Good comedy is derived from the characters, but this film doesn't establish its characters well enough to be effective on that level.

It’s not that Cheaper by the Dozen is awful. Worse than that, it’s just plain dull.

Life in the Baker house is as chaotic as life in the original 1950 Cheaper Gilbreth house was well-ordered and organized. I think I like the in-name-only remake better.

Good-natured and nicely suited for family viewing, but too many of the gags and plot points are old and unfunny.

Sweet, syrupy and corny. But it made us laugh. DVD disc doesn't add much to what's on-screen.

...the film is about children who are so selfish they ensure their parents are as unhappy as the audience.

Hunt’s shunted aside in favor of the camera-hogging Martin, who grandfathers in his exasperated Parenthood act.

A rarely funny comedy that's unlikely to keep even the most undemanding ankle biters amused.

A combination of clever writing, top-notch comedic leads, winning performances from the youngest Bakers, and a genuine affection for old-fashioned (read: big and loud) families elevates Cheaper above the dreaded kid-movie dreck.
