Leave your thoughts about Cheaper by the Dozen 2.
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanA cheerless sequel to an uninspired remake, Cheaper by the Dozen 2 is, at best, well timed to serve as a backup baby-sitter during the hectic days of winter break. |
| Denver Rocky Mountain NewsMark WolfCheaper By the Dozen 2 dishes sweetness and sentimentality in holiday-sized portions. It has its heart in the right place. Too bad it only fitfully locates its funny bone. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderI wanted to watch one of the great comic geniuses of the last 50 years make me laugh, and I got stuck watching Steve Martin in a wetsuit being dragged behind a boat. Life's full of disappointments, isn't it? |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsCheaper by the Dozen 2 is simply a case of plastic characters jumbled together with a contrived script, shoved in a Hollywood comedy oven with the timer bell ignored. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWhat I liked the most about the second "Dozen," was another performance, the one by Alyson Stoner as their daughter Sarah. As a girl poised on the first scary steps of adolescence, she finds the kind of vulnerability and shy hope that Reese Witherspoon projected in "The Man in the Moon." |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasA family comedy that is actually involving, even believable, and manages to be pretty funny too. |
| Supercala.comJohn VenableWhen a film makes $190M at the box office, you have to expect a sequel. This one is just as good as the first...actually a little better. |
| Richmond Times-DispatchMike WardWatching Steve Martin in Cheaper by the Dozen 2 is like watching Emeril manning the kitchen at Arbys. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionBob LonginoAll the characters get in fights but, SPOILER ALERT, everything ends with hugs, violins, good wishes and warm hearts. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongCute kids. Harried fathers. Wise, understanding mothers. Some stupid pet tricks. A little girl falls in love. Over-protective father messes things up. Money isn't everything. Tender moments. And lots of pratfalls. |
