Summary: A Loveable Classic
Review: I have watched this movie several times a year since I was 8 or 9 years old, and love it just as much now as I did when I first saw it. As movies go this has no major outstanding qualities - but you fall in love with it. It is America; a pleasant though not idealized story of an American family. The characters are pretty realistic and the family is charming. It is a good solid slice of Americana. Don't think of this as just a movie for kids, it is a movie for all ages - we all are part of a family!

Summary: A Wonderful Family Movie
Review: I really loved this movie and have searched everywhere for a copy of it. The Gilbreth family is full of fun and comedy for all to enjoy. 12 children is quite a handful for most but they seem to handle it with complete control and lots of love. I think Clifton Webb and Myrna Loy were ideal for the parents, the father most of all was the attention getter with all of his ideals and his decisions on how to get the best out of his children. Each child had their duties in the family and all of the movie was put together with laughter, personal situations and well rounded discipline. When Dad went to the prom with his daughter and her date, I was reminded of how my Dad was when I was dating and how mortified I was at the time, but just like her Dad, she was made to feel very proud that he cared so much and was old-fashioned as Fathers should be. It brought back a lot of loving memories for me with my Dad. It had an unexpected ending that was disappointing but then thats life. When are they going to make the sequel "Belles on Their Toes"? It was equally good and I would like to have it also.

Summary: AS WONDERFUL AS THE FIRST TIME :)
Review: I saw this movie years ago, on television, and liked it then. I enjoyed it just as much when I watched the DVD of it I recently purchased. The DVD came in a timely manner, and was in perfect condition. I would buy from this seller again.

Summary: The Classics
Review: I see they have re-made "Cheaper By The Dozen" starring Steve Martin. I guess the Oldies are still the Goodies! I love this movie and I wish they would bring out a box set of this and "Bells on Their Toes". I will be interested to compare the original and the remake.

Summary: A throwback to family values and an all-around great movie!
Review: I was one who hounded the powers-that-be that this movie (that pre-dates ME by a good 23 years!) be released on DVD. I was thrilled when I received notice that it was being released and I just received it today (funny since I just happened to catch it on TV two days ago!). It's a timeless classic with a fantastic (and woman-empowering)plot based on a true story. I still can't imagine how they managed with 12 children but it gives me the courage to deal with my two (who sometimes make the mess of 12!). A great story for homeschoolers too- the importance of education could not be more delightfully presented.I was worried that the quality of the DVD might not be up-to-snuff but it was great (unlike the other classic-movie DVD I just purchased, Life with Father, another favorite movie but the quality is quite poor). By the way, I haven't seen the Steve Martin adaptation of Cheaper by the dozen but I've heard/ read that the storylines have close to nothing (other than 12 children) in common. Instead, invest in this classic and you'll be very pleased. If I could give it more stars, I would!!

Summary: Awesome Movie
Review: It's all about growing up in a big family. Don't I know, I grew up with four sisters. My older sister still enjoys reading the books and she's in college!

Summary: Cheaper By The Dozen
Review: My family loves this movie and we watch it annually. I am a devoted wife and mother of ten children. My husband is in Engineering and is very "efficient" and equally as proud of his brood. We highly recommend it as the movie is full of humor and is still relevant for today.

Summary: A Real Treasure of a Classic!
Review: The wonderful story of a unique real-life 1920's family with 12 children. Myrna Loy the mother of this close knit family, will steal your heart with her dry, deadpan humor. In one scene she sits patiently in her living room listening to an unsuspecting birth-control advocate spew over-population nonsense in an attempt to get her to join their nefarious group! The father is an efficiency expert and runs his household accordingly, but not without a lot of unavoidable laughs and surprises. Very entertaining film you and your family will love. Takes you back to the wonderful time of 1910's and 1920's pre~Depression era America. The way a family ought to be. You'll simply love this classic treasure.
