Seattle Post-IntelligencerGianni Truzzi
This belabored summertime sequel is moderately less vulgar, certainly less expensive and, if possible, even less funny than its forerunning bomb, "Daddy Day Care." Read full review

Miami HeraldConnie Ogle
A tired and unnecessary sequel. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineKen Fox
This terrible sequel to a bad movie was directed by Fred Savage, the now-grown star of "The Wonder Years," though there's no evidence of any behind-the-scenes adult supervision. Read full review

Boston GlobeTy Burr
Innocuous amusement for 5- to 8-year-olds and other people stuck in the anal stage of development. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterMichael Rechtshaffen
Any scrap of charm or honest-to-goodness humor already possessed in limited quantities by the original has been relegated to the outhouse in this sorry follow-up. Read full review

VarietyJohn Anderson
This sequel to the 2003 Eddie Murphy comedy may appeal to auds still young enough not to have seen it all before, or who still find flatulence hilarious, or who think adults, when agitated, flail about like epileptic marionettes. Read full review

The New York TimesMatt Zoller Seitz
A recruiting poster for kids, insisting that there’s no domestic problem that military values can’t solve. Read full review

Washington PostDesson Thomson
It's gotten to the point where Gooding's presence on a marquee practically guarantees we'll be bashing our heads against the seat in front of us. Bonk, bonk, bonk. Read full review

If you're looking for a modern-day "Meatballs" - or, for that matter, "Meatballs 4" - you're out of luck. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleWill Crain
Too predictable, but kids should like it. Read full review

USA TodayClaudia Puig
The unfunny jokes center on outhouses, vomit and flatulence. Gooding mugs, screeches, even hops up and down to no avail. Nothing can wring an ounce of comedy out of this sorry spectacle. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyGregory Kirschling
Filling in for Eddie Murphy in a septically humored kiddie sequel to "Daddy Day Care," Gooding gives a mug-job performance that consists mainly of reacting (again and again) to nasty smells. Read full review

New York PostKyle Smith
A comedy for no ages, has an amazing amount of CGI - Cuba Gooding Incompetence. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarjorie Baumgarten
Despite cute kids, tough dads, and problems controlling bed-wetting and farts, Daddy Day Camp should just limp off to the nurse's tent and call it quits. Read full review

Depressingly shrill. Read full review

Chicago ReaderAndrea Gronvall
Like its methane-filled outhouse that explodes right on cue, this sequel to "Daddy Day Care" (2003) smells. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam Lacey
About as much fun as being given a wedgie and hung from the camp flagpole, Daddy Day Camp is an unnecessary sequel. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan Rabin
A generic time-waster powered by a lazy, cynical combination of scatological kiddie humor and maudlin sentiment. Read full review

Daddy Day Camp is a perfect family film for the blind and deaf. Read full review
