Good comedy is derived from the characters, but this film doesn't establish its characters well enough to be effective on that level.

This is a movie that knows its audience and realizes it doesn't need much of a story to hit that audience, literally, where it lives.

Remake bears no resemblance to the 1950 original.

It's not that Cheaper by the Dozen is awful. Worse than that, it's just plain dull.

What a lovely surprise: beyond the gloss of this formulaic Hollywood comedy about the importance of family, lies a heart-felt and hilarious treasure chest filled with home truths.

It's not just a feel-good holiday movie, though audiences, especially youngsters, will certainly walk out of it feeling good.

Martin and Hunt give the production a mellow warmth. And Levy has cast an appealingly diverse bunch of kids to play the young Bakers.

The children (including creepy Hilary Duff) are 12 shades of dreadful.

We are not only asked to find the barbarian Baker brood a model of familial loyalty and unconditional devotion, we're also asked to regard with contempt everyone else who does not share the Bakers' unbridled consumerist anarchy.

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.

So calculatedly cast with popular kid stars that it seems a focus group was guiding all the choices.
