Reviews Counted:103

Fresh:5

Rotten:98

Average Rating:3.2/10

Consensus: The initial set-up is unbelievable, the plotting is predictable and stale, and the comedy depends on repetitive pratfalls that soon get old.

Rated: PG [See Full Rating] for some mild crude humor.

Runtime: 88 mins

Genre: Childrens

Theatrical Release:Nov 23, 2005 Wide

Box Office: $53,359,917

Helen (Renee Russo) is the... Based on a film from 1968 (that starred Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda), this is a family comedy about two huge families that come together to create total chaos. Helen (Renee Russo) is the free-spirited mother of ten, including six adopted children of various races. Meanwhile, Admiral Frank Beardsley (Dennis Quaid) has eight well-trained Anglo Saxon overachievers, including a class president shoo-in (Sean Faris), a cheerleader (Katija Pevec) and a pair of sugar-addict twins (Brecken and Bridger Palmer). Among those on Helen's free-spirit side are a cute guitar-playing hipster chick (Danielle Panabaker), a sullen emo boy (Drake Bell), a rapper (Lil' JJ), a hissy-fit throwing young Asian fashion designer (Lao North), twins from India (Jennifer and Jessica Habib), and a potbellied pig. When Helen and Frank impulsively wed after reuniting at a class reunion, their differing clans resent suddenly having to share bedrooms and bathroom time with such polar opposites. Devious plans are hatched, wars waged, and very few heads escape being doused with paint or other thick gooey matter, especially poor Frank's, whose regimented military mind can hardly fathom the complexities of so many run-amok age groups. Luckily, Quaid is playing the role, and he's great at mixing broad comedy with parental authority. Russo is also strong here--still sexy as ever--and the sophisticated romantic chemistry she manages to squeeze in with Quaid between pratfalls should keep the parents happy. Raja Gosnell's (BIG MOMMA'S HOUSE) direction seems to be working overtime to provide something fun for every age, and he mostly succeeds. And any film with Linda Hunt as a martini-swilling housekeeper can't be all bad. [More]

Regardless of a distinct lack of romantic chemistry between Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo, the able-bodied actors fulfill the slapstick demands of this run-of-the-mill family comedy based on the 1968 movie with Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball.

Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo follow wearily in the footsteps of Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball in this asinine remake.

The secret to the film's modest success can be summed up in five words: Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo.

I'm partial to Quaid and Russo, but there are limits.

The film is directed in typically dull, overblown, idiotic fashion by Raja Gosnell, the man responsible for Big Momma's House and both of the Scooby-Doo movies.

This sloppy, gooey, indigestible holiday pudding is guaranteed to make you long for the gritty realism and hard-hitting domestic drama of The Brady Bunch and Eight Is Enough.

Raja Gosnell's direction follows the first rule of slapstick: If actor stuck with nothing to do, have them fall in vat of goo.

A movie that somehow manages to be both irritatingly familiar and instantly forgettable.

You know you're in trouble when even the trailer doesn't contain any laughs [and this] is a disaster from beginning to end ...

As full of corn as a wheatfield in Kansas, Yours Mine and Ours is simply not good enough as a movie for 6 %u2013 12 year olds, and not only is it boring for them, it is boring for their parents or aunts or grannies who take them along.

While it seems obvious that small children will delight to the relentlessly broad hijinks, the film is essentially a dead zone of comedic set-pieces and contrived situations.

This Cheaper-by-the-Dozening of the 1968 comedy is astoundingly unfunny.

Shadows on the Wall

A noxious and gratingly insincere feature-length sitcom that'll have you stampeding toward the closest bottle of aspirin. (Or arsenic.)

If Yours, Mine and Ours were nothing more than an 88-minute compilation of corporate logos, we’d all be a lot better off from an entertainment perspective.

A suburban nightmare of screaming, scheming children, Yours, Mine and Ours can make the stoutest adults abandon thoughts of becoming parents.
