This sour sequel is just more of what we saw the first time around, and I didn't much care for that either.

The first one was weak, nothing special, a bad movie... but this sequel just sucks a lot. It isn't funny, enjoyable or good. It's bad, very very bad. Cheaper by the dozen? It's cheaper looking at a wall, and it's better.

You know what you can expect when you see a film titled "Cheaper By The Dozen 2." Lighthearted fun, breezy moments with a few chuckles. That is the highest expectations, and anyone who expects more needs to have seen more. The first "Cheaper By The Dozen," well, actually not the first but the first remake, was surprisingly delightful. Sure, it was a crockpot of mush and oversentiment but it fit the bill for its target audience. Here, the entire cast is back and the only feasible explanation one can give to that is a contract that would have forced them to produce a sequel if the first "Dozen" was a success, which it was. "Cheaper By The Dozen 2" is a laughless affair, and even worse than no laughs are all the desperate gags Steve Martin and Eugene Levy attempt to do. Hilary Duff continues stuck in family-fare fluff, and such quips such as "you are so butch" and "I totally know how you feel" makes me long for her to either sign onto a film where she actually can expand her artistic merit, or leave acting altogether. Piper Perabo, a talented young actress when she's given a task, has nothing better to do than complain to her anal-retantive dad, Martin, and deliver her baby. Carmen Electra is Levy's third wife, and Electra got the most credit for getting down the role of an airheaded, bimboish mom right. That's how desperate some critics were to give any form of credit to the movie. Bottom line is "Cheaper 2" is lame and incredibly boring. The only good aspect is its scenery. … Expand

Perhaps a moment the corners of my mouth were tugged at a bit in the whole 2 hours. Really quite stupid. Bad humor.

Even as a generic hollywood movie its bad, practically no laughs unless you take the mickey out of it- only a couple of actors rate and steve martin isn't one of them. Who cares about the charactors - no one in my family did - couldn't wait to get in out of the dvd player. More effort pu into tv dramas.

Sequels tend to be worse than the original, even though they are supposed to be a "remake" of it. And I usually thought of Steve Martin to be the funny guy in a movie, but it seems desperation has set in for him. Aside from Martin we have an all-star cast with Hillary Duff and Carmen Electra to name a couple. The first Cheaper by the Dozen movie with Martin and Duff didn't even turn out that hot, so what makes one think another one will be better? Someone desperate for work? It seems that for Cheaper by the Dozen 2 isn't that far off.… Expand

I agree with the sentiment about Steve Martin. What happened??? He went from being the funniest person on the planet (see early SNL) to possibly the dullest individual in the entertainment industry.

Horrible movie, just like the first, and in fact, just like almost every comedy now-a-days... they try too hard to make you laugh, that you just feel like walking out.. remember the good old days when Steve Martin did good movies, and was actually funny?

This is very interesting.A couple good laughs but not realy good or really bad... just... interesting.

The first cheaper by dozen movie was an example of the boring, ridiculous and non-sense American obnoxious sitcoms. If the 1st was bad, this is even more obnoxious. It's the better example of the american sitcoms, I repeat. I didn't even wanted to waste time and cash on the entrance, so I saw it in a "family reunion", using an illegal DVD of my cousin, and I'm glad of that. Obnoxious movie, only comparable with Chicken Little.… Expand

Simply horrible. Absolutely hated the first "Cheaper by the Dozen" movie, and this one is not better in the least. I wouldn't even take this movie from a free-bin. I honestly couldn't even finish it. It was completely dull, unfunny and one of the worst movies i've ever seen. Grandma's home movies are better then this folks :)

Terrible. Not even worth sleeping through.

Very poor.

Hilary Duff is all you need for a bad movie.

No one buys eggs from the same store again after getting a dozen bad ones the first time! Just don't bother!!!

It was so bad I had trouble even sleeping through it.

Should have been called stupider by the dozen in memory of all the nitwits who payed money to see such a film!

Hillary duff really looks awful. but not as awful as the idea of a sequel to this already boring, poorely directed and acted film...if you could use the world film.

Made a mockery of a movie going experience.

Nobody asked for a second one!!
