Am I hallucinating?

Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the director of Daddy Day Camp. Shocked? Yeah me too. I'm always fascinated to see who directs these kinds of movies and why. And by "these" I mean movies you would typically expect to go straight to video or simply be amazed they were able to secure a budget, cast and crew. So everytime I see a movie like Daddy Day Camp or Who's Your Caddy come out I always check to see who the director is. Ironically my fiancee asked me the other day if I had a chance to direct Who's Your Caddy (or something like it) would I? I think I would. If for nothing else I would do it for the experience. Even the best directors have made shit films. Who cares if you have some crap movie you're not proud of. Maybe you would be proud of it- who knows? At least you could say you directed a feature, and hopefully from there you'd get better work. Seeing Fred Savage's name as the director shocked me though for a few reasons. One, I had no idea he was directing. Two, it was the last name I expected to see. Looking at his imdb page, he's been directing ALOT. So if you've been wondering whatever happened to Kevin Arnold, he's directing Daddy Day Camp, among other things.

ps Cuba Gooding Jr. needs to have a serious discussion with his manager and agent.
