Daddy Day Care

Daddy Day Care (2003)

4 plot holes - chronological order

(6 votes)

Plot hole: Near the end of the movie the original two "Daddies" from Daddy Day Care show up at Chapman Academy. Miss Harridan seems surprised to see the main Daddy (Charlie Hinton) show up while she is in the middle of talking with potential customers about what her academy has to offer. Following his speech he then proceeds to take a large group of them away from Chapman Academy to Daddy Day Care without any paperwork needing to be filled out or without any written consent from the parents. How can one day care just take children from another day care like that? The shot was uncut so confirmation of parental consent didn't happen between the time he showed up and the time he left with the kids. (01:22:00 - 01:25:00)

Suggested correction: This show is very cut from the time the men decide to start the daycare again and from when they go to the daycare. We don't see the drive over. I've always assumed that they called the parents before they got to the academy for their permission and that's how they were able to take them.

Plot hole: It's amazing that the two Chapman women weren't caught at "Rock for Daddy Day Care". One of them unzips a guy's dog costume in the middle of the path with everyone walking by. A little kid actually stares right at her when she does this. Also when Jenny puts the cockroaches in the salad, the people who were waiting in line for food would definitely have seen her. There are many more parts like this.

Suggested correction: And yet this kind of thing happens in real life too. Where somebody goes around causing a ruckus in a crowd, people around see them, but they say absolutely nothing and let them get away with it. It's called the "Bystander Effect," where people don't want trouble, so they assume somebody else around will do something. The encouragement of "See something, say something" comes from this exact thing. If it happens in real life, there's no reason it can't happen in the movie.

Plot hole: Marvin came to Charlie's house with paychecks for both Charlie and Phil, but he had no way of knowing Phil was there.

Plot hole: Kim continuously speaks with uneducated sentences and slurs throughout the movie, despite being a lawyer and also being married to a very clean-spoken Charlie.

Continuity mistake: When Steve Zahn is dressed like Darth Vader, he grabs a green light saber, but in the next shot he is holding a blue light saber, when there would have been no time to grab a different one.
