(1 - 26) of 26 OFCS Rating: 24% Rotten Page   1   "I applaud the emphasis 'Cheaper by the Dozen' places on listening to your children -- no matter how busy you are with your personal goals."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker A- "Steve Martin plays by the numbers in “Cheaper by the Dozen”… but it’s a funny family flick nevertheless."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 2/4 "It's an awfully sad day when Ashton Kutcher is the best thing about a movie."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair .5/4 "Syrupy, dumb, and desperately unfunny...Cheaper by the Dozen is the worst family film of the year, a sub-sitcom-level failure as abhorrent as it is half-baked."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 1.5/4 "Kid-friendly, market-researched drivel, from the rudimentary conflicts to the pinup adolescent cast."   City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul   Ed Gonzalez B+ "It's rare to see a film that is not just squeaky-clean in content, but in its very philosophy. The fact that it's also a funny, warm, entertaining film is almost just icing."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "If end-credit outtakes are any barometer to your chuckle output, then here is perhaps the most laughless gag reel since I dry-heaved on Bringing Down the House. "   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B- "I am hard-pressed to come up with a reason why anyone should make a special trip to see this frivolous, formulaic comedy, but I also cannot in good conscience condemn it."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/4 "Another disposable and quick-witted vehicle aimed at securing the generic feel good vibes for those begging for conveyor belt family fare that’s syrupy and indistinguishable."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng D- "Gets lousier by the minute...likely to satisfy only those who thrive on the most insipid network fare."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/10 "...the film is about children who are so selfish they ensure their parents are as unhappy as the audience."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio C "This remake is perfect holiday fare for all those families who can’t get enough of According to Jim, My Wife & Kids and Yes, Dear."   FilmStew.com   Larry Carroll "[F]limsy and obvious domestic comedy..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/3 "Not a brilliant comedy, but sturdy and reliable, with plenty of laughs."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C- "The script is slack and lazy, incapable of a satisfying resolution for even the most reliable family-movie plot devices like a mean bully or over-protective neighbors. "   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "The only thing more outdated than Cheaper by the Dozen’s soundtrack is its hokey life lessons concerning the importance of family over career."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager "'Cheaper by the Dozen' is not only one of the worst films of the year, it is also a perfect example of why so many foreign countries hate America so much."   Critic Doctor   Peter Sobczynski 2.5/5 "While the film does keep adults and kids relatively entertained, it also drifts into both lame slapstick and sappy sentimentality."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C "Good comedy is derived from the characters, but this film doesn't establish its characters well enough to be effective on that level."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten C- "An overstuffed, undernourished Brady Bunch episode, only not as funny."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 2/5 "surprisingly unpleasant"   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell B+ "Life in the Baker house is as chaotic as life in the original 1950 Cheaper Gilbreth house was well-ordered and organized. I think I like the in-name-only remake better."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 0.5/4 "Another one of those movies where everything the evil characters say is absolutely true."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw D- Read review   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf 4/10 Read review   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger Read review   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr.  (1 - 26) of 26 OFCS Rating: 24% Rotten Page   1
