Movie Reviews of Cheaper by the Dozen 2Movie Review: Watch it and see if you don't like the Murtaughs better than the Bakers Summary: 5 Stars
Eugene Levy makes this movie. While you watch it, you'll end up laughing at all the parts he is in. Steve Martin isn't nearly as funny as Levy is in this movie. The movie attempts to get you to dislike the Murtaughs (Levy) and side with the Bakers(Martin). As you watch it, you'll find yourself thinking "The Bakers are complete slackers and screw ups while the Murtaughs are actually smart, funny, hardworking people". The Baker mom is a complete moron. She is the worst mother in the world. Martin is the worst father in the world. So why are we supposed to like the Bakers? I'd rather hang with the Murtaughs any day of the week. Watch and you'll agree.
Summary of Cheaper by the Dozen 2Steve Martin is funnier than ever in this hilarious sequel! Tom Baker (Steve Martin) and wife Kate (Bonnie Hunt) bring their clan together for a memorable summer getaway. But their dream vacation turns into an outrageous competition with the overachieving, overzealous family of Tom's long-time rival, Jimmy Murtaugh (Eugene Levy). Featuring all the original Baker kids, including Hilary Duff, Tom Welling and Piper Perabo, this super-sized comedy is fun for the whole family! The best performance in Cheaper by the Dozen 2 is by an actress you've probably never heard of: 11-year-old Alyson Stoner, who plays Sarah, one of twelve children of Tom and Kate Baker (Steve Martin, Bowfinger, and Bonnie Hunt, Return to Me). The movie follows the popular clan of the previous remake of Cheaper by the Dozen as they go to a camp in the mountains, where Tom renews his rivalry with Jimmy Murtaugh (Eugene Levy, Bringing Down the House). To the movie's credit, it doesn't quite degenerate into a National Lampoon's Vacation knock-off, though it comes perilously close. But thanks to the grace of Bonnie Hunt and general good spirits of the cast of kids (including Tom Welling, Smallville; Hilary Duff, The Perfect Man, who in some scenes becomes uncomfortably Lolita-esque; and Piper Perabo, Coyote Ugly, among others), this unnecessary sequel manages to remain enjoyable to anyone with a taste for broad family movies. But Stoner--as a tomboy getting her first crush--brings considerable charisma to her generically-written part, and her scenes give the movie a much-needed emotional lift. Otherwise, it's a movie in which Carmen Electra plays the voice of reason (in a series of tight-fitting tops). --Bret Fetzer
