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!

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

i saw the first part in the cinema and the second ant home, not expecting much. I was right, the movie was boring and not much funny at all, the first thing was that Eddie Murphy was missing, he did an great job in the first part and gave a lot to the humorous part of the movie. This second part had a more serious lead actor that does bot seem to be funny enough. The idea was also a bit boring and one-sided. Predictable and lacking reality. The kinds also had no idea about acting and that had its on contribution to the boringness of the movie. What else to say than the characters were not developed enough... one by one, the puzzle shows to be boring, predictable and plain humor. But hey, the movie is made for those younger folks and if they don't give a damn about the acting and the story, still like it. The first one is a great family movie but the second is just too childish....
