Calum Marsh

The ensemble of children has a natural, authentic-seeming rapport, and Braff and Union, as the beleaguered but loving parents, have an easy, irresistible chemistry, buzzing with big-hearted charisma every time they share the screen. Read full review

Zach Braff and Gabrielle Union are great pillars here, though the film itself isn't consistent enough with its tone, snapping back and forth between sweet sentiment and cheap gags. Read full review

The Guardian Adrian Horton

Braff and Union have passable chemistry, but Union’s charisma and confidence is magnetic in any context including this one. It’s all breezy – there are no bad actors or malicious intent (other than that one Calabasas woman), so the drama is light and the messes are quickly cleaned up. Read full review

This new adaptation’s noteworthy commentary on poignant, timely issues is often eclipsed by predictability, superficial character development and inconsistent pacing. Read full review

The latest Cheaper by the Dozen is worse than formulaic; it is lazy and condescending to its audience. Read full review

Cheaper by the Dozen, every time it tries to walk down a thornier path, seems to be guided away by executive fiat to ensure that nothing gets too dicey. There was potential here, but it goes unrealized. Read full review

A joyless exercise in IP mining, Cheaper by the Dozen is all the more depressing for its glimpses of unfulfilled potential. Read full review

Mise-en-scene, mise-en-scene is what family movies need, proper camera movement. Being honest with iteself was the best point of this movie, the definition it gives of family, but everything is in its most ideal form.and I don't car fake comments

Clearly adapted to our current times, and that was to be expected. However it doesn't advance any substantial elements in any way with the exception that this time the lead family is not an extremely white family as in the Steve Martin-led films and the original one, therefore just worksClearly adapted to our current times, and that was to be expected. However it doesn't advance any substantial elements in any way with the exception that this time the lead family is not an extremely white family as in the Steve Martin-led films and the original one, therefore just works over the Disney's safe formula. Coherent in its systematic style, but as predictable and inconsistent as you would expect from a story like this.… Expand

It’s sad when a favorite actor is in a movie this overwrought and melodramatic. None of the kids can act, and the lines they are provided don’t even fit with their characters. Memes are decades out of place, it’s condescending on all levels, and fits strongly in the category of “Did not earnIt’s sad when a favorite actor is in a movie this overwrought and melodramatic. None of the kids can act, and the lines they are provided don’t even fit with their characters. Memes are decades out of place, it’s condescending on all levels, and fits strongly in the category of “Did not earn the remake reasoning” And most damning, as they tried to fit in every version of discriminated classes into one family, they made 2-dimensional versions of all. Not even enjoyable as a background movie, because you look up, hoping you might see something interesting , and it turns out to be a black kid dressed as biker goth.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is terrible. First it has cringe moments like mentioning TikTok, to poor narrating, to cringe moments overall. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. They even called there basketball team the wildcats, like I've never seen that name before. They even had a Karen bit at the beginning… Expand

It didn't go to theaters for a reason.

Quite possibly one of the worst remakes I have ever seen.
