Cheaper by the Dozen

Plot

The Baker brood moves to Chicago after patriarch Tom gets a job coaching football at Northwestern University, forcing his writer wife, Kate, and the couple's 12 children to make a major adjustment. The transition works well until work demands pull the parents away from home, leaving the kids bored -- and increasingly mischievous.

About Cheaper by the Dozen

Cheaper by the Dozen is a 2003 American comedy film directed by Shawn Levy. It is a remake of the 1950 film of the same name. Both films were inspired by the semi-autobiographical book Cheaper by the Dozen by Frank Bunker Gilbreth Jr. and his sister Ernestine Gilbreth Carey. It stars Steve Martin, Bonnie Hunt, Hilary Duff, Tom Welling, and Piper Perabo, alongside Kevin G. Schmidt, Alyson Stoner, Jacob Smith, Forrest Landis, Liliana Mumy, Morgan York, Blake Woodruff, Brent and Shane Kinsman, Paula Marshall, and Alan Ruck in supporting roles. Outside of a passing mention of the Gilbreth name, the film has little connection with the original source material. The film was released on December 25, 2003, by 20th Century Fox, and grossed $190 million worldwide against a $40 million budget, despite mixed-to-negative reviews from critics. A sequel, Cheaper by the Dozen 2, was released in 2005. A remake was released in 2022 on Disney+.
