highly recommended

Steve Martin is funnier than ever in this hilarious sequel! Tom Baker (Steve Martin) and wife Kate (Bonnie Hunt) bring their clan together for a memorable summer getaway. But their dream vacation turns into an outrageous competition with the overachieving, overzealous family of Tom's long-time rival, Jimmy Murtaugh (Eugene Levy). Featuring all the original Baker kids, including Hilary Duff, Tom Welling and Piper Perabo, this super-sized comedy is fun for the whole family!

Better Than The Original

A touching, heartwarming movie about family bonding with good clean comedy throughout.

The Baker's dozen are back with some interesting interaction with another large family. Rilvary and some love connections are the result.

My family and I enjoyed Cheaper by the Dozen but this sequel is even more entertaining. Fun for the whole family.

an ok film

Cheaper by the Dozen 2 is an improvement over the first one. Not a BIG improvement. Just a slightly better film.

I didn't care for how typical of a family movie this turned out to be. It also seemed like, while watching the family at that vacation place, that the only reason this movie exists is to make a few extra bucks and ride the momentum of the success of the previous movie. The writing was weak overall.

The movie is about Steve Martin (of course) who's the father of 12 children feuding with another father (of 8 kids) at this vacation place. Now, the story parts where the two fathers continued to get in their little digs because they didn't get along with each other was funny, but they really wasted some potential here for good action scenes.

An example: in one scene, Steve Martin tells his younger daughter about a plan to do something bad to the guy, but what happens? Only one above-average moment takes place involving a dog going crazy and jumping around on top of a dinner table, ruining the bad fathers "good china". It just wasn't particularly memorable writing. We were led to believe the rest of the movie would involve Steve's daughter finding ways to torment the guy, but after this scene, nothing more really happened, and the focus shifted on the daughter dating a boy around her age. Why?

Maybe they were trying to step the writing up a notch by maturing the kids. If that's the case, it's too soon for that. After all, this is only the second Cheaper by the Dozen movie. Wait until a third one, if one actually happens.

However, at least this time around, we actually care about the kids. Last time it felt like the kids were only there for Steve Martin to have fun with. Unfortunately the daughter of the other father looked exactly like the guys wife, and so throughout the movie I was constantly asking myself "who is who?" Seriously, both the daughter and the wife of the man (her stepmom) look alike.

I really did like the scene involving Steve Martin and the other father at the movie theater spying on their children who were dating each other. This was a really funny scene. I loved it.

Overall, not a bad family movie, but the film was too short overall, and needed more comedy bits to really boost up the rating.

Cute, but not a great sequal

I liked the first one, this one was trying too hard to repeat the pattern and it just didn't flow. 22 kids, what's the point, you didn't have enough time in this movie to develop all of the characters and boiled down to about 10 characters in the movie that anybody was really interested in what was going on with them. It was fun to watch once, but not really a good movie to keep in the collection.

Good family movie(DVD)

I bought part one a long time ago and now I just bought two.

I saw it in the theater and enjoyed it but didn't bought it for a long time.

I just receieved and watched. It is not incredible but from time to time, I think I will watch this film. Good as part one.

The picture quality is good.

Nice DVD.
