Cheaper by the dozen was an overall ok movie. It was very funny, parts of it were entertaining because the family's lifestyle was so hectic. They all acted really well. But if you're looking for a film that will make you feel all good inside, this isn't it. I left the theater feeling as if i had never seen the movie. It never really made me that happy. It all led up to the end, and the end was really nothing. Funny, but not worth seeing. I saw it two times in a row, and trust me, once is really enough. Or zero times, for that matter. Oh, and if you're seeing it because you're a Hilary Duff fan, she really doesn't play that big of a role in the movie, so if you want to see it, Miss Duff shouldn't be the reason.

So, maybe this is no G-rated movie, but it really is fun for the whole family! Jack Black is terrific, and the kids are wonderful actors, not to mention being skilled instrumentally. This is the feel-good movie of 2003. The music is great, and it will really make you like rock n roll! the story is super, it is perfectly directed. Joan Cusack is also very funny. Her best line is "... the turkey touched over onto the peanut butter and jelly tray. Now, as you know, this is a severe issue." The kids are hilarious, and some of the things they say are so realistic. And the script doesn't tell them to talk back or be smart. They just act like kids. After you see this movie, you'll want to start a band!
