Editorial Reviews

Eddie Murphy's Daddy Daycare boldly goes where even Arnold Schwarzenegger's Kindergarten Cop feared to tred, immersing the veteran comedian in proceedings that are at least nine shades of juvenile. Can the UPN sitcom be far behind? The soundtrack selections are a bright, energetic mix of '70s and '80s rock and pop that are familiar enough to become veritable supporting characters for the film's comic intentions. If tracks like Katrina & the Waves' buoyant "Walking on Sunshine," BTO's "Taking Care of Business," and Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver" seem a bit overused in films by now, they're at least placed in a context that underscores the disparate charms of the era. Nilsson's "Coconut" is always a charmer, while the Ramones' "I Wanna Be Sedated," "Ballroom Blitz" by the Sweet, and Cheap Trick's venerable "Surrender" (in what appears to be an alternate take or mix) remind how sheer hook-laden zest a rock song can have. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars Family music that rocks!, September 29, 2003

By	Angela Potter (Derby, CT) - See all my reviews

One of the best soundtracks ever. I knew as soon as I saw the movie that I would have to get it. You can listen to these songs over and over again, much more easily than you can to some of the music that gets repeated constantly on the radio - one of the many reasons I love a good soundtrack. This is destined to become one of my family's favorite car/travel CDs. I'm so happy to enjoy this music with my husband and children, and I suspect that they'll share it with their kids, too. Great songs are timeless! I highly recommend this to be picked up by anyone and everyone!

Well after seeing the movie i just new i had to get the soundtrack. The songs are great and they remind you of the good old music. There is a lot of great up to beat songs and some oldies that are simply great.

A Kid's Review

The two Jackson 5 songs were the bomb! I also liked Kon Fu fighting and ballroom blitz. Also the rap song at the end is catchy. Its not a waste of money! 5 STARS!
