Pretty painless by kiddie movie standards.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker

Quaid and Russo outshine the script with their presence and chemistry alone.

The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen

Unable to decide whether it wants to be a rambunctious family comedy or a tender romantic comedy, the Dennis Quaid-Rene Russo vehicle strains to be both and ends up falling short of both marks.

Washington Post Desson Thomson

The storyline is so familiar ("Cheaper by the Dozen," et al), the audience can practically call out scenes ahead of time.

Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum

The movie, directed with a gym teacher's whistle by "Scooby-Doo's" Raja Gosnell, is a contempo soft-focus remake of the 1968 original starring Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda.

The New York Times Stephen Holden

So snug, airtight and insulated from reality that the nice, well-scrubbed "Cheaper by the Dozen" seems almost rambunctious by comparison.

Boston Globe Ty Burr

The movie equivalent of a box of generic macaroni and cheese: bland, easily digested, comforting, forgettable.

Miami Herald Peter Debruge

The remake seems to have been written and directed by people whose only experience with children is the long-distant memory of having been kids themselves so many years ago.

LA Weekly Christopher Orr

Likable (if not especially funny).

Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach

The best thing that can be said about this Yours, Mine and Ours is that it's inoffensive.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

Synthetic, strained and noisy, Yours, Mine & Ours is a clinker that doesn't bear comparison with the original. Quaid, Russo and others deserve better.

Empire Simon Braund

Amazing – a movie that somehow manages to be both irritatingly familiar and instantly forgettable.

New York Daily News Jami Bernard

The humor is supposed to stem from the clash of kids who have been raised so differently and of partners with opposing views of child care. But there are just so many jokes you can make about who gets to use the bathroom when.

Even as slapstick, it's a major snoozefest.

Chicago Reader J.R. Jones

This wretched remake was helmed by Raja Gosnell, perpetrator of the live-action "Scooby-Doo" movies. I'm partial to Quaid and Russo, but there are limits.

Witless, terminally irritating remake.

Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten

The kind of film that will be suitable for all-ages entertainment once the family runs out of conversation after devouring all the turkey, but it's unlikely to expand its audience beyond these captives.

As an artsy but minimally bohemian type, Russo maintains her dignity, an extraordinary accomplishment.

Conor S. gave it a0:
This movie is terrible. The acting is bad all around, the plot is a rip off of the already bad "Cheaper By The Dozen." The humor isn't bad- it's NONEXISTENT!

Fred G gave it a0:
This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I would have walked out, but couldn't. Russo and Quaid should repent by doing charity work, because they ripped us off.

gave it a0:
Horrible.

Devin D. gave it a7:
Looks pretty good but the acting is really good at all. I never seen it but by far the acting doesn't look that good.

Chrissy gave it a1:
Lame? Boring? Annoying? Tiresome? Played-out? Yes, all of those words do describe this movie. A cheap rip-off of the terrible "Cheaper by the Dozen" movies in my opinion. A great family movie if your children are blinde and deaf.

[Anonymous] gave it a0:
Awful, just awful. Another clueless Holywood remake of what wasn't even a good movie first time. Made by desperate execs without a good idea to rub between them.

lily m. gave it a4:
It was good,but quite lame.Nothing funny.
