Consensus:
The once-promising career of Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr. may have hit its nadir. An bad sequel to a bad movie, Daddy Day Camp relies too heavily on bodily functions for comedic effect, resulting in plenty of gags but no laughs.

While the actors in Daddy Day Camp may be different, the tired and predictable storyline full of jokes involving urinating, flatulence, burping, vomiting and crotch shots remains the same.

I can't think of a single kind word to say about this unfortunate family comedy which is unoriginal, predictable, schmaltzy and bland.

Parents! Hire a bouncy castle. Put on clown paint and make balloon animals. You need not see this.

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.

Criminally lazy follow-up to the syrupy family comedy Daddy Day Care.

Never work with children or animals. Unless you're a child or an animal, in which case, never work with Cuba Gooding Jnr.

Desperately unfunny, badly written sequel that's essentially a mish-mash of tired cliches, fart gags and genuinely terrible performances. One to avoid.

Watching children act, when it's bad, is on par with having a tooth pulled; and suffice it to say, the adult acting is not much better.

If your idea of fun is an hour and a half surrounded by screaming, whining, vomiting children, then this may be your movie.

While Danica McKellar is busy extolling the virtues of mathematics to young females of America, her erstwhile leading man Fred Savage can be found toiling for a far less noble cause.

...original stars Eddie Murphy and Jeff Garlin have wisely chosen to be absent this time around.

Doesn't attain the acute awfulness of last week's Bratz -- but also lacks the grim 'end of civilization as we know it' fascination of that discharge of dumbness.
