Sleepaway Movie

Camp will probably be over off screen — probably still with no letter from Thing 1 — when daddy will ride to the rescue on the screen. Actually, grandpa, when the "daddy day" brand extends Aug. 8 with the release of "Daddy Day Camp."

"Daddy Day Care" (2003) was about laid off SAHDs who, cluelessly, decide to start taking care of children professonally. DDC2 has clueless white and black dads (Eddie Murphy and Jeff Garlin in One; Cuba Gooding Jr. and Paul Rae in Two) who decide to run a camp. No doubt hilarity ensues until Gooding's dad, the Colonel (Richard Grant), sets everything on course for the uplifting ending.

** A movie plotting mystery to be revealed. Dads handling kid duties are most often the source of comedy while moms handling them provide a source of tragedy? **
