Cheaper By the Dozen 2

Yes,the prequel has come. It is funny and a slight bit unrealistic. Basically the basis of the whole movie is that the Bakers went back to their old vacation getaway to have some family time. They get caught up with their old time friends the Berdaugh family who is stuck-up,rude and o ya obnoxious. Although this movie was pretty family oriented some parts just weren't at all. Two of the Baker's ends up having crushes on two of the Berdaugh's kids which happens in almost every movie with the plot of "vacation" in it. The Berdaugh father constantly criticizes the Baker father on his parenting skills but doesn't seems to realize that he himself isn't doing a good job. One of the Baker girls wants to wear make-up to impress the Berdaugh boy but she doesn't know how to. She gets in a little trouble but then she goes to her sister for help and she helps like all great sisters do. The Baker girl goes out with a Berdaugh boy to see the movie Ice Age with permission from her father. The kids were only in 8th grade for crying out loud!!! I think the message in this movie is that "let your kids grow up and let them follow their dreams". Although this is a "ok" movie I think I like "Yours,Mine and Ours" better because it was written better. I give it six stars.
