I a assuming this one is the "remake" which is NOT a remake at all. The Steve martin version I have only seen bits of it. I suppose it is okay fare for the kiddies, as long as a parent does not mind their kids watching a movie about kids who can be bratty. Ohtherwise just slapstick how dumb kind of comedy. Not horrible not great. I liked the original Cheaper By The Dozen from 1950 better and that one was about a real life family in the early 1900's

I thought this was a great family movie. Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt are great together, and the movie had Tom Welling in it for goodness sake. He's gorgeous. Despite the fact that there was a dreaded Duff disater in the movie, I think the story line made up for it.
