DADDY DAY CAMP WAS A FUNNY MOVIE WITH A STORY LINE. WALKING INTO THIS MOVIE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A DUD BUT I WAS WRONG IT WASNT A DUD AT ALL. IT HAD A DIFFERENT TASTE OF EVERYTHING LIKE COMEDY AND A LITTLE DAP OF DRAMA. THE CRITICS ARE SOOOOOOO WRONG ABOUT THIS MOVIE AND THE ONLY PROBLEM IS I THINK CRITICS LIKE COMEDY MOVIES THAT ARE RATED R. IF YOU ARE BORED AT HOME DOING SOMETHING YOU HATE THEN GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND GO TO THE MOVIE THEATER TO SEE DADDY DAY CAMP.

OK, this concept has been done and redone, I half expected for them to break in to "It just doesn't matter". All the jokes are old and they do stoop to potty humor and fart jokes and there is virtually nothing here for adults. So why do I recommend it? Well, first of all, this will be new to young kids, so they will enjoy it. But the most important reason is because this movie presents black people as decent, intelligent, charismatic and powerful in a way that your child needs to see with no sermonizing. It doesn't even need to be discussed, just let them have that image. Unlike movies like Hairspray that sermonize and present the issue in a way that does more harm then good, this movie makes no issue about it at all. It just is. Let me jump up on my soapbox. Hollywood shrieks about gun violence yet pictures a gun on every third action DVD cover. They are the first to complain about race relations, yet their movies often fail to show blacks positively. This one does.

Funny and comical. A must see movie that the kids would like. My son loved it. Similar to Daddy Day Care without Eddie Murphy. Just as good.

Wonderful movie for the whole family that focuses on relationships, doing what is right and taking responsible risks. I loved it, sodid the kids.

Don't waste your time and money. Worse than the first film, Daddy Day Care, this one has a mean streak, starting with the character of the opposing camp leader. I was bored. Three people actually walked out. Cuba Gooding must need the money; his standards must have dropped; he can do better than this.
