    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Marvin drops the crates of snacks and falls over the gate of the new day-care center, Steve Zahn fractured his wrist. His final scenes were edited out because he needed a cast.
    • Goofs
      When Phil is singing and playing the guitar, many of the kids already know the words and sing along with him (at 28:29). They must have rehearsed this scene too well.
    • Quotes

      Phil: [in the carrot suit] Nobody likes broccoli!

      Charlie Hinton: [in the broccoli suit] Ben likes broccoli! Don't you, Ben?

      Ben: Nope.

      Charlie Hinton: You turned my own sprout against me? Now you're gonna die!

    • Crazy credits
      Outtakes are shown during the first portion of the closing credits.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK version is pre-cut by the distributors to remove a scene in which a child drinks bubble mixture and blows bubbles from his mouth.

    Its a great movie!!!!!!
    this movie is rated low just because its a comedy. If you check all the movies are comedies rated low (especially Eddie Murphys). Eddie Murphys is an actor who plays amazing and funny in many good movies. This comedy movie is good  for the whole family and very fun to see it t in a family movie night. If you choose not to see this movie because of its rating then you make a big mistake (believe me it's not a waste of time).its music is great. and you will enjoy watching it. I loved this movie sow match i watched it like about four times. this movie is good for all ages and don't be afraid to show it to your kids because its just fine.
