There's a discernible lack of enthusiasm from almost everyone involved, and Duff, who's gone from wholesome to haggard in two short years, is flat-out scary.

There's something pernicious about a toxic mix of sitcom and snickering sex jokes getting packaged and effectively sold as wholesome fun for the family.

Its heart is in the right place, but a reliance on gimmicks and sentiment undermines the story. In the end, both the laughs and the tears here come just a little too cheap.

Martin and Levy mug for their close-ups and then retire to their trailers while the stunt doubles do the really hard work.

'Cheaper by the Dozen 2' is one of the reasons that movie viewership dropped off in 2005.

A miserable experience filled with crude slapstick, cruder sentiment and retrograde jokes.

...[takes] a dated, sitcom approach that reveals just how little the filmmakers think of their audience.

A family fantasy that plays at being happy and picture-perfect but primarily comes off as fake and dismayingly unfunny.

[A] cinematic Bataan death march of pratfalls, kicks to the crotch, leg-humping dogs, pseudo-adorable rugrats who are a collective menace to society, and stomach-turning schmaltz...

This sequel is just a string of lame slapstick gags, where Steve Martin acts handicapped, makes a fool of himself and gets a wetsuit stuck up his butt.
