Let's be realistic.

A lot of fun.

A Disappointing Continuation

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I really like this movie. It's funny, sweet, charming and involves real-life situations. I mean, not a lot of people have twelve children, but a lot do have at least one. This is such a great movie for families.This movie is about the Baker family, which consists of fourteen members, plus their dog. That's right, Mother Baker and Father Baker had twelve children. I would've stopped at ten, but what the heck :), that was a joke, by the way, it's hard to tell whilst reading. The family decide to movie from their small town in Illinois to the big city after Tom, the father, gets his dream job to coach his old universities football team. Nearly every single member of the clan don't agree with the move, and don't even bother making the best of the situation. Meanwhile, Kate, the mother, also gets her dream job. Her book about raising twelve children is published. Whilst she's away promoting the book, Tom must keep an eye on the household, which doesn't exactly go well, especially when most of the children are aged ten or younger. Target Audience: FamiliesWho will like it? Almost anyone who like comedies that aren't too over the top.Overall, I give this movie a 9 out of 10.

Cheaper by the Dozen is a good movie with a well written storyline and a talented cast.The movie is nothing hilarious or outstanding,but is certainly very fun and enjoyable,it's a good family film that contains enough jokes for both children and adults.Steve Martin is without a doubt the movies highlight and the person that holds it together from being a complete mess,although the entire child cast are actually quite good and are all of very high standards for their age.Cheaper by the Dozen is nothing fantastic,but it's still a fun ride and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good family film. While his wife is gone to New York,Tom Baker (Steve Martin) must take care of their twelve children all on his own. Best Performance: Steve Martin Worst Performance: Steven Anthony Lawrence

Did you ever notice that when you buy more than one of something it is cheaper? Well the people who made this movie certainly did. There are 12 kids instead of one kid. You can buy 12 times as much food but it doesn't cost you 12 times as much money so it totally makes sense to have twelve kids. If you have like seven kids and you meet somebody you like and they have five kids you should marry them even if you don't like them just because over all you will be pooling your money and resources together and saving valuable money. It must be hard to keep track of so many kids and it was for this guy in this movie there were all kinds of problems and funny high jinx.

Seen this so many times on DVD and I actually enjoyed this movie.The story is about a man and his wife played by Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt who are parents to not ONE but TWELVE kids (Hilary Duff,Tom Welling,Alison Stoner,Kevin G Schmidt(who looks so unrecognizable, etc)who move from their childhood home into the big city of Seattle. But none of the kids are happy about the move as they miss their old childhood home but had to move because Tom Baker(aka Martin) was promoted a job.The cast is great,the humor is nice and its a entertaining movie. Also keep an eye out for an uncredited Ashton Kutcher as Nora's boyfriend. Im giving it a 7/10
