Series Description:
“Cheaper by the Dozen” is a 2022 family comedy film that premiered exclusively on Disney+ on March 18, 2022.
Directed by Gail Lerner, the movie is a fresh take on the 2003 film of the same name, which was inspired by the semi-autobiographical novel by Frank B. Gilbreth Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey.
The story centers on the Bakers, a blended family of twelve, as they navigate the challenges of managing their bustling household alongside their family business. The film stars Gabrielle Union as Zoey Baker and Zach Braff as Paul Baker, portraying the parents striving to balance their careers and the demands of their large family. The ensemble cast includes Journee Brown, Kylie Rogers, Andre Robinson, and others as the Baker children.
The narrative delves into themes of family unity, the complexities of a blended household, and the humorous yet heartfelt moments that arise in their daily lives. While the film offers a contemporary perspective on the classic tale, it retains the core message of love and togetherness amidst life’s chaos.
