"Daddy Day Camp" is not luxury travel. The sequel to "Daddy Day Care" has Oscar-winner Cuba Gooding Jr. replacing Eddie Murphy as Charlie, this time lacking the good sense to avoid buying and operating a rundown day camp in the woods. When Charlie and pal Phil (Paul Rae) decide it is their mission to revitalize and run the camp, each cliche in the kids-gone-wild film canon is meticulously utilized.

Things go horribly wrong for the two well-meaning parents, whose dream of running a camp where kids can realize the beauty and splendor of the great outdoors is ruined by those very kids themselves. This is an endless parade of troublemakers, interrupted by a few do-gooders who are mostly responsible for making things right by the time all the terrible trouble has spilled.

Those troubles are just as much the fault of the adult entrepreneurs, who seek revenge on a childhood rival as part of their motivation, and such ideas can only go punished. How? Endless gags involving physical mishaps perpetrated on the forever-cringing adults. It takes Charlie summoning his estranged father to restore order.

For cheap laughs and little else, "Daddy Day Camp" offers them as a flotilla of easy-read stunts. Wordplay is kept at a minimum, and the sentiment tacked onto the end is plastic, and all that may be just as well. Meanwhile, the toilet gags are never flushed, but flow on with pride.
