Publisher's Synopsis
Collection of four family comedies. In 'Daddy Day Care' (2003) Charlie Hinton (Eddie Murphy) and Phil (Jeff Garlin) are fired for a disastrous advertising campaign and find themselves looking after their children whilst their partners go back to work. However, as they have had to cut back, with Charlie taking his son out of an expensive day-care run by Ms Harridan (Anjelica Huston), they decide that since if it's what they do anyway, why not set up their own day-care centre? Despite the usual pitfalls that come with looking after other people's children, the centre becomes a success; but Ms Harridan is looking for revenge as their gain is her loss. Its sequel, 'Daddy Day Camp' (2007), sees Cuba Gooding Jr. take over the role of Charlie Hinton from Eddie Murphy. It is four years later and, low on money, Charlie comes up with an idea to open up a camp similar to the day care service he originally ran. The stage is set for hyper kids and gross-out gags a-plenty. Along the way, Charlie must resolve problems with his father (Richard Gant) and show his son (Spencir Bridges) that he really loves him. In 'Are We There Yet?' (2005), Nick (Ice Cube) is a smooth operator who is interested in a young, attractive divorcee, Suzanne (Nia Long), mother of a 7-year-old-boy (Philip Bolden) and an 11-year-old-girl (Aleisha Allen). Trying to get together with Suzanne, Nick volunteers to bring her children to meet her out of town. Missing the plane, they must make the long journey by car. What Nick doesn't know is that Suzanne's children think that no man is good enough for their mum and will do everything they can to make the trip a nightmare for him. Its sequel, 'Are We Done Yet?' (2007), follows the now married Nick (Ice Cube) and Suzanne (Long) who have decided to leave the rat race for a quieter life in the suburbs. But when they hire a local contractor (John C. McGinley), their dreams of domestic bliss go up in smoke.
