70
Variety
Joe Leydon
Generally pleasant family-friendly fare.

60
The Onion (A.V. Club)
Keith Phipps
Pretty painless by kiddie movie standards.

50
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
Quaid and Russo outshine the script with their presence and chemistry alone.

50
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.

50
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.

50
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.

50
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.

50
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The movie equivalent of a box of generic macaroni and cheese: bland, easily digested, comforting, forgettable.

50
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.

50
LA Weekly
Christopher Orr
Likable (if not especially funny).

42
Baltimore Sun
Chris Kaltenbach
The best thing that can be said about this Yours, Mine and Ours is that it's inoffensive.

40
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.

40
Empire
Simon Braund
Amazing – a movie that somehow manages to be both irritatingly familiar and instantly forgettable.

38
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.

38
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Lame family filler.

38
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
There's not a moment in this story arc that is not predictable.

38
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Rip Torn, Linda Hunt and Jerry O'Connell mark time in minor supporting roles.

38
Chicago Tribune
Robert K. Elder
Even as slapstick, it's a major snoozefest.

30
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.

30
Dallas Observer
Bill Gallo
Witless, terminally irritating remake.

30
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.

30
Village Voice
Matt Singer
Shrill family comedy.

25
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
A turkey.

25
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
A forced-march comedy.

25
USA Today
Mike Clark
As an artsy but minimally bohemian type, Russo maintains her dignity, an extraordinary accomplishment.
