Daddy Day Camp (2007)

this movie isn't near as bad as most of the reviewers on here claim it to be,, I don't honestly know what their expectations were, but they must have been pretty darn high,, they must have been expecting it to be as good as the first one,,, wrong,, course it's inferior to the first one I figured it would be. Cuba Gooding Jr. however will have you rolling on the floor with laughter,, which is exactly what I was looking for when I bought this movie,, lot's of mayhem and practical jokes about in this movie. sure it's not gonna win any awards,, but then again it doesn't stink up the joint either,, good comedic relief if you ask me.

Remember my Son of the Mask review where I complain about Jim Carrey not being in a sequel so bad it has nothing to hide? Well, this movie is suffering the same problem Son of the Mask has: no Eddie Murphy!! Instead, we get some dope named Cuba Gooding Jr.(Not that Cuba Gooding Jr. is a good actor, mind you). The plot has made positively no sense by any means and all the characters look absolutely nothing like the originals from Daddy Day Care. I know what you're thinking: well, at least the guy who voiced the Flying Dutchman from Spongebob Squarepants is in it so it can't be that bad. Why mention an already horrendous cartoon series in a bad, crap-filled movie like this? And to think Fred Savage's performance in the Wizard is a complete joke. This is, above all, one of the most stupidest movies since Titanic: The Legend Goes On and A Troll in Central Park!

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!

A sequel, with a new cast and new theme. The movie was a utter disappointment, for the reasons of the bad characters, bad dialog and recklessly unfunny sequences. The opening movie Daddy Day Care was a found enjoyment, and a nice family movie. Cuba Gooding Jr. always one of my favourite actors, almost made me hate him for his performance. Basically he just acted himself, and laughed or screamed here and there. A boring, fun-made family movie that just targets towards kids for their innovative crude and immature humor. The characters were either too over the top and executed wrongly, or there was hardly no character in one at all. Daddy Day Camp is an humorless piece of garbage, that shouldn't be seen by anyone, at any time.
