| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Cheaper by the Dozen 2 |
|---|
Steve Martin returns for another family caper as Tom Baker, a loveable yet clueless father of twelve!
He convinces the family to share one last summer holiday together, which turns into a hilarious competition with the over-zealous family of long-time rival Jimmy Murtaugh, played by Eugene Levy.
Tom has always been jealous of Jimmy's success, even though he denies it. When he sees that his children would prefer to hang out in Jimmy's family's luxury holiday home, he finally sees red and they both become engrossed in a one upmanship contest.
