Spurred on by their wives' insistence that their children attend summer camp, daycare entrepreneurs Charlie Hinton (Cuba Gooding Jr.) and his friend Phil (Paul Rae) decide to buy their dilapidated alma mater, Camp Driftwood.

Charlie asks his estranged father for help in restoring Driftwood's former glory.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A mirthless, fairly desperate family film, Daddy Day Camp relies too heavily on bodily functions for comedic effect, resulting in plenty of cheap gags but no laughs.

Even the film stock's colour tint looks cheap and nasty. Don't say we didn't warn you. Go to Full Review

Parents! Hire a bouncy castle. Put on clown paint and make balloon animals. You need not see this. Go to Full Review
Robert Hanks Independent (UK) 10/19/2007
An unnecessary and unlovable sequel to the Eddie Murphy vehicle Daddy Day Care, though this time the producers have traded down to Cuba Gooding Jr. Not recommended. Go to Full Review

Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News 11/21/2019
Predictably unwatchable with a lazy script, lackluster direction, and bad performances. Go to Full Review

If they decide to make Daddy Day Spa with Martin Lawrence and Jim Belushi, I don't want to hear about it. Go to Full Review

See more thiago s @Thiagostone May 23 Filme ruim, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. See more Cudalbu R Jan 2 A sequel that follows a rather different story. You con't really need to watch the first movie. See more Mark M 12/26/2023 A good movie for kids but not enjoyable for older ages. To me, the characters are annoying and the acting is unconvincing. See more Melissa D 11/06/2023 This is such a weird sequel to Daddy Day Care because that was such a classic and was really well done. Daddy day camp definitely had less of a budget but it was still a VERY enjoyable family movie. It was just easy to watch and a bit of a laugh. I'd watch it again and I don't even like movies.
