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."

38
Miami Herald
Connie Ogle
A tired and unnecessary sequel.

38
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.

38
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Innocuous amusement for 5- to 8-year-olds and other people stuck in the anal stage of development.

30
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.

30
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.

30
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.

30
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.

25
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.

25
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.

25
San Francisco Chronicle
Will Crain
Too predictable, but kids should like it.

25
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.

12
New York Post
Kyle Smith
A comedy for no ages, has an amazing amount of CGI - Cuba Gooding Incompetence.

11
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.

10
LA Weekly
Tim Grierson
Depressingly shrill.

10
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
Like its methane-filled outhouse that explodes right on cue, this sequel to "Daddy Day Care" (2003) smells.

0
Film Threat
Michael Ferraro
Daddy Day Camp is a perfect family film for the blind and deaf.

0
The Onion (A.V. Club)
Nathan Rabin
A generic time-waster powered by a lazy, cynical combination of scatological kiddie humor and maudlin sentiment.

0
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.
