THIS MOVIE SUCKED OUT LOUD!

UGH! this movie was one of the worst movies EVER! HILARY DUFF SHOULD DIE! i hate how hollywood puts out movies nowadays almost as bad as the discrace to the name of indians, BOLLYWOOD! i HATE this movie with all the fibers of my being! IT'S STUPID AND TASTELESS and EXACTLY like the one before it! i'm SORRY i had to be polite and patiently see it with my 4 year old niece, who obviously isn't very educated in movies.i CAN'T BELIEVE how a movie could suck this much in acting, plotline, direction, and overall taste.this movie was a disgrace to american society.i hope i've given you something to think about.

Worst movie EVER

Don't waste your time or MONEY on this piece of cr*p. I thought itwould never end, not one thing in it was remotely funny and seeingHilary Duff---aka sleaze bag made me sick to even watch. I would ofwalked out of the movie but hubby was with me. I hate Hilary anyway andthought that hopefully like the first one she wouldn't be in it muchbut the first few minutes set the pace. All her "acting" abilitiesamount to her smiling and acting phony and it was a huge task evengetting through a scene without screaming in agony. Boy some peoplehave not one ounce of talent and get praise. Talk about your overratedactresses and I use that term mildly for she is NO ACTRESS. Don't goand save yourself the money and the time-the 100 min seemed like 4hours.

Pretty Good

I thought the movie was pretty good, and that the critics were maybe being a bit harsh. I recommend seeing it despite what they say. My friends and I enjoyed it and it is great for laughs.

Running a painfully long 100 minutes, the movie is made up of a tiresome series of predicable, slapstick moments.

Garth Franklin 2012-05-17 07:56:19

A sequel every bit as bland, forced and flat as the generic 2003 comedy which spawned it.

Don't listen to the critics--this was great!

After reading the critics' reviews, I wasn't expecting much when my 10-yr. old wanted to take a friend with her to see this sequel. To my pleasant surprise, it was a thoroughly enjoyable movie! In fact, she and her friend argued about which was better, the first movie or this sequel. Even my hard to please husband lauged outloud the whole movie! Very entertaining!

Cute, harmless fluff for the whole family

Films like these aren't made to be art, or classics for the ages. Theyare made to be fun fluff that parents can take their kids to, and notwant to chew off their arm while watching it. CBTD2 succeeds on thatscore. Nothing earth shattering here, and the script is weaker then theoriginal. But Martin, Hunt and Levy pull off some decent laughs. Andthe Carmen Electra character is surprisingly interesting andrespectfully written.For eye candy, the girls (and some guys?) couldn't ask for more thenTom Welling, even if his role is disappointingly small. On theflipside, Hilary Duff looks too thin and sickly, and barely registersin the film at all.

ONLY for kids

I am a big fan of Steve Martin and Eugene Levy,but I did not enjoy inthis movie.Because it is a bit too-light hearted for me,and I expectedsome really funny jokes but I did get that.It is not a comedy it is apredictable family movie which is good for kids.Because all the kidsaged 8 that I know enjoyed in this movie.I am a big fan of EugeneLevy,he and Martin Lawrence are my favourite comedy actors,but thisrole wasn't good for him.He and Steve Martin are great actors,but theycan't save this movie for me because i am not a fan of these kind offamily movies.This is a movie for kids,i repeat once again,and I wouldlike to say that I am looking forward to new Eugene Levy's filmsbecause I hope that they will be much much better then this familyeducational(for kids) movie.

Cheaper, not better

I enjoyed the first Cheaper by the Dozen, the second didn't get there for me. As the movie went along, the story got better. There definitely were not as many laughs in this movie, there were many lessons about families and life and what boundaries you can cross and which you don't mess with. I found some characters who shined in the first to be pretty weak in the second. Some of the family memebers were hardly in the movie or didn't really play a significant part. They really focused on only a few characters. This story was about the Baker family and their one last opportunity to have a "family vacation" before the oldest of the kids begin their new lives as adults. They go back to a vacation home where they went years ago when the kids were little and the youngest were named after the vacation spot. They get reaquainted with the neighbors who now own the land and have made a huge vacation summer home out of the area. The families get along, sort of, the kids do but the parents, mainly the two fathers don't. By the end of the movie you get the point of the movie and it really is a good story. One for kids to learn from and parents to actually get a lesson out of. A good family film that is pretty clean and fun for all. B

I liked this as much as the first one

My mom and my little sister and me watched this movie. We saw Cheaper By the Dozen 1 and really liked it. This one is good, too. Watch it. You'll like it!

Movie Magic!

At first I thought that the movie would be lame but when I watched it I was amazed that the movie was interesting and funny. This movie is fun for all ages. I personaly like it because it shows a avrage family and how in all famlies there is a joker, a prankster, a brain, a mastermind, and so on. All children will find some way to relate to this movie. All adults will be reunited with their inner child.THIS IS A MUST SEE MOVIE!

