Are We Done Yet?

In this movie, two fathers, Charlie Hinton (Eddie Murphy) and Phil Ryerson (Jeff Garlin), lose their jobs in product development at a large food company and are forced to take their sons out of the exclusive Chapman Academy and become stay-at-home fathers. With no job possibilities on the horizon, the two dads open their own day care facility, "Daddy Day Care", and employ some fairly unconventional and sidesplitting methods of caring for children. As "Daddy Day Care" starts to catch on, it launches them into a highly comedic rivalry with Chapman Academy's tough-as-nails director, Mrs. Gwyneth Harridan (Anjelica Huston), who has driven all previous competitors out of business. —Sony Pictures Publicity

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.

8/10

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.
