It's one of the worst movies of the year.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

Murphy is so oddly bland in Daddy Day Care that it seems like he sleepwalked through the making of the film.
Claudia Puig, USA Today
Rotten
Tepid attempt at comedy.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Rotten
Daddy Day Care doesn't rank with the most awful of the Murphy turkeys, but it's definitely flat as a pancake, fueled by bathroom humor, listless pratfalls and recycled, borderline-offensive jokes about the ineptitude of men as caretakers.
Mary Brennan, Seattle Times
