Plot Summary:
This hilarious sequel to the smash hit "Daddy Day
Care" finds dads Charlie Hinton and Phil Ryerson (Cuba Gooding Jr., Paul Rae) in
another kid-harried adventure as they take over running a summer day camp.
Armed with no knowledge of the great outdoors, a dilapidated facility, and a
motley group of campers, it doesn't take long before things get out of control.
Up against threats of foreclosure and declining enrollment Charlie is forced to
call on his estranged father, Col Buck Hinton (Richard Gant) to help bring the
camp together and teach everyone about teamwork, perseverance and the power of
forgiveness.

Stop me if you've heard this one before. An ill-equipped
coach takes a ragtag group of misfits, boosts their
self-esteem with inspirational speeches and leads them into
battle with their cheating, conceited rivals -- a contest in
which they learn the real meaning of teamwork...more
