Expert review

Cheaper by the Dozen (2022) is an energetic family comedy following the hectic daily life of a large blended family of fourteen, navigating a move to a new city, sibling rivalries, and everyday chaos. Sensitive elements are essentially limited to slapstick humor and light family conflicts, with no genuine violence or scary moments. A standout comedic scene involves the children pulling a gross prank on an unlikeable adult character, and a few family arguments may briefly unsettle very young viewers. Parents can reassure little ones that all conflicts are resolved warmly, as the film is fundamentally a celebration of family togetherness and resilience.

Synopsis

This remake of the beloved classic follows the raucous exploits of a blended family of 12, the Bakers, as they navigate a hectic home life while simultaneously managing their family business.

Difficult scenes

A prank scene in which the children soak an unpleasant adult's underwear in raw meat so the family dog attacks his buttocks: played entirely for slapstick laughs with no shown pain, but very young children may be briefly startled by the dog's aggressive reaction and the somewhat gross-out humor. A scene where one of the younger children, upset over the death of his pet frog, runs away from home following a family argument: the moment is handled gently and resolved quickly, but very sensitive toddlers may feel briefly sad or anxious about family separation and the loss of a small animal.
