Cuba Gooding Is Disappointing In “Daddy Day Camp”

Although no one was even expecting this, the 2003 movie “Daddy Day Care” has got a sequel on the way. It has been titled “Daddy Day Camp” and it features actors such as Cuba Gooding Jr., Josh McLerran, Paul Rae and others and it was directed by Fred Savage.

However, “Daddy Day Camp” seems to be even more terrible than the previous movie, which was barely watchable too and for actor Cuba Gooding Jr. playing in this comedy appears to be one of the worse choices he has ever done. The actor has taken over as the same character as Eddie Murphy played in 2003 in “Daddy Day Care”.

Without even probably thinking why fellow actor Eddie Murphy has left it aside, Cuba Gooding Jr. has explainable agreed to star in “Daddy Day Camp” as Charlie. Even Jeff Garlin, who played in “Daddy Day Care” the role of Phil, Charlie’s buddy, has been replaced by another actor, Paul Rae.

Anyway, the 2007 sequel features the same characters, Charlie and Phil, who have decided to buy Driftwood, which is a run-down camp that Charlie had attended when he was a child. And because no one wants to come to their camp, only Charlie’s son and some other kids end up at Driftwood. They will be continually irritated by the children from Camp Canola, which is just up the road and welcomes only rich kids, whi are playing with ATVs and water jets.

So, a contest between the two camps that should take place is Charlie and Phil’s last chance for not closing the camp. But not even now the comedy’s action does move a bit As you can imagine, in the end everybody will learn some valuable lessons about fair-play and the differences between people.

Of course, there are some good moments, but everything is flooded by an avalanche of pee, puke and poop jokes. That’s how the Fred Savage’s directorial debut becomes a failing project.

However, it’s Cuba Gooding Jr. who remains the most disappointing person, as he is a Oscar-winning actor (he won the best supporting actor Oscar for his work in the 1996 film "Jerry Maguire.") accepting to join such a movie.
