In 2003's "Daddy Day Care," Charlie Hinton and Phil Ryerson (played by Eddie Murphy and Jeff Garlin at the time) created a successful daycare business and kept everyone laughing at the same time.

This sequel finds the pair (now played by Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Paul Rae) still in the business after four years. But their kids are growing up – they're seven now – and the dads feel like the years are slipping away. To spend more time with them, they decide to take over a summer day camp.

"The Daddy Day Care brand means a lot," says Charlie to wife Kim (Tamala Jones). "Repurposing that brand into summer is just smart business." Kim's not convinced. After all, Charlie has zero knowledge of the great outdoors. Still, he's excited about the idea of introducing his son, Ben (Spencir Bridges), to Camp Driftwood – the same camp he went to as a kid. 

Once there, they discover that the run-down camp is badly in need of some attention. No problem! Charlie and Phil get to work tidying things up so they can give a group of campers "a summer they'll never forget." Truer words were never spoken, because nothing goes right from day one. It doesn't take long for things to spiral out of control.

A busload of campers show up, all with their distinct personalities: Becca (Molly Jepson) is all business. Mullet (Zachary Allen) is "business up front, party in the back, baby." And Robert (Tad D'Agostino) is the geeky guy who wants the cool girl.

An Intercamp Olympiad plays into the storyline, as well as some family (dis)harmony involving members of the Hinton clan. It's a familiar story about being true to yourself, working as a team, persevering against the odds, and letting the past stay in the past. You pretty much know how this movie is going to turn out in the first five minutes.
