1. Chock full of his "Dr. Doolittle" charm, Eddie Murphy's back with this fun-filled family entertainment. There's a delightfully paternal atmosphere despite the inevitable poop and potty jokes.
2. Daddy Day Care is a cinema-sized Romper Room reject looking to pine for its hollow hilarity by appealing to the non-judgmental and misplaced quirkiness of the targeted kid-friendly audience
3. It's Jackass for the pre-juvie crowd.
4. A likable little movie without much to offer but cute tots, recycled gags and a talented cast amiably wasting their time and ours.
5. [An] amiably crass comedy will tickle [your tots] pink.
6. Daddy is more than happy to go for potty-training humor rather than real jokes ... But kids aren't likely to mind, and should be laughing straight through to the blooper-filled closing credits.
7. Daddy Day Care feels like a movie cribbed together from outtakes of other hapless Hollywood comedies.
8. Aimed at viewers young enough still to need day care.
9. Falters is in a few awkwardly mechanical, our-script's-too-short contrivances...but still entirely enjoyable as Saturday matinee family fare.
10. An anemic, flaccid little curiosity with nary a hint of life.
What is the critic consensus?
A: Daddy Day Care does its job of babysitting the tots. Anyone older will probably be bored.

1. The fact that one can think of a movie about a guy hooked on porn as charming is high praise.
2. The screenplay is generally predictable in its story of redemption, and it doesn't have an ounce of subtlety.
3. It's difficult to rate a movie that doesn't really start until its last half hour.
4. An impressive debut as writer/director/star.
5. Don Jon has attitude, conveyed as much through the solid performances as it is through the director's unflinching approach to some complicated subjects.
6. I find it a film that's much easier to admire than actually like.
7. Joseph Gordon-Levitt has teetered on being the Next Big Thing. He's finally there with 'Don Jon,' a grownups-only movie about addiction and compulsion in which he stars. He also wrote and directed this movie about a man's obsession with pornography.
8. This is a very funny, well-written film. Unlike most romantic comedies, it is both thought-provoking and introspective.
9. Very funny and with some social commentary, "Don Jon" is an admirable first effort for Gordon-Levitt behind the camera.
10. If Don Jon does not offer a lasting détente in the war of the genders, it does smartly delineate the gap between men's and women's respective fantasy lives.
What is the critic consensus?
A: Don Jon proves to be an amiable directing debut for Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and a vivacious showcase for his co-star, Scarlett Johansson.

1. Underlying this bizarre domestic dynamic is a post-colonialist drama... but those four dead children might better have come unheralded, with Murielle a surprise Medea rather than a pre-destined anti-heroine enacting a mere fait accompli.
2. With Our Children, Joachim Lafosse seems hellbent on avoiding any hint of sensationalism.
3. As the walls close in we believe this young wife might end up gasping for air. We even believe she might yearn to take the kids, not just herself, to a better place.
4. Tense, slow-burning and handled with impeccable discretion Our Children offers a piercing and compassionate glimpse into the unthinkable.
5. It's not an easy watch, but Lafosse - who made the excellent mother-and-twins study Private Property (2006) - unpicks the family dynamics with moving candour.
6. [An] inexpressibly painful drama, with a classic resonance, which Belgian director and co-writer Joachim Lafosse based on a news story.
7. Dynamically played and superbly handled.
8. Fully committed, beautifully acted, well realised and genuinely unsettling.
9. A drab, gloomy drama that doesn't provide any real enlightenment about why something so awful could happen.
10. A film which tackles serious issues that are both intensely personal and widely political, but which fails to offer understanding of subjects which are perhaps simply incomprehensible.
What is the critic consensus?
A: A wrenching, quietly violent psychodrama, Our Children has the courage to ask difficult questions, and the strength to leave the answers to the viewer.

1. Black Dynamite blends satire, nostalgia, and cinema deconstruction into a one-of-a-kind comedy high.
2. Director Scott Sanders and his co-writers Michael Jai White and Byron Minns unrelentingly lampoon all manner of ghetto life clichés and cultural sacred cows.
3. One of those eminently quotable comedies that frat guys and movie geeks will come back to time and again.
4. This film will delight both discriminating fans of the blaxploitation tradition and ordinary lovers of goofy, in-ya-face thrills.
5. As the theme song declares, this cat is dy-no-mite!
6. You'll either love it and think it's hilarious, comedic brilliance or you won't get it at all. I know which side I'm on cats. Black Dynamite's!
7. Black Dynamite will stir some pleasant memories.
8. Here, the acting, framing, focus, blocking, editing, sound and film processing all nail down the period so perfectly... It looks, sounds and feels as if it were shot in 1972.
9. Before an hour has passed tedium overtakes Black Dynamite -- one corny martial-arts sequence turns out to be plenty -- and all the good jokes dry up.
10. If the joke is somewhat one-note and eventually told too long and too often, at least it's a good joke.
What is the critic consensus?
A:
A loving and meticulous send-up of 1970s blaxsploitation movies, Black Dynamite is funny enough for the frat house and clever enough for film buffs.
