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.
