2/10
It's an hour and 36 minutes of forced humor
22 September 2019
A questionable user review on IMDB gives it a 10/10 and says "I Love Eddie Murphy". I can only hope that you've actually seen the film and are just trolling the rest of us, because this movie is definitely NOT a 10/10 and, well, Eddie Murphy isn't even starring in it.

This 3rd entry in the Daddy Day Care films is a straight to video film which has absolutely nothing to do with the first two (Daddy Day Care and Daddy Day Camp). In fact, the star isn't Eddie Murphy but someone who suspiciously looks and acts like him: Reno Wilson. However, this isn't the first time that the writers of Daddy Day Car gave us the ol' switcheroo. Remember, Cuba Gooding Jr. was brought in for Daddy Day Camp to take over from Eddie Murphy, and yes he pretty much cosplayed as Eddie in that film too. It's almost as if writers come up with a formula and can't seem to stray away from it? Nah....must be coincidence.

The basic premise is that this guy, Frank Collins, is writer. He's staying at home to work on his next masterpiece but he also has to take care of, and entertain, his aging father-in-law played by Machete himself, the one and only Danny Trejo. He's old, noisy, and annoying and preventing Collins from finishing his work. One thing leads to another, more old people show up, and it becomes a business opportunity full of slapstick comedy, poop jokes, and drug fueled shenanigans. The problem is that the writing isn't great so the comedy bits feel forced and unfunny.

It might be worth your time, but only as a last resort if you can't find anything better to watch.
