Cheaper by the Dozen

This was a great film. I will not have a large family in my life, especially if I will be traveling across the country during my career.

I downloaded this movie on my daughters kindle so she could watch it on our flight to and from vacation. Kids from age 6 to 75 watched this at different times on our 5 day vacation. There were many laughs and our 6 year old liked imitating Steve Martin which kept us all laughing. Good, clean and funny movie!

Great movie for a family of preschoolers through elementary age. Didnt have to edit out anything - and was excited to see so much laughing and retelling me of their favorite highpoints later.

I try to buy a new movie for my Kindle Fire every month, and Im a big fan of some of the remakes that came out in the 80s. Ive always loved the original movie and cast, and only in the last few years learned this movie was based on a true story about the Gilbreth family. Clifton Webb and Myrna Loy are a hard act to follow but Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt are equally talented.

Good

I read a lot of the reviews here about this movie. Some of them were negative and it almost led me not to buy it. I am glad I did. I bought it for 2 reasons: Steve Martin and Tom Welling. After being a fan of Steve Martin for years and a new fan of Tom Welling, I wanted to see how they could pull this off. I think they did a good job. In an age where few good family movies are made, this is a good family movie. Steve Martin is the drive of this movie. When you have 12 kids to show, it is not easy to get all of them equal time but the writers and and directors seemed to handle the problem well and it is balanced. Yes, there are some times that are busy in this movie, but what would you expect from a family with 12 kids. The other reason I bought this was Tom Welling. This guy is growing everyday as a better actor. I hope that he will be noticed by more Hollywood execs for the talent he has and he is building. In this movie he showed that he can be funny and be the Man of Steel on TV. I think that he would have been a better choice as the new movie Superman than that other guy they hired, simply because he has more talent. I have loved Superman since I was a kid, but Superman Returns was the only movie I have watched in a theatre that made me fall asleep less than 30 minutes into it. I tried to watch it again but just couldnt, it had the same affect. Take it from a family man of three young girls. Buy the movie, get some popcorn and enjoy it. I just purchased number 2.

Great price and great movie. We bought this on DVD before going on a trip because we wouldnt have access to Netflix or other streaming services. Kids, ages 8 and 9, really enjoyed watching it with us. When we came back, we ordered Cheaper by the Dozen 2 and really enjoyed it as well.

I know a lot of people think this type of movie has no substance but why must everything we watch have meaning? I love Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt together and this is a great pick me up movie for those times you just want to laugh w/out having to analyze the plot!

Enjoyed this as a funny family movie!

Im a huge fan of Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt, and they have a believable chemistry in this charming movie about a couple raising 12 children while trying to have it all.
