I am not going to say that I loved this film because that would be a lie, and I wouldn’t want to do that to you. To be honest the trailer gave hope of the film being really good, but then again I should have known better. Like most trailers this also had most of the good scenes in the trailer so no big surprise when there was nothing better in the movie.

Anyway enough said, I would suggest if you nothing better to do the you should see.

It’s a kind of a Cheaper by the Dozen by splitting the parents and giving them both a lot of kids, as close to a dozen they could give without getting sued I guess. Making the kids completely different so that it will be funnier and more “difficult” to live together.

Overall I think that it’s a really nice, try with a lot of pranks. I believe that if this one came out before Cheaper by the Dozen then it would be an even more of a hit.

I watched this from my airplane seat, and I found it quite funny. At first I was biased about this movie because usually sequels don’t do well, with the exception of a few of course. After sitting through it and convincing my self that I can read my book another time; I can honestly say that it’s not as good as the first one (but then again no one is) but it’s sure worth watching.
