December: Daddy Daycare
This one’s a classic – who can forget Eddie Murphy dressed as a giant broccoli? Daddy Daycare tells the story of two guys who get laid off from their jobs, stuck working as stay-at-home dads. Inspired to open a daycare centre, they get more than they bargained for and end up getting hilariously creative in their childcare methods. Careful to not take a sip of a drink at the wrong moment when watching this one – it’s a real side-splitter of a flick, and one of our favourites!
Phew! That’s a lot of action, adventure, magical fantasy and slapstick comedy to get through! We can’t wait to share these great films with you at the Accora Centre throughout the year, so don’t hesitate to stop by!
