Review of Daddy Day Care (2003) by Dave H — 12 Jul 2008
It's a movie that anyone could have starred in. The comedian looks trapped the entire time. All of the humor involves bodily functions and pratfalls that even newborn babies don't find amusing anymore.
Yet somehow the film grossed more than $100 million, proving yet again that you can't go broke appealing to the lowest common denominator. The movie was even popular enough to green light a sequel, which wasn't as successful.
In a strange turn of events, Murphy's role was recast in the second film with Cuba Gooding Jr. If that's what a Best Supporting Actor Oscar gets you, perhaps it's a good thing Murphy didn't win for "Dreamgirls" after all.
