Cheaper by the Dozen- Review


I was so happy and exited to see the digital pre-screening of Disney’s original movie ” CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN”. This movie will be streaming on Disney + starting March 18th. I am a huge fan of the older versions of this storyline over the years. I simply LOVE this version. It’s definitely more relatable to today- 2022 on so many levels.

I just fell in love with the Baker family. The whole family will love watching this one together and for sure everyone can relate in some way! Every character in this movie was one of us at some point in our lives or it’s one our kids . As a mom to a teenager, some of the teens in this film were on point. They all had different attitudes, but it was clearly the teens of today and their struggles. I just love the presence of FAMILY. The love and support they give each other is heart warming. If there is anything I have learnt in the past 2 years of pandemic is that family is everything. Creating memories together is priceless . This movie depicts family in so many ways and I love it!

My Rating is: MUST SEE!
