A little better than the first movie, but not by much. In fact, I'm not even going to change it to a higher rating than I gave the first Dozen. Instead, I'll tell you that if you want to see one of these movies, watch the second one.

I laughed many times and was moved at others. It is still weaker than it could have been, but it could be that making this for a family audience ... With 12 children and only 2 parents at a nearly run down lake side home you think some moreI laughed many times and was moved at others.

There are some good moments in this comedy sequel, but overall I found it limp and overly-predictable. Steve Martin and Eugene Levy do well as the two dads Tom and Jimmy, in fact the entire cast do well, even Carmen Electra who I can't stand.There are some good moments in this comedy sequel, but overall I found it limp and overly-predictable. Steve Martin and Eugene Levy do well as the two dads Tom and Jimmy, in fact the entire cast do well, even Carmen Electra who I can't stand. There is some nice scenery and music, and there are one or two funny parts, like the scene in the cinema and the line about the sweater. But as a sequel to an acceptable first film, it didn't score well with me. I will say it wasn't absolutely dire like I feared, but it is badly flawed. I actually found the gag reels funnier than the overall movie. The story is very predictable, and the jokes are either hits or misses, mostly misses sadly. Another problem was the very weak and clichéd script, not to mention the sluggish direction. Overall, not terrible, but it could have been better with a stronger script and less predictable story. 4/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

For those saying they hated this movie even more than the first should know that they are biased. If you didn't like the first movie (which was pretty good) don't watch the sequal, which is bound to be worse.

Martin and the whole cast give performances that force you to laugh. It makes a good family movie, because that's what the director made it for... It was a clear maketing scheme, but everyone knows that. Overall, the movie is not bad, as far as some sequels go!… Expand

Taken for what this movie was, it was okay. The family had fun and enjoyed the time spent.

I thought it was actually kind of decent. I mean...look. No, it's really not a comedy but an over-sentimental "family movie"... but at this, it was kind of successful. I don't know...it was just a "nice movie." I wouldn't I thought it was actually kind of decent. I mean...look.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone except younger kids, but I think they may actually end up liking it. Older audiences who are forced to watch it will not be completely bored. And the movie also didn't play it quite as safe as the 1st movie, introducing at least a couple jokes for an older audience. Although yeah, as a comedy, this series has failed miserably. I really think these movies would have been better with a PG-13 rating, maybe older kids, target an older audience, have more older issues and much more humor (not slapstick,) and we may have had a good franchise. At any rate, sometimes you're forced to see movies like this, and...look; it wasn't the worst thing in the world. It was actually an alright movie. It deserves at least a little credit for not being as horrible as the first Cheaper by the Dozen. Still, this great idea of a 12-kid family was wasted on sugary family movies, and it's just unfortunate. As for Steve Martin....I don't know. He tried to go back to his zany roots with Pink Panther, but this was then edited down by the studio to become (yet another) family movie. It's really not his fault, although let's hope that whatever he's in next will actually be for HIS FANS, not the kids of his fans.… Expand
