Yours, Mine and Ours

Generally pleasant family-friendly fare.

The movie equivalent of a box of generic macaroni and cheese: bland, easily digested, comforting, forgettable.

Quaid and Russo outshine the script with their presence and chemistry alone.

Synthetic, strained and noisy, Yours, Mine & Ours is a clinker that doesn't bear comparison with the original. Quaid, Russo and others deserve better.

The humor is supposed to stem from the clash of kids who have been raised so differently and of partners with opposing views of child care. But there are just so many jokes you can make about who gets to use the bathroom when.

Witless, terminally irritating remake.

As an artsy but minimally bohemian type, Russo maintains her dignity, an extraordinary accomplishment.

A remake just to cash in on the remake of Cheaper By The Dozen, involving a large family. All it does is use every comedy cliche and writing structure that's been done a hundred times in the past.

It has only few laughs and the whole story here is absolute mess, even if the plot knows where its going. Kinda lame for a family movie. Its just a Cheaper by the Dozen rip-off.

An unrelenting vortex of forced slapstick and contrived emotion.

I saw this movie while babysitting two kids. One of them is 5 and the other is 10. They both hated it. My opinion is much lower than theirs. First off, the acting is...well, dammit, it's awful! The child actors are extremely annoying and I hoped at least one of them caught the Swine Flu or something (not a good thing to wish on anybody) The plot is predictable, boring, and incredibly dull. The screenplay is...like the acting, choke worthy. The direction...basically everything, is horrible. Never before has a movie gotten a 1 from me. This film ****. Don't see it. Please. I beg you!
