	"Cheaper by the Dozen" (2003) / a review and/or comments from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		The other scene that got to me was the one towards the end of the film when the family (mom and all 12 kids) hold up a sign "We Love The Coach" to show the dad that they love and support him, no matter what happens.
		One last great thing that I appreciated was the fact that this film shows the need that children have for both their parents.
		Negative elements - Near the beginning of the film there was a small conversation among the kids where Hillary Duff’s character (Loraine) talked about how Christmas is a sad holiday because it’s when Jesus died, which leads other kids to “correct” her.

	Cheaper By The Dozen : Joel Wicklund : Film - Centerstage Chicago
		Not knowing the book or the earlier film, I can only say this “Cheaper by the Dozen” seems less inspired by literature or cinema than fast food.
		Cheaper By The Dozen : Joel Wicklund : Film - Centerstage Chicago
		So with those low expectations, I was pleasantly surprised that “Cheaper by the Dozen” is not as tortuous to sit through as I feared.

	Cheaper by the Dozen 2 Movie Review - Cheaper by the Dozen 2 Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
		Any resemblance to the original 1948 bestseller ''Cheaper by the Dozen" and the ensuing 1950 movie has long been obliterated by the needs of the marketplace: The DVD player in your den is hungry, and this movie means to feed it.
		Noisy, silly, gratingly upbeat, and piously sentimental, ''Cheaper by the Dozen 2" is what passes for wholesome family entertainment these days.
		A dad is a terrible thing to waste, and ''Cheaper by the Dozen 2" is one vast, cheery wasteland.

	Cheaper by the Dozen (2003): Steve Martin, Bonnie Hunt, Tom Welling, Hilary Duff - PopMatters Film Review
		Cheaper by the Dozen is supposed to be about the joys and difficulties of a large family, but its clutter only makes us feel that we are spread too thin by watching it.
		As in the first film, this premise -- that Catherine's plot is a series of lies -- is mildly interesting.
		Sometimes, the film seems a lengthy Bjork music video -- confusing, beautiful, and somewhat ridiculous.

	FilmJerk.com - Film Review: Cheaper by the Dozen 2
		The first “Cheaper by the Dozen” was a family film nightmare of obnoxious kids and awful direction.
		The original “Dozen” was a film based around pranks the kids pulled on those they didn’t like, or just those they got in the way.
		Of course, Shankman beats all honest heartache into the ground with an overactive score and abuse of close-ups, but the mere appearance of a genuine feeling in a film as plastic as this is cause enough to crack open the champagne and jitterbug.

	Cheaper by the Dozen 2 Listing at Box Office Prophets
		The average family household has 1.87 children, but as we learned from Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt in the 2003 family film Cheaper by the Dozen, sometimes it's a whole lot of fun to be a part of a much larger group.

		Cheaper by the Dozen was a top-notch success, surprising forecasters as it opened to $27.5 million for its December debut.

	Cheaper by the Dozen (2003) review by the Jackass Critics
		Cheaper by the Dozen is a remake of a 1950 film, which was based on a 1949 novel by Frank B. Gilbreth, Jr.
		And the film's final message is that it's better to be poor and happy than to live comfortably and be stressed.
		The law of averages says that of the dozen children, at least one would be calm and abiding, but not in Hollywood.

	Cheaper by the Dozen (2003)
		Directed without a single ounce of comic flair by over-employed hack Shawn Levy (Just Married), Cheaper by the Dozen is a cringe-inducing mixture of tired slapstick and gooey sentimentality.
		Whatever his reason for starring in Cheaper by the Dozen, Martin and co-star Bonnie Hunt do little but beam and shake their heads at the "antics" of their unruly brood, who run roughshod over everyone and everything in their path, including the audience.
		Very loosely based on the 1950 film starring Clifton Webb and Myrna Loy, Levy's remake is narrated by Kate Baker (Hunt), a writer and full-time mother to 12 children ranging in age from 22 to four.

	Cheaper by the Dozen (2003): Reviews
		i think cheaper by the dozen is the best movie ever i love jacob smith and tom welling i think they were costed perfcetly.
		Cheaper entertains a broad audience by recalling an age of family filmmaking when that term wasn’t synonymous with crap.
		The film works best when it taps into the chaos generated by the kids, and there are a number of suitably anarchic Home Alone-style set-pieces.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Cheaper by the Dozen 2
		From Parenthood to the Father of the Bride remake and sequel to 2003’s Cheaper by the Dozen, the man who began his career as a brilliant, absurdist comic has defined himself as a soft, weepy dad, running through a thousand family-film clichés.
		Screenwriter Sam Harper wrote a lovable family film with his first attempt, Rookie of the Year, but his Cheaper by the Dozen efforts lack all ingenuity and vitality.
		Cheaper by the Dozen 2 rehashes it all with no presence of originality or humor.

	Cheaper by the Dozen... 12 laughs!
		While Cheaper By the Dozen is based on both the real lives of the Gilbreth family and the original 1950 film Cheaper by the Dozen, this Shawn Levy directed Ensemble film takes more liberties than John Ashcroft on Amphetamines and essentially makes the story a brand new product.
		Cheaper by the Dozen (2003) Reviewed by J.C. Maçek III who is solely responsible for his own views and for the Blah Blah Blah....
		While this could be a big minus-sign in the rating column for this film, in fact, there are a lot of laughs to be had here, and there are a lot of moments where the kids in the audience look happier than John Ashcroft with Amphetamines.

