    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.

    So sticky sweet that you might be sick or satisfied, depending on what kind of person you are
    Okay, okay. How exactly do you give a movie like this a horrible grade? It's too cute to call bad, and how can an innocent children's film be considered a corrupted form of entertainment. Well, I guess I'm a sucker. With all of the cute kids, the laughable Star Trek fan (Steve Zahn at his best), and a diverse collection of neurotic characters plays into a movie that was focused-grouped t o the point of near banality. But then again, you can't put this film down simply because the kids were so great. So, I put down Eddie Murphy, who must be longing for the days of Beverly Hills Cop. Sure, he was respectable and funny, but his hard hitting days are well past him. I will say this, Lacey Chabert was absolutely smoking, and Angelica Huston was perfect as the evil school marm.
