Amazon.co.uk Review
The best performance in Cheaper by the Dozen 2 is by an actress you've probably never heard of: 11-year-old Alyson Stoner, who plays Sarah, one of twelve children of Tom and Kate Baker (Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt). The movie follows the popular clan of the previous remake of Cheaper by the Dozen as they go to a camp in the mountains, where Tom renews his rivalry with Jimmy Murtaugh (Eugene Levy, Bringing Down the House).
To the movie's credit, it doesn't quite degenerate into a National Lampoon's Vacation knock-off, though it comes perilously close. But thanks to the grace of Bonnie Hunt and general good spirits of the cast of kids (including Tom Welling, Smallville; Hilary Duff, The Perfect Man, who in some scenes becomes uncomfortably Lolita-esque; and Piper Perabo, Coyote Ugly, among others), this unnecessary sequel manages to remain enjoyable to anyone with a taste for broad family movies. But Stoner--as a tomboy getting her first crush--brings considerable charisma to her generically-written part, and her scenes give the movie a much-needed emotional lift. Otherwise, it's a movie in which Carmen Electra plays the voice of reason (in a series of tight-fitting tops). --Bret Fetzer

But a great family film. This time Steve Martin's competitive side gets the better of him on a family vacation when he meets an old 'friend' who now owns most of the lake.
Mayhem ensues as two contrasting styles of parenting are put to the test to see who's best...

Well here we go again, another crazy adventure from the Baker family! This is another hilariouse movie with all the good comedy stars from Steve Martin to Eugine Levy with hilariouse jokes and a story about when the Bakers go to a lake that they use to visit every summer until the kids got bored of it. Now they return to the lake and Tom Baker (Steve Martin) meets his rival from High School. They try to battle out whos family is better. This is a good movie cause is has jokes, adventure, and love. It is so funny!

This film is great. I went to go and see it at the cinema and I was in hysterics. You don't need to see the first one to understand this one but you may miss some of the jokes. There are two families that are rivals and are trying to out do each other(especially the dads). The children are unaware of this and get along with each other well. You should buy this film because it is simpilly hilarious!!!!!!!!!
