Charlie (Eddie Murphy) and Kim Hinton (Regina King) bring Ben to try out for the expensive Chapman Academy. Kim is going back to work. Gwyneth Harridan (Anjelica Huston) is the head mistress. Jenny (Lacey Chabert) is one of the teachers. Charlie and co-worker Phil (Jeff Garlin) both get fired. Charlie pulls Ben out of Chapman. Charlie and Phil turn into Mr Moms. Charlie has an idea to start Daddy Day Care with Phil. As the guys get more successful, Harridan starts to notice and she takes on Daddy Day Care. When they get too many kids, they hire weirdo Marvin (Steve Zahn) who turns out to be good with kids.
Seeing Jeff Garlin and Eddie Murphy get hit again and again can be funny or repetitive. It's a bit of both in this case. Eddie Murphy is playing it more reserved than usual. Jeff Garlin is funny. The kids are all rambunctious and cute. Some will notice a young Elle Fanning. It's not terribly original copying quite a few jokes from Mr Mom. It has a couple of funny moments and a nice film overall.
