About

You’ll likely enjoy this rambunctious family comedy if you like big-kid chaos and warm, everyday humor, but Not for you if you want a tighter, more believable story or dislike slapstick-heavy situations like those in Cheaper by the Dozen (1950) or Night at the Museum.

Pros: lots of family fun; likable cast; frequent laugh moments | Cons: kids can be exhausting; manufactured conflict; uneven story
