Cheaper by the Dozen Movie Review 2003

Has little in common with the 1950 original, except the title and the number of kids. Mom (Hunt) and Dad (Martin) and the 12 kids have to cope with moving to Chicago while Mom goes on a book tour and Dad ponders a higher-profile coaching gig. A rather perky, old-fashioned lot, this is a brood for which the term "family values" was presumably invented. Cute in a harmless, antiseptic kind of way. Martin adds his usual bemused charm, and the kids should enjoy the sibling-induced highjinks.
