Running Time 100 minutes

Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (PG)

Plot
The Baker parents (Martin and Hunt) and their 12 children go on holiday to a lakeside resort, where they soon find themselves competing against Jim Murtaugh (Levy), his trophy wife (Carmen Electra) and their eight over-achievers.

Verdict
The quality cast just about manages to pull this above one-star ignominy, but a couple of good chuckles can't redeem this sappy mess.