		Cheaper By the Dozen appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Cheaper doesn’t present much of a plot, as it mainly follows the family’s issues in their new setting and how those affect them.

	Cheaper by the Dozen (2003)
		While the CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN opening titles credit the authors of the best-selling book the original 1950 film was based on (Frank B. Gilbreth Jr.
		The film was such a success that two sequels were made, and Webb would do several more 'family' comedies before his death in 1966.
		Ultimately, the film makers erred, I believe, in using the title of the earlier film, but not in the approach of making a 'family-friendly' comedy about a household of massive proportions.

	Cheaper by the Dozen (2003) - A Review by David Nusair
		With family films of this sort, such instances of maudlin preaching are to be expected - but Cheaper by the Dozen is jam-packed with so-called tender sequences, virtually to the point where it makes Full House look edgy by comparison.
		Cheaper by the Dozen, an update of the 1950s family film, suffers from just that predicament.
		While Cheaper by the Dozen is essentially entertaining in a mindless sort of way, it probably would've worked a whole lot better had the sentimental moments been left to a minimum.

	Borders - Store Inventory - Title Detail - Cheaper By the Dozen (2003)
		Description: The original Cheaper by the Dozen came out in 1950; based on a true story, it was basically about the end of an era.
		If this version of Cheaper by the Dozen is really "about" anything, it appears to be about marketing, featuring appearances by popular TV stars Hilary Duff, Tom Welling (Smallville), and an uncredited Ashton Kutcher.
		Okay, some of them are cute, but it's indicative of the film's shoddy efforts at characterization that, at the end of the film, when one boy mentions that two of his siblings hate each other, it comes as a total surprise to the audience that just spent 90 minutes with them.

	slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Cheaper by the Dozen
		he only thing more outdated than Cheaper by the Dozen's soundtrack—which features 1992 pop hits "Life Is A Highway" by Tom Cochrane and "These Are Days" by 10,000 Maniacs—is its hokey life lessons concerning the importance of family over career.
		The film's '50s ideals decry careers as dangerous nuisances that interfere with one's ability to properly manage a household, thereby completely disregarding—save for a phony epilogue—the fact that family and professional lives are (duh!) frequently compatible.
		Of course, since the Bakers eagerly chose to inundate themselves with 12 children, one can also see the film's conclusion as a refreshing rebuke to these narcissistic parents and their naïve dream of having a life outside the messy family they created.

	TheMovieBoy Review - Cheaper By The Dozen (2003)
		Syrupy, dumb, and desperately unfunny (I laughed once, and that was during the end-credits blooper reel), "Cheaper by the Dozen" is the worst family film of the year, a sub-sitcom-level failure as abhorrent as it is half-baked.
		Directed by Shawn Levy (2003's "Just Married"), "Cheaper by the Dozen" purports to being a realistic, humor-filled look at raising kids, yet goes so far in the opposite direction it might as well be set on a different planet.
		In a smart film, one that did not hold its audience in contempt, Lorraine would have spoken up and offered to help her father herself.

	Cheaper by the Dozen - PittsburghLIVE.com
		Yeah, there's always Martin to watch, and "Cheaper by the Dozen" is the sort of multiplex comedy that sustains the box-office side of a career.
		The original film was an inspired evocation of 1920s Americana in which a loving family adhered to the dictates of the efficiency-expert father, modified by their psychologist-mother.
		Midway through the film, one child complains that all the father cares about is his career, which should bewilder the audience because up to this point Tom has hardly spent a moment of screen time away from the family.

	Movie Photos: Cheaper by the Dozen
		A remake of the 1950 film with Steve Martin playing the Clifton Webb part of the father of an extra large, economy-sized family, CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN is directed with gusto by Shawn Levy (BIG FAT LIAR).
		If your post-holiday shopping includes looking for a fun family film that'll have your brood laughing no matter what their ages, then the movie for you this Christmas season is CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN.
		The film is rated PG for "language and some thematic elements" and would be acceptable for all ages.

	IGN: Cheaper by the Dozen (2003) Review
		Cheaper by the Dozen is presented in both 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen on one side of the disc and fullscreen on the opposite side.
		Cheaper By The Dozen comes in an Amaray case with no insert, and it's two-sided, with the full screen and widescreen versions.
		While the 1950 Clifton Webb version of this film was one unrealistic extreme, where the father was flawless and the kids were all perfectly behaved, the 2003 version follows all the cliches.

		CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN was a love letter to large families.
		While other productions based in Toronto were stuck in the city amid record-breaking heat and humidity, many of the cast and crew of CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN 2 spent their off-time swimming, bouncing on a water trampoline and jet-skiing at beautiful Stoney Lake, a rustic area northeast of the city.

		Cheaper by the Dozen is kid-friendly, market-researched drivel, from the rudimentary conflicts to the pinup adolescent cast (including Smallville's hunky Tom Welling as a corn-country rebel and an insufferable Hilary Duff as a bathroom-hogging young blonde).
		We currently have no movie times for Cheaper by the Dozen (2003).
