Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

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

In the midst of big blockbusters and award-winning films, it's all too easy to forget that most of Hollywood's output is stale, rehashed trash. That is, until you come face-to-face with one of those films. This is a boring, by the numbers film designed purely to cash in on the nostalgia of American parents for something they did when they were young. No one working on it had any idea how to make the characters' motivations fit the script, and the result is a cast of unlikeable characters who make stupid decisions. The entire premise for the story falls apart when you realise the main character could have just called the police on the other camp and solved all his problems, but no, Hollywood has to fill its quota of films teaching manly self-reliance as a religious absolute, and that the little guy can always stick it to the man if he believes (despite the mountains of evidence that this approach fails 99.9% of the time). If this worked, why is there a police force? Why are there laws? Above all, why is it 'the man' keeps promoting this message via terrible children's films?Aside from the crippling problems with the overall story, this so called comedy only ever attempts jokes on a par with The Garbage Pail Kids Movie. Your film has a problem if it's possible to draw parallels between characters in your film and TGPKM based on the disgusting qualities of the characters. The resolution of the film even has similarities to that of TGPKM, with protagonists winning various events using skills such as projectile vomiting, or throwing urine over another child.This is an awful film. It is not remotely entertaining, even for its flaws. It teaches an awful message, and bizarrely even sexualises one of the children. Do not watch this, and especially do not show it to children.

OK - it's a bad movie. No argument about that. The story had some potential mind you - the guys from "Daddy Day Care" branching out into running a day camp - but it was poorly put together, had absolutely no flow (especially for the first half hour or so) and featured a type of humour that might be best described as juvenile (except that might be insulting to juveniles, so let's call it pre-juvenile) with jokes that revolved largely around burping and farting and various and sundry other bodily functions. It also featured a lame competition between Camp Driftwood (the Daddy Camp) and a rival camp run by an obnoxious (so obnoxious in fact as to be totally unbelievable) director, played rather pathetically by Lochlyn Munro. I knew this would be slagged pretty hard because of virtually all the main characters from "Daddy Day Care" being recast, but - not having seen the original - I'm in a position to look at Cuba Gooding Jr.'s performance without the face of Eddie Murphy looking over my shoulder. In all fairness, Gooding wasn't bad as Charlie Hinton - he just got suckered into starring in a really bad movie. Having said all that, this movie doesn't really deserve to be ranked in the worst 100 films OF ALL TIME. There are a lot of movies worse than this (one scene actually made me smile, and I've sat through a lot of "comedies" that didn't even get that much response.) So, it's not one of the worst 100, but it is pretty bad. 1/10

this movie gives me the desire to end my own life.The first one wasn't bad, but a sequel, Fred savage should be ashamed of himself and personally pay all of us who have seen it back. Forget the fact that none of the cast returned, but all of them were replaced by lackluster actors that make me consider a future in acting. Sure Cuba gooding Jr.'s normally good, but wtf, did he go bankrupt and need the money. the 2 bright spots of this movie are Cuba's dad and his large friend. My biggest pet peeve about this movie is that portly bully 1. Is it a boy or a girl 2. how old is it, it says it wants to watch nudie movies at home, overall big waste of time, its 90 minutes you're better off watching be kind rewind

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....
