Not a remake


It irritates me when people refer to this as a remake of the earlier "Cheaper by the Dozen." The only things the two movies have in common is the title and a family with 12 children. This movie is a purely fictional movie about a purely fictional family with 12 kids. The original was a somewhat fictionalized account based on a book about a real family that had 12 kids. This same problem happens with Dr. Doolittle and other "remakes."

Yeah. The original movie (and even more so the book) was about how the efficiency expert Dad kept everything running smoothly.
