REVIEW: CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN 2
I admit to never seeing the predecessor to this sequel - why? Well, I thought it looked really stupid. Its sequel, however, looked kinda funny in its trailers, so we decided to venture forth and check it out. Now, Cheaper By the Dozen 2 is certainly not going to win any major awards, but it was an entertaining little family film, and had some rather funny moments, along with some cheesy ones (as expected). Carmen Electra (Starsky & Hutch) is a hoot as the wife of Tom Baker's (Steve Martin, Shopgirl) biggest rival, Jimmy Murtaugh (Eugene Levy, The Man). Hilary Duff (The Perfect Man) is a bit scary in the film, though - she looks a little too thin and I can't help staring at her newly veneered teeth. Here's the plot - Tom Baker and family head up to the lake for a relaxing family vacation,only to rekindle a rivalry with Jimmy Murtaugh and his family, which culminates in the big annual family competition at the lake.Official Website: http://www.cheaperbythedozen2movie.com/
