It's easy to forget how funny Eddie Murphy can be, being absent from any big projects in recent years. Films like this are great reminders of the kind of quality comedies that he excels at so easily. With the main plot being the insane idea that men can care for children, there are a few points where this film feels very dated, but remains a cute look back at a not so distant past. The entire cast does a great job at at keeping the fun time rolling and even when the jokes don't particularly land, the performances have such heart that it elevates the film. Being a 2000's comedy, there are plenty of moments where you have to suspend disbelief, but nothing too over the top. You will be lathered in product placement for various pop culture properties, but uses them in a way that feels true and honest in a film about children. With memorable moments, plot, and cast throughout, this is an easy choice when looking for a quick flick.
