How is it possible that I adored School Of Rock and liked Cheaper By the Dozen and yet, I hated Daddy Day Care? Some movies even alcohol can’t save.
Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood for formulaic “family” comedy…I don’t know. There were many funny moments, but they lay at the periphery–Steve Zahn’s Marvin was a real treat as the Star Trek geek that “gets” kids and their thought patterns, and the scene where Phil’s traumatized by changing diapers was awesome. Also the central theme of the movie is awesome–do work that’s fulfilling, not what’s lucrative.
