Daddy Dead Camp
Slash Film has produced our feel good story of the day: Daddy Day Camp has bombed in a very serious way.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Get ready to see Cuba Gooding Jr.’s Oscar on EBAY soon, because nobody showed him the money on the Wednesday opening of this shit-covered intestinal fluke of a film.
Daddy Day Camp made $773, 706 on Wednesday. That is, as Peter Sciretta points out, a pathetic $350 per screen.
Let’s put this into perspective. I could make $350 per screen by showing a still picture of Eric’s unshaven ass for two hours.
I couldn’t be any happier about this. Not only does it pull the plug on Cuba’s overrated career and increasing penchant for mugging, but it also sends a surprising and much-needed message to Hollywood: stop creating films by holding up a Rorshach picture in front of a retard and writing down what he says. There has been a string of recent films that have made me question whether I wanted to remain alive: Wild Hogs, Night at the Museum, and, of course, Norbit.
After seeing the trailer for this film, I began tying various knots for the noose that would surely slip around my neck once the film’s box office numbers appeared in the trades. I would have bet everything I own - oooh, big gambler!! - that this stupid thing would have reached Norbit-sized numbers.
But the audience strikes back!! In a summer season punctuated by sloppy craftsmanship (Spiderman 3), infantilism (Transformers) , and bewildering stupidity (everything else), some movie had to pay the price … and while I wish that film would have been Rush Hour 3, I am still pretty happy with this and Underdog tanking so spectacularly.
NOTE TO HOLLYWOOD: Stop making shit.

I would hope a picture of my unshaven ass would be worth more than $350. I mean people have payed big money to see it in the past.
I like Cuba and I think he’s a good actor, but it’s great to see that this movie did so poorly. I guess Cuba will have to break out Boyz N Tha Hood 2 to mount his comeback.
I disagree with your comment on his “overrated career,” but I am extremely happy this movie is bombing.
Disagree all you want. Her eare the facts … the guy starred in:
Norbit
Daddy Day Camp
Instinct
What Dreams May Come
Pearl Fucking Harbor
Rat Race
Good Movies:
Jerry Maguire
A Few Good Men
Gladiator
OVERRATED!!
He was the THE only good thing about Pearl Harbor AND What Dreams May Come.
You’re a tool for bringing Norbit and Daddy Day Camp into this as part of your argument, as I addressed this in a previous post.
Saying this:
He was the THE only good thing about Pearl Harbor AND What Dreams May Come.
Is like saying that the best part of shitting is pinching it off. He generally sucked in those movies, but he just wasn’t as bad as the worst parts … neat …. let’s give him another Oscar.
perhaps 2
Perhaps we could revoke the one he got for his overrated performance in MaGuire.
NEGATIVE. MaGuire was good for him.
Who gives a shit if it was good for HIM … it wasn’t a GOOD performance.
WRONG.
He was good in Boys N Tha Hood, Judgement Night, As Good As It Gets, A Mureder Of Crows, and Men Of Honor. Theese plus the ones you have already mentioned makes him a pretty good actor.
He wasn’t in Gladiator. And he was completely over rated in Jerry McGuire. His best is definately Boyz in the Hood
Gladiator, the boxing movie from the early 90’s is what he’s referring to.
He is a horrible actor, or has he just made, really, really, really, really, really, REALLY horrible career choices? I ask you…
