Summary
RATING: PG adult comedy
Starring Cuba Gooding Jr., Paul Rae, Josh McLerran, Lochlyn Munro, and Richard Gant
Dads Charlie Hinton and Phil Ryerson are in another kid-harried adventure as they take over running a summer day camp. Armed with no knowledge of the great outdoors, a dilapidated facility, and a motley group of campers, it doesn't take long before things get out of control. Up against threats of foreclosure and declining enrollment, Charlie is forced to call on his estranged father, Col. Buck Hinton, to help bring camp together and teach everyone about teamwork, perseverance and the power of forgiveness. (Sony Pictures)

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Gianni Truzzi
This belabored summertime sequel is moderately less vulgar, certainly less expensive and, if possible, even less funny than its forerunning bomb, "Daddy Day Care."
Read Full Review >TV Guide Ken Fox
This terrible sequel to a bad movie was directed by Fred Savage, the now-grown star of "The Wonder Years," though there's no evidence of any behind-the-scenes adult supervision.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Ty Burr
Innocuous amusement for 5- to 8-year-olds and other people stuck in the anal stage of development.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen
Any scrap of charm or honest-to-goodness humor already possessed in limited quantities by the original has been relegated to the outhouse in this sorry follow-up.
Read Full Review >Variety John Anderson
This sequel to the 2003 Eddie Murphy comedy may appeal to auds still young enough not to have seen it all before, or who still find flatulence hilarious, or who think adults, when agitated, flail about like epileptic marionettes.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Desson Thomson
It's gotten to the point where Gooding's presence on a marquee practically guarantees we'll be bashing our heads against the seat in front of us. Bonk, bonk, bonk.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Matt Zoller Seitz
A recruiting poster for kids, insisting that there’s no domestic problem that military values can’t solve.
Read Full Review >USA Today Claudia Puig
The unfunny jokes center on outhouses, vomit and flatulence. Gooding mugs, screeches, even hops up and down to no avail. Nothing can wring an ounce of comedy out of this sorry spectacle.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Gregory Kirschling
Filling in for Eddie Murphy in a septically humored kiddie sequel to "Daddy Day Care," Gooding gives a mug-job performance that consists mainly of reacting (again and again) to nasty smells.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
If you're looking for a modern-day "Meatballs" - or, for that matter, "Meatballs 4" - you're out of luck.
Read Full Review >New York Post Kyle Smith
A comedy for no ages, has an amazing amount of CGI - Cuba Gooding Incompetence.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten
Despite cute kids, tough dads, and problems controlling bed-wetting and farts, Daddy Day Camp should just limp off to the nurse's tent and call it quits.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Andrea Gronvall
Like its methane-filled outhouse that explodes right on cue, this sequel to "Daddy Day Care" (2003) smells.
Read Full Review >Film Threat Michael Ferraro
Daddy Day Camp is a perfect family film for the blind and deaf.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin
A generic time-waster powered by a lazy, cynical combination of scatological kiddie humor and maudlin sentiment.
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Liam Lacey
About as much fun as being given a wedgie and hung from the camp flagpole, Daddy Day Camp is an unnecessary sequel.

Wtf dofgon gave it a0:
Basically a bad sequel to an already bad movie.
Greg M. gave it a0:
The only way to stop Hollywood from making this garbage is to stop the general public from going to see it. That means everyone. Parents included. Momma, don't let your baby grow up to be retarded by letting them watch retarded films.
Smitherson gave it a5:
I liked it.. but I didn't like it at all... uh yea I like chicken. Baby farted. and Joe heard it... and smelled it.
Alejandro R. gave it a0:
I would never watch this piece of shit because it looks like a piece of shit. They couldn't get Eddie Murphy in the sequel, because he probably thought the first one brought down his reputation down the toilet. So they picked a name out of a hat, and Cuba Gooding Jr was picked. This looks like garbage so don't even dare rent this on DVD.
