Critics Consensus

The initial set-up is unbelievable, the plotting is predictable and stale, and the comedy depends on repetitive pratfalls that soon get old.

Screen International

Looking to follow the Cheaper By The Dozen formula to box office success, Yours, Mine & Ours is a tiresome kids comedy that's mostly loud and mean-spirited.

Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo follow wearily in the footsteps of Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball in this asinine remake.

Rated: 1/5

Time Out

Another pointless remake with a cast who should know better.

Daily Radar

Regardless of a distinct lack of romantic chemistry between Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo, the able-bodied actors fulfill the slapstick demands of this run-of-the-mill family comedy based on the 1968 movie with Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball.

Rated: C-

The secret to the film's modest success can be summed up in five words: Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo.

I'd have a fit if I was ever again to hear Russo shout, 'Group hug!'

Yeah, I really enjoyed this movie. I know that the nostalgia goggles are effecting my score a lot but frankly I think it did what a family movie is supposed to do. Is it The Godfather or The Shawshank Redemption? Hell no. However it does a really good job for the genre it is in. I don't except that much out of a family movie but this met my expectations. But in the end, I don't need to justify my opinion of a kids movie from 2005 to a bunch of people on rotten tomatoes. I like it, it's a fun movie for me.

It was a pretty good kid's movie though I've seen better. The kids will probably enjoy it.

A ripoff of Cheaper by the Dozen but with the children being more downright sociopathic, Yours, Mine & Ours is yet another going-through-the-motions family comedy from the 2000's. True, I laughed a few times, Rene Russo certainly did a better job selling the illusion that she wanted to be there than Dennis Quaid but the film relies on uninspired comedic pratfalls, the bland direction of Raja Gosnell and I can't say I found myself rooting for their children once they conspire to break up their parents as a reverse-Parent Trap. At least it's mercifully short and feels short too, right down to the ending. A film that cemented Gosnell's reputation as a hack director only interested in family-oriented films for the easy paycheck. Could his career have turned out differently if he directed James Gunn's original, more explicitly college-student-oriented version of the live-action Scooby-Doo movie before studio interference had it retooled into a more family-friendly film after they got cold feet? Quite the "What If...?" question that crossed my mind.

Cute enough but a bit too goofy for its own good.
