Cheaper by The Dozen
My reaction in the movie is great because it was pretty funny it is a decent family comedy also. I loved this movie because it taught me that I don’t have to look pretty just be with someone I like and that they would like you the way you already are.
I thought this was a funny and very enjoyable movie. Any movie about a family with twelve children is bound to be fun. I, being fourteen, didn’t have many problems with it, other than the one or two swear words. However, if I was a mother with my own children, I might have found more to object to. But all in all, I thought it was a good movie, and I would definitely rent it again.
I liked this move because there was nothing objectionable to it, and it had a few humorous points. One viewer mentioned the pregnant daughter’s belly, and disrespectfulness toward the dad were inappropriate, but I didn’t see anything wrong with it. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing! There was one comment that men are clueless, and in my experience they are! Dads don’t know what is going on inside their daughters, and this movie shows this. I think it was a great portrayal of parental hood. It showed both extremes, and at the end the eldest Baker says something that is really sweet and ends the movie on a great note. But this one was found lacking in the humor department much more than its predecessor.
I really liked this movie! I didn’t think that it was quite as good as the first one, but it was pretty close. It had all the same actors in it. Steve Martin was hilarious, Bonnie Hunt was very convincing, and Eugene Levy was absolutely perfect in his role as Steve Martin’s overly competitive rival with the “perfect” family. This sequel, in a way, was less offensive than the first one. This is mostly because of the fact that Nora, the eldest Baker child, is now happily married and pregnant. In the first one, if you recall, she was living with Ashton Kutcher’s character and there were several references to the two of them sleeping together.

    The movie was great because how they acted their roles were exceptional. Honestly, the roles given to them are really hard because they will handle all the emotional and physical challenges of their roles. You really need a good actors to be able to act it out, and so they did. It was so moving, since you are able to see hopeless people who as much as possible keep their selves positive and enthusiastic in life. It is directed by Penny Marshall, the film was produced by…

    The movie was entertaining. It had a lot of funny moments. For instance, when Walter and his boss were fighting in the elevator over a childhood toy called Strechy Arm Strong. But the funniest part for me was watching adult men acting like little kids. The scene that got me laughing so…

    The producers couldn’t have hired better actors for the roles of Thomas and Victor and the script was as if it wasn’t even a script. It seemed like it just came so naturally to the characters. If someone came to me asking for examples of a movie with really good acting, I would probably recommend this movie, but otherwise. I would say not to waste your time and watch something more enjoyable, like the romantic comedy “The Wedding…

    By the year 1931, one in three New Yorkers were unemployed. According to Oren Harman in his book “ The Price of Altruism” words “…roughly 1.6 on some form of relief.” New York hit rock bottom when it peaks the most between 1932 and 1933. The Great Depression was an economic crash lasting from 1929 to 1939, it didn’t have much effect on the rashly rich, but it took its tolls on everyone else, especially New Yorkers who had the hell of it.…

    The American jury system, wherein citizens are judged by their peers, is one of the most democratic in the world. Nonetheless our system is far from perfect. There are many dangers in a system in which humans are asked to make decisions that could mean life or death for another person. Bias ranks amongst these dangers for it can affect the way jurors interpret testimonies and facts. Indifference is another factor; it too, can heavily affect a juror’s thinking. Personal feelings and experiences can stand in between a juror and the attainment of truth. The American jury system is intrinsically flawed in that it relies on intrinsically flawed humans to make life or death decisions…

    The criminal justice system of the United States, when first framed through the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, was a revolutionary breakthrough in contemporary peace-keeping. For fear of becoming like their former governing nation - wherein unreasonable trials were held in such a way that numerous individuals accused of criminal acts were not offered a opportunity to demonstrate their innocence or, in some cases, a trial by jury – the framers of the Constitution created a justice system based on the preservation of the rights of the accused, as well as ascertaining an un-biased truth and dealing justice. This brief explanation on the foundation of the U.S. Criminal justice…

    The two actors had a decent chemistry, meaning they worked well off of each other but I would have liked to see a better young Kayleen. I got the feeling in the middle of the first scene that if the audience was not told what age they were supposed to be portraying, Doug would have still seemed like an eight year old but I am not quite sure I could say the same for Kayleen because she still gave the vibe of someone somewhat older. Although her eight year old impression did not appeal to me, she made up for it with all the rest. As thirteen year olds in the scene where they throw up in the same trash can, they start working very well together and the comedy of this scene helped engage the audience a bit more. It was about at this point where you see the two begin to really get close.…
