Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I have to say, I can't believe this movie is more than a decade old, almost 12 years old. I'm sure if you watched it, you wouldn't think it looked that old. Yeah, it was made before IPhones came out which are really common devices nowadays. It's hard to imagine living without them now.This movie is a movie that shows Steve Martin as a Dad with 12 kids. In real life, Steve Martin didn't have any children until much later after this movie was made, like a decade after the movie was made. The kids in the movie seem somewhat like normal kids. With all those kids, it's hard to maintain control over his household. It shows something we typically see in a lot of movies of a mom being able to keep control of the kids and household, but a Dad can't. The family in this movie also reminds me of the Heck family from the Middle. I could imagine them being cousins with the Baker family, they'd seem to fit in.This movie is a funny movie, and it shows family life. You'll laugh when you see it. The plot from this movie doesn't seem like a memorable plot. You'll remember it more for showing family life in good times and bad times and seeing Steve as a father figure. He plays his part really well.I still occasionally watch this movie if I'm up for an entertaining movie, as it will keep you entertained. If you're up for a family movie, than this is one to watch. They also came up with a Cheaper By The Dozen 2 and I've seen that movie, but it wasn't that great not really entertaining or worth your time. It just doesn't hold up quite the same as this one does. The 2nd one is more like a family vacation for comedy, and it isn't a family vacation we'd see in films like Grown Ups where that entertains you.I used to really like this movie, especially when it first came out on DVD. I listened to the kids commentary every once in awhile. I used to look at all these IMDb message boards as I remember 10 years ago in 2005, how there were lots of fanfics for this movie and the characters. Some of the fanfics would be horror while others would be just like storytelling. They entertained me. We don't seem to have those fanfics anymore.Well, again I can't believe it's been 12 years since this movie was made. The kids in the movie obviously have aged a lot since the movie was made. Like, they're basically all in their 20s except the older two and younger two. Man, time flies. It's nice to keep memories of earlier times.

Cheaper by the Dozen is a good movie with a well written storyline and a talented cast.The movie is nothing hilarious or outstanding,but is certainly very fun and enjoyable,it's a good family film that contains enough jokes for both children and adults.Steve Martin is without a doubt the movies highlight and the person that holds it together from being a complete mess,although the entire child cast are actually quite good and are all of very high standards for their age.Cheaper by the Dozen is nothing fantastic,but it's still a fun ride and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good family film. While his wife is gone to New York,Tom Baker (Steve Martin) must take care of their twelve children all on his own. Best Performance: Steve Martin Worst Performance: Steven Anthony Lawrence

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

well, this movie starts out not bad. we have a giant family. well, not exactly octomom or jon & kate, but this is a massive 12-member family. seems a peaceful family with a hardworking dad and loving and nurturing mom. although you already notice something wrong with this picture. a big family and none of the kids do any chores whatsoever. from here the movie takes a plunge. the dad takes his dream job of coaching division 1 football, not only he does it for himself, but for his family's well being. the message doesn't sit well with the kids who do ANYTHING to avoid it. notice that looks like the movie portrays the father as selfish although its the kids who don't give a damn, always whining, not obeying rules, etc. etc. and then the mom decides to pursue her dream of publishing a book. not gonna happen, with a bunch of brats and a father who cannot fend for himself. in the end, the kids get their way. in conclusion, this movie, far from giving "family values" portrays a interesting point: kids get what they want, especially if there's 12 of them. they're immature, misbehaved, bratty, whiny. among them, the older jock son who bitches about not wanting what he wants. dude, you're old enough, get a job you little prick! hilary duff, as always annoying. the parental figures, well, they were more like submissive figures. surprisingly, the best performance went to ashton kutcher, who i find usually annoying but this time his character was funny. so i see why people recommend this for the family, since it seems like this is how they raise their own families.
