One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The 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.

Charlie (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) and Phil (Paul Rae) have been running their successful Daddy DayCare for several years now. However, summer vacation starts and the kid care guys are ready for a break. Not so fast! Charlie's wife thinks it would be good for their now elementary ages son to go to day CAMP. This horrifies Charlie, who hates bugs, snakes and competitive sports. But, when he finally agrees, there is no other camp choice but the one he, Charlie, went to, Driftwood. Driving out to the woods, though, with his son and Phil, they are astonished by a couple of things. First, there is a flashy day camp just next to Driftwood, run by an medal-winning and obnoxious Olympic athlete (Lochlyn Munro). Secondly, Driftwood is about to go under from the competition and is extremely rundown. Guess who steps in to turn it around, Charlie and Phil, that's who. Good at promotion, they snag a bus load of kids for their first week. But, after exposing the kids to poison ivy, wet boots, getting lost among the trees, etc., they lose a good deal of the children to the nearby "super" camp. Not wanting to be defeated, Charlie calls on his retired Marine-father colonel, Buck (Richard Gant). to help save the day, even though they have crossed horns many times. Eventually, the wangle more kids AND a day of competition with their foes next door. Who will win? Viewers may think they are traveling down Deja Vu lane, which is true, but the movie still hits the funnybone. The cast is one big reason, for Gooding, Jr., Paul, Munroe, Gant and the rest enthusiastically play out the slapstick script. All other film aspects, that is, costumes, sets, script and direction are worthy as well. Think this is one to skip? Not so, its fun!

Daddy Day Care was flawed, but actually pretty watchable. Daddy Day Camp however is a poor film. The production values are pretty good, but for me nothing else works.The story is very predictable with one too many clichéd and unfunny situations, while the script is weak. The direction is lacking, the pacing is rushed and the characters are never believable. The acting is nothing special, Cuba Gooding Jnr tries hard to make something out of his character and replacing Eddie Murphy, but instead comes across as bland and annoying. Same with Paul Rae, and how Richard Grant got dragged into this I shall never know.Overall, a poor comedy and family film with little to offer, old or new. 2/10 Bethany Cox
