      Nell Minow Common Sense Media Remake bears no resemblance to the 1950 original. Rated: 2/5 Dec 22, 2010 Full Review Xan Brooks Guardian The children (including creepy Hilary Duff) are 12 shades of dreadful. Rated: 1/5 Jan 27, 2007 Full Review Time Out 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. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) My least favorite performance from Steve Martin. Nov 27, 2020 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy This dirty Dozen is incompetent at every turn and shameless on every level. Rated: 1/4 Dec 18, 2019 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Although flawed and far-flung from the original film, Cheaper is still a sweetly saccharine alternative to some of the "heavier" films out there this holiday season, that does have some very funny family moments.

      Ciaran S This is one those movies that exists.....and why yet why am i not surprised that this was a remake of the 1950 version? Although Cheaper By The Dozen can have it's heartwarming moments i doesn't change the fact that it's a terrible movie with a cheap story, weak script, sub-par acting and including some of the worst comedy i've seen since Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Daniel M Average comedy movie with a good vibe with its fun moments Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/09/23 Full Review Nikita P Let me start with a warning: If you are not in love with the idea of having kids then this movie might trigger you. It has not one but 12 kids creating what you expect - chaos. It scares you as they show how difficult it is to live your dreams and career after having kids. Overall, a fine one-time watch. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/26/23 Full Review R C 2003 nostalgia had me loving it then and now. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/08/23 Full Review Jeffrey M Cheaper by the Dozen was a very disappoint movie. It was not bad, but it was not good either. I thought that this movie would be better, but it turns out I watched this movie before and I have bad memories of it. Also Steve Martin was not that funny. In the last Steve Martin movie I watched ( The Pink Panther ) Steve Martin was HILARIOUS, but in this movie he wasn't that funny. Cheaper by the Dozen was not what I hopped for. I give this movie a 45%. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Oliver L Possibly the worst movie i have ever seen Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
