppered
with
potty
and
breast
jokes--but
with
no
offensive
language--the
film
allows
Murphy's
appealing
soft
side
to
show
once
again,
and
his
interaction
with
his
young
costars
is
never
less
than
winning.
A
handful
of
fellow
Saturday
Night
Live
alumni
show
up
to
help
(Kevin
Nealon,
Laura
Kightlinger,
Siobhan
Fallon),
and
the
always-strong
Steve
Zahn
delivers
several
of
the
film's
best
moments.
