Daddy Day Care is a 2003 American comedy film, directed by Steve Carr and starring Eddie Murphy.The plot follows Charlie Hinton (Murphy), a busy working father and his wife, Kim (Regina King) has just gone back to work as a lawyer. They enroll their son, Ben, in the Chapman Academy, an expensive and very academic-focused preschool, headed by Mrs. Harridan (Anjelica Huston). Soon after, Charlie is laid off. In need of money, he and Kim must pull Ben out of Chapman as the cost is far too high, but they cannot find a suitable alternative. Charlie decides to open up a day care center, "Daddy Day Care" with the help of his best friend Phil Ryerson (Jeff Garlin), who was also laid off.At first the local moms are suspicious of men wanting to work with children (mainly because they assume they're homosexuals, pedophiles, or just plain incompetent). But as "Daddy Day Care" is cheaper and more child-centered than the Academy, the latter begins to lose popularity. Mrs. Harridan attempts to shut down Daddy Day Care by notifying Child Services that that Charlie and Phil are not following the regulations. The two now have to work tooth-and-nail to keep the place under regulation or their day care is shut down.Has two loosely-associated sequels, Daddy Day Camp and Grand-Daddy Day Care. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Daddy Day Care / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: During Daddy Day Care's first lunch time, the children are served sweets and junkfood. Charlie is rightly worried about how feeding them like this will lead to. Unfazed, Phil unworriedly wonders "Like what?" Cut a Jump Cut to the children answering his question by going on a sugar high, running around the household and getting into as much mischief as humanly possible. | |

| Daddy Day Care / int_1888979e | comment |
Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: At first, Ms. Harridan seems like an overly strict and snobby preschool teacher, though sincere in her (rather extreme) belief that children should receive a thorough education and head start on life. As the film goes on, it becomes clear that she's really just a greedy Control Freak determined to wipe out the competition so local parents have no choice but to send their kids to her obscenely expensive school. | |

Punch-Clock Villain | |

Punch-Clock Villain: Implied with Jenny, she follows Miss Harridan’s orders without question even though she is treated as nothing more then a lackey. However she makes it clear that she finds working at Daddy Day Care enjoyable after Miss Harridan gets shut down, and she takes a job there, with no remorse towards jumping ship. Mr. Kubitz too (see Reasonable Authority Figure). He's not even all that villainous because he makes it clear he's only doing his job and supports Daddy Day Care, and doesn't even want to shut it down even if he has to. | |

Analogy Backfire | |
| Daddy Day Care / int_2b5ab7c1 | comment |
Analogy Backfire: Whenever she gives the orientation for Chapman Academy, Miss Harridan gives an analogy that the students are like a vine that, with hard work and supervision, can climb higher and higher to its full potential. The second time Charlie hears this speech, he calls out "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard." While it may sound good on paper, he tells the other parents Miss Harridan is basically makes it sound like their kids are plants for her to prune and weed, rather than actual children to raise and nurture. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Daddy Day Care / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Chapman Academy; they are very focused at providing good education towards children, going as far as to teach them different languages, marital arts, and even SAT prep. But they (i.e., Miss Harridan) are elitist and condescending towards children, unwilling to deal with or help improve some children's problem behaviors, and the whole tuition is ridiculously expensive. It's no wonder that by the end of the film, every adult with children has enrolled their child at Daddy Day Care, Jenny (Miss Harrigan's mistreated assistant) started happily working for them, and Harridan has lost her job as headmistress, being reduced to working as a crossing guard. | |

Jerkass Has a Point: At first, Ms. Harridan does have a point that Charlie and Phil are inexperienced and unqualified to take care of other people's children, though she's overly rude and snobby about it. However, she loses her one leg to stand on as they actively try to improve and she goes out of her way to sabotage them. Charlie even says that the one thing she was right about was them not providing education for the kids, prompting him and Phil to organize themselves and take care of the kid's behaviors and teach them life skills (potty training, not hitting people, and learning to make friends). | |

Potty Failure | |
| Daddy Day Care / int_7cd98af5 | comment |
Potty Failure: Played with. Max consistently makes it to the bathroom on time, but he can't aim. However, the Daddy Day Care staff is eventually able to potty train him. The reason this problem came to be is because Phil had no Earthly idea how to potty-train Max prior to Daddy Day Care, and was too cowardly to do so ever since a rather disastrous and truly embarrassing bathroom incident with a baby Max. Phil tried to tell his lover at the time he simply couldn't do it, but she insisted Phil change Max's diaper. | |

Both Sides Have a Point: After their first disastrous day running Daddy Day Care, each daddy takes a jab at the other's parenting skills. Charlie calls out Phil on being too scared of potty-training his own son that he's allowed Max to think the whole purpose is to aim. On the other hand, Phil points out Charlie is no better, neglecting that Ben wants more out of his father than "rocket ship", which even he can see he doesn't enjoy as much as Charlie thinks. | |

Nothing Is Scarier: Played for Laughs, but effectively this: Whatever Charlie and Kim saw in the cellar in one of the alleged "daycare" places they check out for Ben at first. It is obvious from their look it is no place for children, let alone their son. Exactly how much Max messed up the bathroom when he said he "missed". Charlie's reaction (which travels all the way to the ceiling) tells you all you need to know (complete with "Psycho" Strings). | |

Scary Stinging Swarm: Phil poking the hornet's nest with a broomstick goes right into Too Dumb to Live territory... with hilarious results for the onscreen kids watching safely indoors. Then the ending scene has Miss Harridan, reduced to being a traffic guard, being attacked by bees because of a flower Crispin placed on her vest. | |

Terrible Interviewees Montage | |
| Daddy Day Care / int_f75cf3bd | comment |
Terrible Interviewees Montage: More like a terrible touring montage, but while trying to find a day-care center for Charlie's son, he and his wife go through this. Chapman Academy ends up looking like the best option, despite its overly-formal setting and outrageous prices. The first one they check out after they pull Ben out of Chapman due to the tuition price is in a trailer park... The next place on their list is a farmhouse owned by an old couple. The third and final stop on their tour is a seemingly normal house... | |
