Criminally lazy follow-up to the syrupy family comedy Daddy Day Care, in which ad exec Eddie Murphy opens a nursery. Murphy at least had the good sense to bow out of this second helping, leaving Cuba Gooding Jr holding the babies, who have since grown into a clutch of nauseating pre-teen horrors. This time around, the villain of the piece is a knucklehead owner of a rival camp who runs his operation like a pre-school for Blackwater.
