“The more...the scarier!”
Cheaper by the Dozen (2003) charts the Baker family's relocation to Chicago when patriarch Tom Baker takes up a coaching position at Northwestern University. Amidst the upheaval, Tom's wife Kate, a writer, and their twelve children struggle to adjust, finding stability fleeting as parental responsibilities diverge. As Tom and Kate's schedules expand, the children's boredom escalates into chaos, testing the family's unity and resilience in a suburban tableau of dysfunction and affection.
