Daddy Day Care (Grade: B-)

Take the kids to see this one! They will enjoy it and so will you. Eddie Murphy shows his excellent timing for delivering jokes in a family movie.

The only drag in this film is the ending. Mrs. Harridan (Anjelica Huston) is a somewhat believable villian when the movie begins. As the movie progresses the corniness of Mrs. Harridan and her exploits loses touch with reality...but some of the antics will make the kids laugh.

The ending of the movie (including what becomes of Mrs. Harridan) is also kid-movie-corny, but it is not so much that it ruins the movie. The kids in the movie have some unique characteristics like loving to read, having a small problem with potty training and speaking in a language that few can understand. But the characters are all fun to watch.

Grade: B-
