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-ledClearly 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

Unfortunately... rather bad.

'Cheaper by the Dozen' undoubtedly has its heart in the right place but what a mess of an execution, they basically come up with as many messages as possible and cram them together - but there's one problem, they forgot the glue! It's just a sequence of points, as it culminates with a woeful, forced family drama.

The cast make it slightly more watchable than it would've otherwise been, I will say that - they aren't great, but are predominantly hindered by the lame dialogue and yawnful character development. Zach Braff and Gabrielle Union are a solid pairing, while Mykal-Michelle Harris and Leo A. Perry are the pick of the younger lot - I would've liked to have seen more of their characters, as those two definitely had the best comedic timing of the kids. Others I note: 'Talking Dead' favourite Ron Funches and 'White Chicks' alum Brittany Daniel.

The only hero from this 2022 flick? Larry Sims. That dude went ham on Union's hair - I've never noticed a character go through so many hairstyles before! Hope he got paid enough.

I feel a tiny bit bad for disliking something that tries to come out meaningful, but man this is a cringefest. If you want a film adaptation of the 1948 novel, I'd recommend the 2003 remake with Steve Martin.

Cheaper by The Dozen 2022 is a bad movie that is neither charming nor charismatic like the first film

Cheaper by the Dozen isn't as bad as I thought it would be as it’s mostly harmless, but it also isn't very good. Simply put, it feels like an extended episode of a mediocre sitcom. The child performances are inconsistent and the script isCheaper by the Dozen isn't as bad as I thought it would be as it’s mostly harmless, but it also isn't very good.

The child performances are inconsistent and the script is pretty laughable at times (writers in Hollywood really do not understand the youth of today) Expand
