Review of Daddy Day Care (2003)

By Elvis Mitchell (489) for New York Times (5,786) on 08 May 2003

The most astonishing thing about Daddy Day Care, a comedy that would have to work harder even to justify the appellation uninspired, is that…

Review of Daddy Day Care (2003)

By Terry Lawson (645) for Detroit Free Press (942) on 08 May 2003

The humor is strictly potty-level, with its biggest laughs reserved for pee-pee gags and the inevitable gas-passing…

Review of Daddy Day Care (2003)

By Sean O'connell (919) for Filmcritic.com (3,164) on 08 May 2003

Review of Daddy Day Care (2003)

By Frederic And Mary Ann Brussat (3,072) for Spirituality and Practice (3,072) on 08 May 2003

Review of Daddy Day Care (2003)

By Nell Minow (2,357) for Movie Mom (753) on 07 May 2003

Review of Daddy Day Care (2003)

By John Venable (339) for Supercala.com (431) on 07 May 2003

While much of the film's formula is tired, it's tolerable. Steve Zahn's character is well written and his performance is what makes this one decent…

Review of Daddy Day Care (2003)

By Michael Szymanski (206) for Zap2it.com (379) on 07 May 2003

Even before the credits are complete, even before the first word of dialogue is spoken, even before you know what the plot set-up is all about,…

Review of Daddy Day Care (2003)

By Philip Wuntch (283) for Dallas Morning News (1,592) on 07 May 2003

By Walter Chaw (1,360) for Film Freak Central (1,643) on 07 May 2003

An anemic, flaccid little curiosity with nary a hint of life…

Review of Daddy Day Care (2003)

By Tor Thorsen (115) for Reel.com (1,232) on 07 May 2003

Though not nearly as noxious as the trailers would have you believe, Daddy still uses the same tired formula employed by The Kid and Kindergarten Cop…

By Rob Blackwelder (857) for SPLICEDWire (872) on 06 May 2003

Falters is in a few awkwardly mechanical, our-script's-too-short contrivances...but still entirely enjoyable as Saturday matinee family fare…
