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.
