Remake bears no resemblance to the 1950 original.

The children (including creepy Hilary Duff) are 12 shades of dreadful.

Levy directs what amounts to an almost plotless - and entirely pointless - slice of controlled chaos as if it were an expensive pilot for a TV sitcom.

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.

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

Audience Reviews for Cheaper by the Dozen

Apr 22, 2012its really cliched and is not a real premise, not to mention really over done gags and cuteness as the primise, but for the most part, its not bad, its just not interesting for me. its more for kids who watch disney channel the for adults. at least they have something for them to focus on. i found steve martin to be funny, at time, and just out of it. its too much slapstick and is simply the plot. its more nip picking for kids, but thats not saying much.

Jun 20, 2011I always liked this film, it's good family entertainment. The practicality of it is very unbalanced. It's pretty realistic as far as the kids go as they come in all stripes, the rebellious teens, the snobby smart little girls, the one with the "dark gift", and even two sets of twins. Yet all of that is surrounded by parents (played otherwise very well by Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt) who are too busy in their childhood/college days fantasy world to care for all of them which turns the whole film unreasonably melodramatic. However, this movie will always get a positive rating from me due to the lovable cast of stars and scenes of big laughs, including Ashton Kutcher wearing meaty underwear and getting attacked by dogs.Jackson W Super Reviewer
