Daddy Day Crap

I saw a preview last night for a new movie coming out called Daddy Day Camp. That's right, they are making a sequel to the hit movie Daddy Day Care (I was going to use the term "hit movie" sarcastically but apparently DDC made over 100M in the US...proving once again that people love trite crap). The part that struck me as odd in the trailer is that there was a fat, geeky, squeeky voiced white guy that WASN'T Jeff Garlin. Wouldn't you think that in pre-production when you call up Jeff Garlin to reprise his roll and he blows you off, you'd stop and think that maybe you are starting a process that will flush millions of dollars down the toilet? Jeff Garlin. Jeff Garlin is a stand up who has a five minute bit about how to say the word 'pudding'. And he decided that he didn't want to be in your major motion picture.

Also, Cuba Gooding Jr is playing the part that Eddie Murphy played in the original. That sounds about right. Remember when Cuba made movies that people cared about? Now he's making stuff like Boat Trip and filling in for Eddie Murphy when Eddie feels he can't go 90 minutes without saying "fuck".
