Cheaper by the Dozen (2003)

Tom and Kate Baker (Steve Martin, Bonnie Hunt) have twelve rambunctious children. That’s right, twelve. In a world where four children often constitutes a large family, twelve is definitely out of the norm. But they’re adjusting, mostly. Living in a huge old house out in the country, they’ve got things down to a system and manage to stay calm, cool and collected, except for those rare occasions when Beans, the family pet frog, gets loose and lands right in the middle of the breakfast table, spattering scrambled eggs all over everyone. Tom is fairly happy coaching a high school football … Continue reading →

A Cinderella Story

“A Cinderella Story” is a cute, family friendly remake of the Cinderella story starring Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray. Young Sam adores and is adored by her father. Each night he reads her fairy tales before going to bed, and when her father is killed in an earthquake she’s devasted. And, because no one could find his will, everything was left to her step-mother (played with gusto by Jennifer Coolidge).

The Parent Trap: A Nice Remake in a Sea of Bad Ones

Posted on by

When it comes to remakes, I’m usually skeptical to the point of completely avoiding the remake in question. After all, Cheaper by the Dozen and Yours, Mine & Ours did nothing to change my view on the needlessness of remakes of forgotten family films. However, The Parent Trap really isn’t all that forgotten. Year later, the original film remains in rotation on The Disney Channel and parents that grew up with old VHS copies have now purchased the DVD version to show their own children. Before Lindsay Lohan became the infamous celebrity she is today, she took over the role … Continue reading →

Husbands & Father’s Day

Father’s Day is rapidly approaching and it’s a day to celebrate having dad around. I didn’t grow up with a father so the first years that I have ever celebrated Father’s Day began when I was pregnant and then of course after our daughter was born. My husband’s relationship with his father was intensely valuable to him and his relationship with his daughter is even more valuable to him now. Different Ways to Celebrate For Father’s Day, we’ve done different kinds of gifts over the years from finger paintings my daughter has made to favored books, ties, robes and more. … Continue reading →
