CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN!!! 2Review created: 09/08/06

I guess it's been a long time since Steve played the banjo on the Muppet Show. I have really enjoyed some of Steve's movies..."Roxanne", "Being There", etc. but he seems to have lost his touch in this one.
This movie is still very watchable mind you, but the "former" Steve is missing. It seems there were too many gags (ie; dog & crotch, dangling from balcony) and not enough real comedy like we're used to from Steve (such as the nose jokes in Roxanne).
Also this movie has nothing to do with the 1950 "Cheaper by the Dozen" (or it's original sequel "Belles on Their Toes")...other than 12 kids of course. It seemed more akin to "The Great Outdoors" or "Meatballs".
There were some cute scenes however: The two kids crush & the dads both spying on them in the theatre, and nearly giving birth in a canoe I found amusing. It would have been a lot more amusing had she actually given birth in the canoe though.
Oddly my favourite actress in this was the little girl (can't remember her name right now) who had the crush on the little boy. She was really cute and engaging. I hope she appears in more movies.
Thankfully, I did not pay money to see this (thanks to the wonders of bittorrent) But I will definitely be buying the DVD. It is a good family movie, just not up to my expectations for Steve Martin.
Possibly I should not endorse downloading, but movie-going is difficult where I live as it entails a long, costly ferry trip. Otherwise I probably would have seen this in a theatre

Cheaper by the dozen 1 & 2Review created: 11/04/08
by:
I have 3 kids all vary in ages from 3 - 12. They all loved these film. Even I enjoyed watcing it with them. There is never a dull moment and it will have you laughing histerically all they way through. Steve MArtin is just so funny, I wished they would make more of these films. Great for a sleepover movie or a rainy day in. The kids gave these movies 5 stars.

Steve Martin filmsReview created: 14/02/08
by:
I am a big fan of Steve Martin films; he always manages to combine humour-sometimes zany madness-and then surprises with gentle observations on human behaviour, and the intricacies of relationships within the family. He is clever, informed and witty, and I consider these two films to be good examples of this.
If you enjoyed Father of the Bride, and like feel-good films, then this is for you.

VERY GOOD KIDS LOVE IT!Great films very funny well worth watching, steve martin is a very funny actor, you know if he is in it its going to be funny, does have a bit of american naffness, which seems to be the order of the day with every follow up film these days, but still funny, buy it!!
