This success also gave 20th Century Fox more than a dozen good reasons to make a Cheaper sequel. Reprising their roles, the entire cast has returned—and then some. Even Hilary Duff managed to fit this project into her busy concert schedule although her character Lorraine is curiously absent from the middle portion of the film—perhaps she scooted off to sing a few songs in between takes.
The film offers just enough story to set up a colorful conflict. With the oldest Baker children leaving home, Tom yearns for one more chance to have the kids together for a traditional family lake vacation. While Tom was pursuing a football career, Jim became wealthy. Now, with his fourth wife Sarina Carmen Electra and their eight academic and sports-minded children, the successful businessman is all too generous with his advice on raising kids.
Over the next few days, the two men generate considerable summer heat while they continually attempt to one-up each other, leading to the final showdown—the annual Labor Day challenge. The Bakers have never been successful in the competition in the past. Expecting a relaxing vacation, the kids on both sides are suddenly brought into Olympic style training, as their fathers attempt to gain the upper hand. Thankfully, this time as opposed to the first film from two years earlier the kids really do appear to love each other, making this sequel far easier to watch and enjoy.
In the end, the two are brought together with some well-scripted events, allowing for a few messages of forgiveness and burying old conflicts. Adult Written by caffinegirl85 October 2, Hilary Duff thats the reason why its a cool movie!
This title contains: Positive Messages. Positive role models. Parent of a year-old Written by ohya August 13, Adult Written by garfield January 8, A great film. This is a great film for tweens and older kids.
The oldest Baker child lives with her boyfriend but this is clearly looked down upon. Violence is comedic not meant to be taken seriously. Some of the kids actions vary from wrong to downright disrespectful, but most of it relevant to the plot and turned around by the end. A great film if it is not taken seriously. Parent of a year-old Written by georges October 11, Positive Messages.
Parent Written by AOwen November 1, Adult Written by hammann1 April 9, Chaos Reigns Supreme We have four children and I think we really enjoyed watching the chaos that goes along with having a house full of kids.
I wondered if it would seem too scripted but they got the tone just right. The new neighbor character was a bit too fakey and simplistic for me. It's one thing to have neighbors who are tired of the noise and mess that comes with a big family but it is quite another to not care at all about them as individuals when something bad happens.
I found that to be very unbelievable. Otherwise the script was a bit hokey in parts, but fun. Sanja Milkovic Hays Costume Designer. Christophe Beck Music. View All Critic Reviews Apr 22, Juan C Super Reviewer. Jun 23, Feel good film.
A definite comedy classic that will have you laughing your pants off. Bethany M Super Reviewer. Jun 20, I always liked this film, it's good family entertainment. The practicality of it is very unbalanced. It's pretty realistic as far as the kids go as they come in all stripes, the rebellious teens, the snobby smart little girls, the one with the "dark gift", and even two sets of twins.
However, this movie will always get a positive rating from me due to the lovable cast of stars and scenes of big laughs, including Ashton Kutcher wearing meaty underwear and getting attacked by dogs. Jackson W Super Reviewer.
Jun 19, Ok but it's predictable and most of the laughs are silly and nothing new. Jamie C Super Reviewer. See all Audience reviews. There are no approved quotes yet for this movie. Best Horror Movies.

A message this younger generation and parents probably need to hear more of!
Without making blatant speeches, its clear that this family is a religious family. Bad: For the most part this movie is family friendly but unfortunately there are a few crude words and a profanity thrown in from an irate coach who chides Tom that ruins this otherwise wholesome movie. Immediately their hungry dog makes a beeline for the meat-smelling pants and unintentionally bites the boyfriend in the crotch.
The scene is played for laughs and is more on the funny side than rude and afterwards, the kids are punished for their prank. Bottom Line: This is a perfect family movie to see and then afterwards talk about how your family relates or differs as far as values, responsibilities and kid-dilemmas are concerned.
