Cheaper by the Dozen

"The more...the scarier!"

Dec 25 2003 PG 1h 38m
Comedy, Family

The Baker brood moves to Chicago after patriarch Tom gets a job coaching football at Northwestern University, forcing his writer wife, Mary, and the couple's 12 children to make a major adjustment. The transition works well until work demands pull the parents away from home, leaving the kids bored -- and increasingly mischievous.

Plot

Juggling career and family can be a lot. Tom and Kate Baker, the proud parents of not one but 12 children, have chosen family over career aspirations. However, their lives suddenly change when small-town coach Tom is offered his dream job, and Kate's book has been accepted for publication. Now, with Kate promoting her book, it is up to Tom to look after the children, take care of the house, and handle a new job. Can Tom bring order out of chaos?
