Cheaper by the Dozen 2

The kids have been waiting to watch this sequel since we watched the first installment a few weeks ago. Despite adding Eugene Levy to the cast, this one is not as good as the first (and the first was only "okay"). It felt like an updated version of John Candy's "The Great Outdoors," and they completely stole the scene of John Candy on the water skis by having Steve Martin kneeboarding. Plenty of laughs, but it had me thinking "Hm, I've seen this before." There were a couple little love stories thrown into this one, which my kids thought was gross, and my son said it best when he said "this version is more serious. Definitely not as funny."

Watch or Skip Consensus?

Skip.
