About This Movie

So, 'Cheaper by the Dozen' is a pretty fun family flick from 2003. Directed by Shawn Levy, it has that light-hearted but chaotic vibe that really captures the essence of a big family trying to find their groove in a new city. The pacing is brisk, which works well given the constant hustle of the Baker kids. Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt bring a nice balance, their chemistry feels genuine, even if it leans on the family-friendly side of humor. The practical effects in some scenes, especially during the chaotic family moments, add a nice touch without feeling overly CGI’ed. It's not groundbreaking, but it definitely hits those relatable family themes well enough.

Released on DVD in 2004, includes deleted scenes. · Filmed in various Chicago locations for authenticity. · Steve Martin's family film performance is a standout.
