10 Sequels To Popular Movies That Nobody Watched

During the 1980s, Eddie Murphy was an unstoppable force. Filling the screen with his charm and charisma, it seemed that he could make any script sparkle just by being there. However, it would be unfair to say that he didn't lend his name to anything of note after this decade; stand-outs like Bowfinger, the Shrek series and even 2019's My Name is Dolemite proved that he still had it, though the highlights started becoming fewer and farther between.

Daddy Day Care was not one of these highlights. A family-friendly affair, it revolved around two recently fired pals starting up their very own day care centre. Critics called it "boring", "depressing" and even "unwatchable", though the film proved a success and ended up bringing in $164.4 million at the box office.

A sequel, Daddy Day Camp, arrived four years later with Cuba Gooding Jr. taking on the leading role. Then, a subsequent 12 years after that, came Grand-Daddy Day Care. Starring Danny Trejo, the comedy released direct-to-DVD to very little fanfare, with those who did watch it perturbed by its complete lack of logical grounding and a strange tonally inconsistent subplot about the struggles of coping with the onset of dementia.
