Cheaper by the Dozen Sees Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt thrust together as the parents of 12 rambunctious kids. I can't deny that they both play their respect roles convincingly and Martin is typically slap-stick and humorous throughout.

I just found the idea and the execution a little dull and predictable, and it could definitely have been funnier. No single person or thing lets this film down at all, it just feels boring and tired after only 30 minutes of viewing, which means you'll probably be waiting for it to end for over an hour.

I'm sure it has an audience who will love it, but seriously if you want a good family comedy, try 'Freaky Friday' 'Elf' or 'Bend it like Beckham' to name just a few.

Not awful, but trying it's damnedest to get there 5/10

As a child, I read and loved the book, "Cheaper by the dozen", so I rented the movie expecting an on-screen adaptation of the book. I think the only similarities are the title, and the fact that they have 12 kids. The movie does the book a huge injustice.

Expectations aside, the movie had some plot holes, but I would have appreciated this kind of film if I was a parent looking for a family film. It reminded me of the old Disney classics my family rented when I was growing up. I'm sure that kids would love the mess and destruction that seemed to be the focal point of the movie. They tried to cram too many sub-plots into it when they could have focused strictly on the family dynamics and had a great movie.

I'm just glad I rented it and didn't spend $$ at the theater.

I love this rambunctious family comedy just how it is. I noticed it got a lot of hate which is unfortunate & Steve Martin really did an outstanding job in my opinion. I think it's heartwarming & fun in many ways; it's good to appreciate things the way they are instead of what isn't.
