Cheaper by the Dozen 2

Aroview: Lacklustre sequel to the 'family comedy' in which Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt marshall and grapple with their impressive brood of twelve children, this time on a last 'all the family together' vacation at a remote lake.

Here Martin clashes with his smug longtime rival Levy (who comes with his own eight offspring), prompting rounds of predictable slapstick and banal sentiment. Although side characters get in a few cute lines and routines, this eventually surrenders true humour to the simple logistics of its premise.
