September 14, 2011It looks so fun to have a huge family! It was predictable but not bad. Hilary looked good as usual.

June 5, 2011Yes okay a simplistic and enjoyable movie that is vaguely amusing.
No idea why anyone on earth would want that amount of children but okay. -
November 2, 2010Good family entertainment! Steve Martin is funny as always and the kids are good too. The story is good and believable and the jokes are quite funny. Yes, it has the cliches you see in movie with parents who deal with tons of kids but that shoudn't matter to the viewer.

April 15, 2010Lame remake that bleeds all charm out of the material and also cheapens the real family's struggles too overcome a devastating blow.

This is a movie that knows its audience and realizes it doesn't need much of a story to hit that audience, literally, where it lives. Full Review

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
Martin and Hunt give the production a mellow warmth. And Levy has cast an appealingly diverse bunch of kids to play the young Bakers. Full Review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
So calculatedly cast with popular kid stars that it seems a focus group was guiding all the choices. Full Review

We are not only asked to find the barbarian Baker brood a model of familial loyalty and unconditional devotion, we're also asked to regard with contempt everyone else who does not share the Bakers' un... Full Review

Martin may excel at playing buttoned-down, neurotic men coming apart at the seams, but he is wholly unconvincing playing dad to a lot of cute, precocious tykes from central casting. Full Review

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
Indistinguishable from an Afterschool Special.
December 25, 2003
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
It wastes Hunt's whiplash-quick timing and further reduces the once-wild, once-crazy Martin to the generic father figure he has collected checks for in too many recent movies. Full Review

Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger
The cartoonish chaos will engage little ones, while Tom's struggle to balance career and home time should keep parents' eyes on the screen. Full Review

Stephen Holden, New York Times
This remake of the 1950 movie is a bubbling crockpot of farcical mush to warm the tummies of anyone who really and truly misses The Brady Bunch. Full Review
