Calum Marsh New York Times A big family is a strong comic premise, and Lerner takes a buoyant, energetic approach. Mar 29, 2022 Full Review Dwight Brown 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 Mar 23, 2022 Full Review 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 Mar 18, 2022 Full Review Maxance Vincent InSession Film 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 Mar 6, 2024 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome 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. Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Stacey Yvonne The Geekiary Directo Gail Lerner and Barris speak the same language so the direction is tight despite some tone and thematic issues. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 14, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Ed R 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Kyle M 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) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review Blitzford M 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review Herry S This is based on true story about their kids experience from different backgrounds, It is really funny scene a lot, I recommend to watch with kids to understand condition with everyday life Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/17/23 Full Review Krzysztof P Bardzo lekko się ogląda, bez większych emocji. Całkowicie przewidywalny. Trochę cringe'owy humor Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/24/23 Full Review Blake C It had ZERO of the soul and wholesome fun the original, or 2003 remake had. It felt so cynical and tried to be so "on-the-nose" with current events. The completely unnecessary elements of racial tension felt extremely forced and were not believable, and took a lot away from more positive messages that could have been focused on like family, friendship, and the strength of a loving home. Additionally, the whole ex-husband/blended family tension also felt forced. It would have been fine, and a refreshing spin on the original story, but it fell extremely flat and distracted from what little story foundation there was. Stick to the original or the 2003 remake, and steer clear of this mess. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
