Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
Martin and Hunt are exactly the right lively but not sticky authority figures to keep the house (and the comedy pace) bouncing.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Lighthearted fun.
60
Village Voice - Ed Park
Solidifying his funnyman rep, Ashton Kutcher appears as oldest child Piper Perabo's model-actor boyfriend, a delightfully brainless narcissist.
60
Chicago Reader - Hank Sartin
Be forewarned: this comedy bears only the faintest resemblance to the classic book and film of the same name.
50
The Hollywood Reporter - Michael Rechtshaffen
Thanks to Martin and Hunt, who both have a seemingly casual flair for mining laughs from even the most generic lines of dialogue, Cheaper by the Dozen works better than it might have in less capable hands, but even they're challenged by some of the picture's forced mood swings.
