| Two fathers get a crash course in caring for kids other than their own in this family-friendly comedy. Charlie Hinton ( Eddie Murphy ) is an advertising executive whose job monopolizes his time, making it difficult for him to stay in touch with his young son, Ben ( Khamani Griffin ). However, after Charlie and his partner, Phil ( Jeff Garlin ), are given their pink slips in the wake of a disastrous campaign for a new breakfast cereal, Charlie's wife, Kim ( Regina King ), goes back to work, and with the family budget tighter than before, Charlie becomes a stay-at-home dad. After pulling Ben out of an expensive and exclusive daycare center run by the humorless Gwyneth Harridan ( Anjelica Huston ), Charlie comes up with a brainstorm — since he and Phil watch their own children every day, how much harder could it be to watch a few more kids and open their own day care center? Charlie and Phil discover there's much more to running a daycare center than they ever imagined, but after a very rough start, with the help of likable slacker Marvin ( Steve Zahn ) their new business becomes a success — so much so that Harridan finds herself losing customers to the upstart fathers, and she starts searching for a way to shut them down. — Mark Deming |
