i found it higher energy and more entertaining than the 1st one, 31 March 2007
7/10
Author: disdressed12 from Canada

i actually think this is a better movie than the 1st one.i don't think it has as many funny moments,but there are some.i just think it is more entertaining and has an even higher energy level.i also liked the story more.it has a bit more to it.Eugene levy is in this one,and i think he really adds something to the movie.the rivalry between his and Steve Martin's character is quite fun to watch.The original cast are all back,and the acting is once again good.this time around Steve Martin did not over exaggerate his facial expressions and movements during the physical comedy moments.if he did,i didn't notice. at the end of the movie,i wondered if they would make a third entry in the series,which i really hope they do.anyway,for me "Cheaper by the Dozen 2" is a strong 7/10
