bkubale I bought 1 dozen from cheaper by the Dozen . Sign on delivery but only 6 bottles were delivered, Despite the coiurier advising that only 6 were delivered and the missing 6 were located and the OFT contacted them they refused to refund or replace . Very disatisfied
byson5186 I have to say, I can't believe this movie is more than a decade old, almost 12 years old. I'm sure if you watched it, you wouldn't think it looked that old. Yeah, it was made before IPhones came out which are really common devices nowadays. It's hard to imagine living without them now.This movie is a movie that shows Steve Martin as a Dad with 12 kids. In real life, Steve Martin didn't have any children until much later after this movie was made, like a decade after the movie was made. The kids in the movie seem somewhat like normal kids. With all those kids, it's hard to maintain control over his household. It shows something we typically see in a lot of movies of a mom being able to keep control of the kids and household, but a Dad can't. The family in this movie also reminds me of the Heck family from the Middle. I could imagine them being cousins with the Baker family, they'd seem to fit in.This movie is a funny movie, and it shows family life. You'll laugh when you see it. The plot from this movie doesn't seem like a memorable plot. You'll remember it more for showing family life in good times and bad times and seeing Steve as a father figure. He plays his part really well.I still occasionally watch this movie if I'm up for an entertaining movie, as it will keep you entertained. If you're up for a family movie, than this is one to watch. They also came up with a Cheaper By The Dozen 2 and I've seen that movie, but it wasn't that great not really entertaining or worth your time. It just doesn't hold up quite the same as this one does. The 2nd one is more like a family vacation for comedy, and it isn't a family vacation we'd see in films like Grown Ups where that entertains you.I used to really like this movie, especially when it first came out on DVD. I listened to the kids commentary every once in awhile. I used to look at all these IMDb message boards as I remember 10 years ago in 2005, how there were lots of fanfics for this movie and the characters. Some of the fanfics would be horror while others would be just like storytelling. They entertained me. We don't seem to have those fanfics anymore.Well, again I can't believe it's been 12 years since this movie was made. The kids in the movie obviously have aged a lot since the movie was made. Like, they're basically all in their 20s except the older two and younger two. Man, time flies. It's nice to keep memories of earlier times.
cathyreese OK this movie compares most unfavorably to the original. Also, the current version of the book Cheaper by the dozen that has Steve Martin on the cover is really misleading, as this remake has almost nothing to do with the original story.Second, I wanted to respond to the Dozen Do It for Me reviewer. John Kenneth Galbraith, renowned economist, is most certainly *not* Frank and Lillian Moller Gilbreth's son. Entirely different family! Entirely different spelling! Not the same at all!! Thanks. That was really bothering me.Third, virtually all focus on scientific management has been removed from the new story. This was the whole reason I wanted to show it to my class. The scientific management movement was extremely prominent worldwide 100 years ago. The foremost practitioner/scholar in the field was Frederick W. Taylor, followed closely by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth. You would never know it from this story.
LuckyCharm26 I rated this movie a 5 cause it's good but not great, it's fun and just a little funny. I enjoy most of all cause i am from a family who is pretty big and this film shows that family is not perfect, that parents mess up and it's hard to be a parent of a big family, yes it's predictable but i find honesty in it and so it's worth the watch and funny to see Taylor Lautner so so young, and i love family movie's and am reminded of mine, family films now a days are very hard to come by as well. A film for mindless, fun entertainment. I hate people who rate movie's so seriously, go be a movie critic if you want to be so serious instead of enjoying a movie for what it really is, entertainment for the masses.
