I went to this one in Westfield, NJ along with B- and my sister Erica. B- really liked it, Erica disliked it enormously, and I found it weak but less toxic than I’d expected. It starts very slowly, to say the least, and really isn’t funny for quite a while. It has nothing to do with the original “Cheaper By the Dozen” with Clifton Webb-Myrna Loy from 1950, based on the play of the same name. There are 12 ‘fun-loving’ kids with an odd, insecure, dad (Steve Martin) trying to stay meaningful as they grow up and grow away. The family goes off for one last summer vacation to the lake where they reconnect with their dad’s old nemesis, now a rich real estate mogul, Eugene Levy. ‘Fun’ happens sporadically. The best I can say is that it wasn’t as awful as I’d expected and I laughed a couple of times
