This is one of the dumbest movies I've ever had the misfortune to rent at my local library. The plot features these two guys who buy a camp and try to save it from being shut down. It's a sequel to a movie starring Eddie Murphy called "Daddy Day Care" which I heard was bad to begin with and I'm not even going to waste my time with that movie. I remember watching the first ten minutes and thinking that it wasn't that bad. I thought that at least it didn't have farts and poop. Guess what they feature ten minutes in?The characters and especially the villains are especially so annoying. Everything is so amazingly clichéd. There's this one boy who has a crush on a girl. I couldn't care less about what happens to anybody in this scenario. There's no setup, there's no reason at all to be interested in what's going on at all. There's two scenes where a kid throws up. I thought to myself that at least they didn't do it a third time where they actually show the vomit. I was just waiting them to show that and of course they did. I thought that at least there wasn't a kick to the crotch and guess what happened eventually? I'm reminded of a song in "Team America: World Police" where it mentions that Cuba Gooding Jr. was a better actor than Ben Affleck. Now he certainly isn't and this film cements that status. I was even able to predict that a kid would use plants as toilet paper. This is an absolutely horrible film and please don't even consider renting it. 1/2*
... View MoreThe first film, despite not being a marvel of the seventh art, still managed to convince the viewer and make him spend a very entertaining time with a story that incited simple humor on the part of the youth under ten years. The film was original because it was about a father who was setting up a nursery. Quite predictable, but it deserved the one approved by me and by the youth audience like me. But in view of the success of the first, the producer decides to win money to the beast making a sequel very dispensable of this already saga.The second is about Cuba Gooding trying to keep afloat a camp he went to when he was young. To keep him afloat brings the children of his nursery, of course, all mischievous. Otherwise, the camp is ramshackle and they decide to fix it with more than one fall in between. But it turns out that next to it there is a new camp the director of who was old opponent of Cuba (Lochlyn Munro), whose children soon become opponents. To all this we added the tournament between camps.Most likely you have had a Déjà Vu. Calm down, it's just a very exploited story. I went to see her with a seven-year-old who kept laughing at the falls. Obviously, what are you going to say to a seven-year-old? If it is your gender, you can not tell a father not to love his son, because the same.Recommended to fans of easy laughter or to children without criterion.
... View Morethis 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.

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!
