Treize à la douzaine

Interesting story with starting right in the family life together instead of how the parents met. Liked the story about trying to promote their family restaurant. This movie has none of the charm of the movies before it. As a comedy this movie falls flat, with very little laughs.

This was horrendous. And Walt must be spinning in his grave with this one. There have to some creative minds that Disney can hire. I honestly don't understand the lack of creativity.

Surprisingly, I was seated for both Cheaper By The Dozen flicks with Steve Martin in theaters as a kid when they came out, so I gave this one a shot.

If you're looking for some decent entertainment, try to avoid it. If you're forced to watch it with the kids, good luck... it's bad. Eye-rolling, lazy, unfunny, I felt bad for the actors involved because Zach Braff & some of the kids are actually trying. It's a sad excuse for shameful product placements and creating uninspired content from an existing IP.

Meh....it was ok. Pretty generic and nothing new or special. I like the idea of a mixed family but they made it so PC it kinda ruined it for me. I find Gabrielle Union plays the same type of character in most things I've seen her in, so I wasn't impressed with her performance. Zach Braff is a good comedic actor and so I expected a bit more of a comedy element from him. All in all it was just a below average family comedy that only made me laugh a few times.

The Cheaper by the Dozen films with Steve Martin and Bonie Hunt weren't great, but they were watchable. I actually rewatched Cheaper By the Dozen 2 last night and teared up, that isn't happening with this viewing. That incarnation had a fun story, kids that you could actually want to hang with and a fun location.

Cut to Disney's un necessary reboot. The charm is gone and is re placed by un likeable actors and frustrating plot. Zach Braff " replaces' Seve Martin and he is very un likeable. I hate to sound negative, but, the children are not likeable. Let me back up, there are no likeable characters.

I had really low expectations, and was slightly hoping this would be "ok."

Kenya Barris, the creator of Black.ish, wrote this, and yes, it feels like a Black.ish film. I wish he casted better kids. There was no reason for this film, producers should have had Steve Martin brought in for a cameo as a different character, but didn't happen. Can Disney stop with these un necessary reboots, please.
