It's a film for the family
Added 12/30/2009
If you're looking for a film that's reasonable for the whole family (ie. kids over 6) then this is probably a decent choice. Our kids certainly seemed to enjoy it. It would not say this was the best acting I've seen in a long time from any of the characters, but it does keep moving along. If it's on sale and you need a backup movie to watch on a trip or while waiting for NetFlix this is a good choice.

Silly movie
Added 10/7/2008
This is a silly movie where it's the Father's job to entertain the kids, and it's the kid's job to run the family's affairs. That isn't what the book was about, and it's not what this movie should have been about either.
Oh, and I think there were two jokes in the movie.
I thought Steve Martin (the person) was better than this.

Clean cut, entertaining movie, would recommend to anyone, especially if you grew up in a large family or wanted to know what it would be like to grow up in a large family

Cheaper but not always better
Added 4/4/2008
I'll watch anything that Steve Martin is in. While this one was entertaining, in a lightweight sense, some disturbing issues float in the undercurrent. As several reviewers pointed out, the kids seemed to be controlling the major issues in this family. (Is this a message we want to impart to our kids?) While the point, I'm sure, was to demonstrate that family should come first, and I agree with that, these kids were clearly running the show, not the parents ... and, uh, is that why big families are so much cozier and better?
Which leads me to the next problem. Throughout the film, some pointed and rather negative comments were made in reference to small families and only children. It was implied that BIG families are so much better and that all small families are selfish and evil. In real life, big families are not always so close and happy; while many small families are close and functional and happy. All in all, this film had some very charming moments, yes, but then again, there were many times when I wasn't quite sure what it was trying to tell us ....
