Daddy Day Care (film series)

The Daddy Day Care film series consists of American family-comedy films. Based on original characters by Geoff Rodkey, the plot centers around unemployed dads who start a day care services to help bring in more funds for their respective families. Comedic circumstances follow, as the men are overwhelmed by the rambunctious and mischievous actions of the children.

The first film, though a financial success at the box-office, received generally negative reviews from critics. Variety called it "scarcely more amusing than spending ninety minutes in a pre K classroom". Part two proved to be a moderate success financially, though it was panned by film critics with critiques pointed at the overuse of potty humor. The final film in the trilogy, which debuted over a decade after its predecessor, was made with a small-budget and was released straight-to-home video. The film was met with negative reviews, though it fared well with rentals and sales.
