I swear, I didn't wanna see this...But yknow...you just don't drag your dad and two little sister's to Memoirs or Pride and Prejudice (/the producers/anything else playing) on Christmas day. :/ And when the only one who really has any say over which movie we see is only like, 9 or ten (and therefore allowed to whine and cry if she has to sit through a three hour Kong), sometimes...yknow...yend up in Cheaper by the Dozen 2.

The good news....it's not the worst of the year. : )

The bad news...it's about 3 terrible films away.

I thought it was a cute, entertaining little movie that met all my expectations. I give it a B, just slightly lower than the B+ I give to the first movie. For family movies you can do a lot worse.

I liked the first film. I didn't think it was over-preachy, and didn't have too many corny "after school special" type moments. I found the sequel to be too corny for my taste though and predictable (Even for a kids film). Piper Perabo's water breaking during the final race? [sarcasm]Didn't see that one coming. The Bakers and Murtaugh's becoming close friends, who knew![/sarcasm]. It just seemed to be one thing after another. Also the whole subplot involving the young Baker girl and the young Murtaugh boy wasn't needed.

They should've stopped with the first one.

C-

Steve Martin, Eugene Levy and Bonnie Hunt deserve much better than this.

Once again ive been dragged to see another kids movie....i wanna to see king kong

It was probably one of the biggest surprises of 2005 to me. The surprise was that it did not make me want to rip out my own eyes and eat them during the viewing. I did not see this film voluntary. In Germany, there is a thing that is called "sneak preview". It means that you buy a ticket for it and go in without knowing what movie will be showing. All you know is that it is a movie that is not officially out in Germany yet, not for some time. I went in hoping for something...wel...other than Cheaper by the Dozen 2. I wasn't exactly a fan of the first film.

Surprisingly, I felt that the sequel slightly improved over the original. It was very clichéd, stupid, predictable and dumb, but I felt it was very nice family entertainment. Eugene Levy and Steve Martin are great facing off each other and I admit that I chuckled and smiled some times. It got worse and worse towards the end, but thankfully, the running time of less than 90 minutes prevented me from being really bored.

B-/C+

A decent comedy actually, about on par with the first. That one did a bit better job with the storylines and characters, while this was funnier. Performances weren't too bad either, with Steve Martin, Eugene Levy, and even Hilary Duff had a personal decency best. It's a bit too sentimental and predictable near the end, and some of the screentime weighting for the kids was off(Tomboy girl got wayyyyy too much), but overall I had a nice time. There's worse movies to rent out there.

this movie was ok, but it made me cringe alot
