Critics Consensus

Cheaper by the Dozen adds some modern twists to its oft-adapted story, but fresh laughs are few and far between.

Calum Marsh

New York Times

A big family is a strong comic premise, and Lerner takes a buoyant, energetic approach.

National Newspaper Publishers Association

It’s kinda like a movie. Kinda like a sitcom. Not really either. But its sweet emotions and modern sensibilities eventually make it endearing.

Rated: 2.5/4

Adrian Horton

Guardian

Its tone wavers even more haphazardly from kids flick to marriage portrait to slapstick comedy to stark commentary on race, without nailing any particularly well and despite endearing commitment from its performers.

Rated: 3/5

Cheaper by the Dozen is one big missed opportunity. Braff and Union are great together, but the movie wants to do too much, with too little, hindering every good opportunity it has for something awfully familiar and too predictable for its own good.

Rated: D

In this rare instance, Cheaper By the Dozen needs more time. Whether that means a longer screenplay or a change of format to a television series, there were enough interesting concepts at play to warrant more time.

Directo Gail Lerner and Barris speak the same language so the direction is tight despite some tone and thematic issues.

I love all takes on the Cheaper by the dozen movies especially loved the first in 1950. I think this one is more like the original 1950 version. Plus it has Gabrielle Union & Zac Braff cute couple with great acting abilities! Hope they have another project together again soon, with one of their production companies involved.

It's not a bad film. I think it's trying to make the story of blended families a little more culturally relevant.

I wish I could provide 0 stars for this film. There was no need for a remake. It was beyond cheesy and way too woke.

Predictably inferior, cheesier and characterized as unmemorable while also rehashing the similarly blended veins in "Yours, Mine & Ours", a decent remake nonetheless that still functions as family fun entertainment with charismatic laughs and more topical discourses, concluding with the same message after its own discourse should be taken metaphorically. Each of these films should be taken as generational expressing how big families can get and what related challenging obstacles should they overcome, thus the possible purpose of delivering this kind of scope as a picture that hasn't been taken for some time. (B)

Absolutely terrible. Worst remake in the history of the movies. In a time when people want to go to the movies to Forget About Reality, they had to shove every political narrative down your throat in what is supposed to be a "Family Movie". They tried to remake A classic... And Failed Miserably. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anybody.
