      Critics Consensus

      A sequel to a remake, Cheaper 2 wastes its solid cast in scenes of over-the-top, predictable humor.

      Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader There's a discernible lack of enthusiasm from almost everyone involved, and Duff, who's gone from wholesome to haggard in two short years, is flat-out scary. Mar 6, 2007 Full Review Desson Thomson Washington Post This is definitely a family trip to stay home and skip. Feb 3, 2007 Full Review Peter Travers Rolling Stone There's something pernicious about a toxic mix of sitcom and snickering sex jokes getting packaged and effectively sold as wholesome fun for the family. Rated: 1/4 Nov 24, 2006 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a sequel that does, for the most part, fall right in line with its watchable yet unspectacular predecessor... Rated: 2.5/4 May 19, 2024 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: C- Jan 29, 2013 Full Review Joshua Starnes ComingSoon.net Cheaper by the Dozen 2 is so incredibly bland and by the numbers it's painful to watch ... it's just a collection of unfunny moments that are both uninteresting and annoying. Rated: 3/10 Mar 18, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

      Daniel M It was an enjoyable comedy but nothing super special. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/16/23 Full Review Red T About as Ok as the first but not as charming. The acting is ok. Steve Martin doesn't get as much attention and isn't as charming as the first. None of the new family has much depth to them either but everyone is perfectly acceptable. The cinematography at the lake is ok and has the same basic camerawork as the first. The music, editing and pacing are pretty much the exact same as the first. While it's less charming there is more character development but there is also not a lot of focus because if there was too many characters before than there is definitely way too many new ones. This works for and against the pacing. It's a quick film but there isn't much time for focus and in depth development for anyone. The jokes all fall flat as well. Honestly if you loved the first than I guess check this out or if your a big Steve Martin fan. Otherwise if you just were indifferent to the first than skip this. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Cyrus K This is without a shred of doubt the worst movie i have ever seen. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/23 Full Review abigail r This movie perfectly demonstrates the three dimensions of a family. The three dimensions are structural, functional, and relational. Structural deals with the biological and legal components. This is shown with the biological relation between all 12 kids and Kate and Tom. The functional dimension deals with how the children are raised economically. Tom was ready to give up the house all the kids grew up in and move to a new area in order to accept a job offer that offer the family more money and potentially give the kids better lives. The third dimension is relational which deals with the love aspect of family. It was clearly shown that, despite the size of the family and how hectic it can be, everyone was loved and cared for. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/01/22 Full Review kevin d One of my favorite childhood movies. The 6% rating is absolutely ridiculous. This movie deserves way better than that. 10/10 movie for me Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Moirraine C Family -- hiding things you should not -- feeling left out -- finding out you DO have something in common with others in your own family - who knew? Kudos Steve Martin for having the courage to play a father -- a decent, loving father. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/23/22 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
