Cheaper by the Dozen Sees Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt thrust together as the parents of 12 rambunctious kids. I can't deny that they both play their respect roles convincingly and Martin is typically slap-stick and humorous throughout.
I just found the idea and the execution a little dull and predictable, and it could definitely have been funnier. No single person or thing lets this film down at all, it just feels boring and tired after only 30 minutes of viewing, which means you'll probably be waiting for it to end for over an hour.
I'm sure it has an audience who will love it, but seriously if you want a good family comedy, try 'Freaky Friday' 'Elf' or 'Bend it like Beckham' to name just a few.
Not awful, but trying it's damnedest to get there 5/10
