The dads are
in charge. And the kids are all right.
Charlie and Phil are so consumed by their high profile advertising
jobs that they are completely missing out on the joys of fatherhood.
In the wonderful new family comedy Daddy Day Care, however, their
kids provide them with a crash course in child rearing, with uproarious
and heartwarming results.
After failing to excite the public about vegetable cereal, Charlie
and Phil are fired from their ad jobs. That means no more expensive
day care for their sons at the exclusive Chapman Academy, run by the
harsh taskmistress Miss Gwyneth Harridan.
While floundering aimlessly in search of employment and tending to
his four-year-old son Ben during the day while his wife Kim is at
work, Charlie has an idea. If he and Phil can handle taking care of
two kids, how much harder can it be to supervise ten? |
Much
harder than they ever imagined. Every kid is different and every one
is a hilarious challenge, whether they're suffering from sugar rush,
fantasizing about being super heroes, or just demolishing everything
in sight, Charlie and Phil soon realize they are in over their heads.
Way over their heads.
But slowly they get the hang of it and their new venture "Daddy
Day Care" thrives, siphoning kids away from the stuffy Chapman
school. As the number of kids increases, they bring in a third caretaker,
Marvin, who seems to speak the children's language, probably because
he's just an overgrown kid himself. They teach the kids how to read,
play games, interact, and have fun at the same time.
Charlie and Phil gradually bond with their sons, coming to fully appreciate
the priceless joys of fatherhood.
However, the better "Daddy Day Care" works, the more threatened
Gwyneth Harridan becomes, which leads to a showdown.
Now it's the daddies against the baddest mother of them all. |
