Cheaper by the Dozen

I had high hopes for Cheaper by the Dozen. I love Steve Martin, Bonnie Hunt.. and my daughters love Ashton Kutcher and Hilary Duff. With big names and great previews we really thought we'd enjoy this movie.

Annie, age six, was very easily bored with the movie.. normally she's very attentive and chats a bit about what's going on. This was not the case with Cheaper by the Dozen, she didn't like it, was bored and the only thing that interested her was the frog named beans. (His mother's name was Pork - cute, huh?) Seeing the movie with her was tiresome and after about 2/3 of the way through she wanted to leave.

Now, me I gave it a shot.. I had high hopes and I really wanted to like it. But, the problem I had was that the movie was actually stressing me out lol. It was as though I was watching a nightmare unfold and there wasn't anything I could do about it. Okay, I know that sounds strange but this movie raised my blood pressure and my stress level, rather than entertaining me and making me laugh. Too many kids, too much chaos and just too much going on for me.

I'd give the movie 3 out of 5 stars because it tried, but just didn't guite do it for me.
