The Cheaper by the Dozen films with Steve Martin and Bonie Hunt weren't great, but they were watchable. I actually rewatched Cheaper By the Dozen 2 last night and teared up, that isn't happening with this viewing. That incarnation had a fun story, kids that you could actually want to hang with and a fun location.
Cut to Disney's un necessary reboot. The charm is gone and is re placed by un likeable actors and frustrating plot. Zach Braff " replaces' Seve Martin and he is very un likeable. I hate to sound negative, but, the children are not likeable. Let me back up, there are no likeable characters.
I had really low expectations, and was slightly hoping this would be "ok."
Kenya Barris, the creator of Black.ish, wrote this, and yes, it feels like a Black.ish film. I wish he casted better kids. There was no reason for this film, producers should have had Steve Martin brought in for a cameo as a different character, but didn't happen. Can Disney stop with these un necessary reboots, please.
