Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W37DlG1i61s My Review: Wanting a nice easy film to watch I thought I would watch Shrek which is a film in which I grew up with and I am able to quote pretty much word for word. I find that this film always makes me happy and it just relaxes me to watch which is something in which I was really looking for when I decided to put this on. Personally I love this film, this humour in it is brilliant for both adults and children which does make this an easy film to watch with the whole family.

This inspires them to open their own day-care center Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdmbtyEtU8s My Review: Having noticed that Daddy Day Care had been put on Netflix and I had not seen it in years I could not resist but to watch it.
