As one of 9 kids and friend to families with 11, 12, 13, and more kids, I was appalled at this movie, sure it had a couple funny parts, but it made families with a lot of kids look like a WWE wrestling match, all fighting and out of control. I'll have you know that REAL big families have much better behaved kids then the average size family. Watch the original cheaper by the dozen, it's a bit more accurate, but not prefect.
