Summary: Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt corral a wild herd of rampaging children in "Cheaper by the Dozen", an enjoyable family flick. When Kate Baker (Hunt, "Jerry Maguire") gets a book deal for her chronicle of their abundant family life, she also gets drawn into a book tour--leaving Tom (Martin, "Bringing Down the House", "The Jerk") to run the house and cope with his new, high-pressure job as a football coach. Naturally, chaos erupts, bringing the family to the brink of meltdown. "Cheaper by the Dozen" is not a great movie or an important movie or even a surprising movie, but it "is" a warm-hearted crowd-pleaser. The Bakers' family life is a bit idealized and antiseptic, but anyone looking for an escape from their own less-ideal family lives won't mind. Also featuring Tom Welling, Hilary Duff, Piper Perabo, and an uncredited Ashton Kutcher. "--Bret Fetzer"
