Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Jackson Booth-Millard The predecessor was immature and not absolutely hilarious, and I assumed this sequel was straight to DVD, and even though that was wrong, the fact that it was rubbish wasn't. Basically the story continues where the last film left off, where Charlie Hinton (Razzie nominated Cuba Gooding Jr., replacing Eddie Murphy) and his partner Phil Ryerson (Paul Rae) have made Daddy Day Care a big success. This time they plan to extend the business more by buying a run-down camp site, Camp Driftwood, to go against and hopefully beat the highly successful Camp Catona run by the mean Lance Warner (Scary Movie's Lochlyn Munro). They start very badly having to clear up the mess left behind, and when some kids do come to the camp hoping for a good time, they lose about half their customers. They do manage to keep a few of the kids going, including of course Charlie's own son Ben (Spencir Bridges) supporting him, despite facing foreclosure and needing money for repairs. Obviously keeping the remaining kids under control is much harder than it would be in a house, being outdoors, so they get the help of Charlie's own father Colonel Buck (Bean's Richard Gant). The kids really work together to have fun and make the camp much more appealing to other people, but Lance is insisting that his camp is better. It is revealed that Charlie was in a camp tournament during his childhood, and this was one of the reasons he started the whole camp thing, to prove himself almost. Eventually, after so much aggravation and disaster, Charlie decides to take Lance up on his offer, or rather his torment, and accepts Camp Driftwood to go against Camp Catona in the Camp Olympiad. After a few cheats by Camp Catona, the good guys do catch up, and eventually it is revealed the rivals were cheating, and the right people do win, and many parents are glad to be signing up to Camp Driftwood for their kids. Also starring Tamala Jones as Kim Hinton, Brian Doyle-Murray as Uncle Morty and Joshua 'Josh' McLerran as Dale. I agree with the critics that it is horrible to see a once Oscar winning actor wasting his time with stupid films like this, it is not funny, it is predictable, it is irritating, and I don't think anyone older than three years old will like it, a really awful family comedy. It won the Razzie Award Worst Prequel or Sequel, and it was nominated for Worst Director for Fred Savage (Austin Powers in Goldmember's Number Three, with the big mole), Worst Picture and Worst Screenplay. Poor!

Wizard-8 One day, I would really like to see an interview with Cuba Gooding Jr. as to why he accepted one crappy movie project after another after getting an Oscar, eventually finding himself only able to get work in direct-to-DVD projects - or movies originally intended to go direct-to-DVD, as this project was. His performance here isn't exactly one that suggests he cares about how he comes across - he is constantly mugging and overacting, and it's hard to care for his character or for Gooding himself. It's also hard to care about anything else in this movie. The bad guys are cartoon characters, and the white partner of Gooding's character is given almost nothing to do. As for the rest of the protagonists, they are a group of people you will hope will fail, mainly because the kids are obnoxious stereotypes. Throw in some gross literate potty humor, as well as the production values of a television drama, and you get what you think you'll get just by seeing the front of the movie's DVD case.

benangelus57 OK first off i was put off this movie by the fact that Eddie Murphy didn't want to be in it, which looking at the films he pumps out now is saying something (i have Norbit in mind) i only saw this movie as a friend had it so it didn't cost me anything, and i was sorely disappointed.I had always liked Cuba Gooding Jr. since i saw him in rat race, but this has ruined my opinion of him.I found this movie unfunny and as it develops it becomes a poor mans cheaper by the dozen 2 (which was no masterpiece itself) truly a film to avoid

mvd102000 Really, I'm only commenting because the original "most useful" comment was idiotic, and praised the movie. Upon seeing the case for the movie, I realized that Eddie Murphy was not in the movie. I turned the case around, and discovered that the same character was being played by another actor; an actor who shouldn't be in terrible sequels, playing an already well-known actors character, only a few years after the original had come out. The film itself delivers a lack-luster storyline and secondhand laughs. The acting isn't so great and the believability of the entire thing is low, much unlike most of the first movie. I'm going to have to say, for Oscar-winning Cuba Gooding Jr. to take a role such as this, he may have risked his entire career's great overview. The original itself wasn't exactly sequel prone, but at least it was watchable.
