Nell Minow Common Sense Media Remake bears no resemblance to the 1950 original. Rated: 2/5 Dec 22, 2010 Full Review Xan Brooks Guardian The children (including creepy Hilary Duff) are 12 shades of dreadful. Rated: 1/5 Jan 27, 2007 Full Review Time Out Levy directs what amounts to an almost plotless - and entirely pointless - slice of controlled chaos as if it were an expensive pilot for a 온라인카지노추천 sitcom. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) My least favorite performance from Steve Martin. Nov 27, 2020 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy This dirty Dozen is incompetent at every turn and shameless on every level. Rated: 1/4 Dec 18, 2019 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Although flawed and far-flung from the original film, Cheaper is still a sweetly saccharine alternative to some of the "heavier" films out there this holiday season, that does have some very funny family moments.

HameZz O Don't see why people dislike this movie so much. Even if it is a little cringe it still feels wholesome in the end. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Dave C Some obvious, predictable humour in a story that runs along the same tracks. It is cut from a similar cloth to the Father of the Bride. There are some good, wholesome comedy moments, mind, which does make it enjoyable Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/14/25 Full Review Alexander S Cheaper by the Dozen, for its premise, boasts a winning family dynamic and positive performances from Steve Martin and the rest of its renowned cast members. This family film is a delightful choice for those seeking a lighter and more enjoyable family comedy. However, it may not be the best fit for those who find the film’s excessive silliness and toilet humor, which is tailored to a younger audience, to be overly simplistic and crude. Grading: B- Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review Diamond R This movie is so good not as good as the second one in my opinion but is still good 👍 it’s family friendly and a classic it’s nice to watch and I didn’t get bored while watching 100% recommended Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Esme G In my opinion, is is actually a decent film. Despite the low rating it is a decent film. Isn’t my favourite but not entirely bad. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Ed R Family fun humor to make everyone laugh. Star studded talent. A decent watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
