Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism
Bereamic Awesome Movie
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Movieman My sum up words for this movie are: bucket please! Me and my friend watched this movie, just for a bit of fun. That's two and a half hours of our life that we never got back.This was just disgusting. The only thing worse than the storyboard was the acting. Definitely Steve Martin's worst film. The kids were disgusting little brats, who each didn't get a fair part each in this movie. The mum... yuck! The dad... weird! The kids... disgusting!This movie had many fatal flaws. Here they are: 1. The kids did not get equal parts in this film. 2. There are times when it is rude and offensive. 3. This movie did not make sense. 4. It is a disgrace to the book 'Cheaper By The Dozen'.To conclude my review, it is a definite 1 star performance. If I could give this O stars I would. I definitely do not recommend this movie to you. This resulted in my friend being sick. Hope you're happy, Shawn Levy.
Armand I do not know the original. but this film is really good. for courage to work with children. for Steve Martin and his performance. and, sure, for the science of director to cover every expectation of different public. a bitter comedy about family values, an inspired show of chaos and feelings, easy, nice and, in same time, almost profound for the problem of large family in present time. heart - extraordinary cast. and art to use each actor as smart ingredient ( case of Tom Welling or Ashton Kutcher is obvious ).result - a brave honest work. and a great show. remarkable and comfortable, funny and credible, picture of special adventure with warm moralistic end.
Joseph Akers Have you ever needed a movie where you just need to take a breath and relax? Well, Cheaper by the Dozen is your answer. It is packed with comedy that will blow the family away and the best thing about it is it's rated 'G'. So it's great for a family party. The movie is great and everyone acted well. The worst actor would have to be 'Bonnie Hunt' she played the mom, and didn't do really well as her. The best actor would have had to be 'Steve Martin' and 'Hilary Duff' as they put a great effort into the movie. The storyline and plot was fantastic but the humour needed a bit more improvement, they needed more talking comedy not hurting comedy. The movie is great and it is good to see with your mates or whomever it may concern
studioAT Steve Martin much like Eddie Murphy has had a second lease of life by doing this sort of family comedy fare and actually makes a decent job of playing a father surrounded by 12 very different children.There isn't really that much in the way of plot and many of the children blend into the background with Hillary Duff and Tom Welling being the only standouts and instead this film lets Martin play to his strengths as a big and physical comedian wife on screen wife Bonnie Hunt merely just playing the straight woman to his buffoonery.This film has far more laugh out loud moments than the sequel that followed it and is well worth hunting out to see a good performance from Martin and some nice family entertainment.
