Daddy Day Camp
This hilarious sequel to the smash hit Daddy Day Care finds dads Charlie Hinton and Phil Ryerson (Cuba Gooding Jr., Paul Rae) in another kid-harried adventure as they take over running a summer day camp. Armed with no knowledge of the great outdoors, a dilapidated facility, and a motley group of campers, it doesn’t take long before things get out of control. Up against threats of foreclosure and declining enrollment Charlie is forced to call on his estranged father, Col Buck Hinton (Richard Gant) to help bring the camp together and teach everyone about teamwork, perseverance and the power of forgiveness.

I enjoyed this movie a lot more than your other viewers. Part of my reason is I have sons who were part of the Scout movement. I know what it can be like at camp for youth and their councillors. I also know that many kids aren't that happy going to camp their first time. Usually once they have had the experience they do want to go back. I laughed often in this movie. I also was happy to see the same actors as part of this movie. You were already familiar with their story.Just A Plain Bad Movie - revsdd
OK - it's a bad movie. No argument about that. The story had some potential mind you - the guys from "Daddy Day Care" branching out into running a day camp - but it was poorly put together, had absolutely no flow (especially for the first half hour or so) and featured a type of humour that might be best described as juvenile (except that might be insulting to juveniles, so let's call it pre-juvenile) with jokes that revolved largely around burping and farting and various and sundry other bodily functions. It also featured a lame competition between Camp Driftwood (the Daddy Camp) and a rival camp run by an obnoxious (so obnoxious in fact as to be totally unbelievable) director, played rather pathetically by Lochlyn Munro. I knew this would be slagged pretty hard because of virtually all the main characters from "Daddy Day Care" being recast, but - not having seen the original - I'm in a position to look at Cuba Gooding Jr.'s performance without the face of Eddie Murphy looking over my shoulder. In all fairness, Gooding wasn't bad as Charlie Hinton - he just got suckered into starring in a really bad movie. Having said all that, this movie isn't the worst movie ever made (how's that for a compliment?) There are a lot of movies worse than this (one scene actually made me smile, and I've sat through a lot of "comedies" that didn't even get that much response.) So, it's not one of the worst, but it is pretty bad.Sucked - cherrypie5
I rented it for my seven year old but even she did not like it. It was not funny although I think it was a good idea for a movie. The original was just so much better and they should have just left it at that. The kids were basically just annoying and not funny at all.
