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!

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.

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 doesn't really deserve to be ranked in the worst 100 films OF ALL TIME. 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 100, but it is pretty bad. 1/10

This movie was just awful. The plot is 2 guys who run a day care decide to take over a day camp. One of the guys, Charlie, is at odds with the guy who runs the other more fancy camp. Charlie doesn't want that guy to take over the older camp. Some of the "funny" parts were the cleaning up of the camp. It's always so funny to see someone fall through a roof while hammering or cleaning up a nasty bathroom. It will have you rolling in the floor, NOT!! So, the ending is the predictable competition between the 2 camps and the other camp cheats to win some of the games. But, Charlie's kid saves the day by winning.Why would Cuba Gooding be in this. He must have been desperate for a check.FINAL VERDICT: You will hate yourself if you waste 90 minutes on this. Don't do it.
