The New York Times
The ensemble of children has a natural, authentic-seeming rapport, and Braff and Union, as the beleaguered but loving parents, have an easy, irresistible chemistry, buzzing with big-hearted charisma every time they share the screen. - 60
IGN
Zach Braff and Gabrielle Union are great pillars here, though the film itself isn't consistent enough with its tone, snapping back and forth between sweet sentiment and cheap gags. - 50
Screen Rant
It is great that this blended family is so diverse, but if there is no thoughtful integration of their stories, they remain merely set dressing. - 50
Movie Nation
“Cheaper” in this case plays like a TV pilot, one that could use a lot more laughs. - 40
Variety
This new adaptation’s noteworthy commentary on poignant, timely issues is often eclipsed by predictability, superficial character development and inconsistent pacing. - 38
RogerEbert.com
The latest Cheaper by the Dozen is worse than formulaic; it is lazy and condescending to its audience. - 35
Slashfilm
Cheaper by the Dozen, every time it tries to walk down a thornier path, seems to be guided away by executive fiat to ensure that nothing gets too dicey. There was potential here, but it goes unrealized. - 30
Los Angeles Times
The new Cheaper by the Dozen feels less like a feature than a lengthy sitcom pilot. It’s an assembly-line product scrubbed clean of personality.
