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 |