A Film worth watching

CBTD2 was worth watching.I have seen this film maybe over 10 times andit is a lot better than the first.Some performances aren't that goodbut some are the highlight of the film...Steve Martin.He was the starlike he always it,Bonnie gets a few laughs,Piper is quite annoying withhis husband and Tom is useless in his storyline.There was no point whenthey were doing that with Taylor and Alyson,which was more well...itwas better.Those scenes really showed Teenage behaviour so that wasgood.Apart from Eugene,Taylor,Carmen,Alyson,Steve,Bonnie and maybeTom,everyone was useless.The story was good but most of the characterswere not needed.Some didn't get enough lines.Some got too much.OverallCBTD2 was a good film and better than number 1.I do not think i havedone a review for 1 but i will soon i hope.

Exactly what it's supposed to be.

I took my 6 year old son, my 7 year old neice, and my 3 year old nephew to this movie. It was perfect---I was mildly entertained and they were quiet for an hour and a half or so. Perfection. The end was really sweet. This was a great movie for kids and a perfect movie for parents who want to sit and eat some popcorn in peace. The only bad thing about that movie was Hillary Duff. My neice idolizes her and it's sad to see that she caved to the skeleton people cult and lost too much weight. Bad example for her pre-teen fans. Plus, I've seen Hillary in a few movies and really want to like her but I just think she's a terrible actress.

another good one

This review is from: Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (DVD) Cheaper by the Dozen2 is pretty doggone good. It's theme is a little different than the first but it is supposed to be. The ending was surprise to me, but that is what makes movies good. I'm glad I own this one.

Great clean movie

I would highly recommend this movie to any individual with a family or who enjoys a good clean comedy.

Peter Sobczynski 2012-04-24 14:22:04

A miserable experience filled with crude slapstick, cruder sentiment and retrograde jokes.

No surprises and no disappointments either

Its just a squeaky clean family movie and you don't need to think aboutit - just sit back and be entertained....or when if comes out on DVD,you can have it on in the background while doing other stuff around thehouse - its fluff!The first one was just the same, but they seemed to use the childrenmore, however, in this one they just focused on 2 or 3 from each family(there is another large family in this movie). I felt that this was ashame, because there are so many cute characters that they could haveincluded in the the storyline. All the child actors are great, the 2kids who play the twins are particularly funny. Steve Martin & theother adult actors definitely get the best out of them.Maybe they're planning another sequel which will focus on more of thekids, that would be fine by me...I personally like this kind of movienow and then. But if you want to be mentally challenged, busting a gutlaughing or tensely kept on the edge of your seat then this definitelyisn't the movie for you!

As entertaing as the original

I found this filma s entertaing as the original. It's a good film for the whole family but it's not a great film to win any awards but it's a perfect family film. You know your not in for a great film but you'll watch it anyways and you'll enjoy it. The story is fun but not much happneds in the hour and half. The acting is good and there are laughs and corny moments. I actually enjoyed it as much as the first to make it a good sequal and I would actually like to see a third movie.

"Honey you actually bought that shirt?"

I never saw Cheaper by the Dozen (the 2003 surprise hit), and I don'tthink you have to see it so get all you can out of the sequel. That isto say, there is little to get out of it, so don't waste your time"preparing" for it. Cheaper by the Dozen 2 is a formulaic family comedywhere Steve Martin becomes a father possessed with a drive to outdoanother father, only to be reminded that his family will still love himno matter if they win the big movie-contrived competition or not. TomBaker (Steve Martin) and his wife, Kate (Bonnie Hunt) begin the movieby attending their daughter's graduation ceremony with his 11 otherkids. Lorraine's graduation (Hilary Duff, no singing this time)motivates Tom to start thinking about how the family is moving apartfrom the customary tight-knit group he remembers, so he wants to takethe family on one last vacation. So they load up the cars and vans andhead out to some lake somewhere in the Midwest (or Canada, depending onthe film's budget), a lake that has seen the evil Jimmy Murtaugh(Eugene Levy) buy up all of the land and build super lake homes on theshore. Jimmy and Tom have a history, one that is sort of dumb and isone of those back stories that can only be written for a story likethis one. I really like Eugene Levy as a comedic actor, but I don'tthink he was right for this role. Levy excels in understated humor,where his character has no idea he's being funny. The role of Jimmy isover-the-top and cliché and I didn't think he fit the role well at all.Carmen Electra plays Jimmy's wife, and she's actually very good atplaying the bimbo wife when given the chance, and the kid actors aregenerally good as well. The story is predictable and only mildlyentertaining, but I guess families will enjoy the night out and thereis a certain sweet charm to the final scenes of the film.

i liked this better than # 1

As you can see in my title, I definitely thought this was better than the first, for a few reasons. In the first one, they were having troubles with moving, feeling part of the family, parent's jobs and so on and so forth, whereas in #2, there are a lot more issues with the family all together, such as, the kids are getting older, Nora is pregnant, they want to be treated more like adults, and really more about the family staying a family and not just scattering everywhere and forgetting everything they've been through. There were a lot more great actors, plus another large family rivalry which wasn't really a family rivalry, but a father to father rivalry, which was hysterical because the kids don't really want to be rivals! I suggest this movie to any families, small or large, I can almost certainly assure you you'll like it. As to everyone else, I can't make a promise but to say that it's a real masterpiece. I envy these screen-writers!
