Cheaper by the Dozen 1 and 2!!!

These 2 hilarious movies will make you laugh until you cry, no joke :) They star Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt as 2 parents managing there 12 fun-loving and free spirited kids.
In the first movie, Tom Baker (Steve Martin) is offered a job to coach football at a big university, the entire family moves from the place they call home: Midland, Indiana to Chicago, Illinois. The 12 kids are completely against the idea and are miserable when they first get to Chicago. Meanwhile, Tom's wife, Kate Baker (Bonnie Hunt) is trying to publish a book about parenting. When Kate goes to New York to try to get her book published, Tom is left to manage his kids but does have a little help from the oldest Baker kid, Nora (Piper Perabo). Although this movie is quite hilarious, it also teaches you a little something about how to deal with family and change.

In Cheaper by the Dozen 2, the whole Baker family is back and changes have already been made before the movie even really kicks off. The 3rd oldest Baker, Lorraine (Hillary Duff) has just graduated from high school. Nora Baker has gotten married to Bud McNulty and she is pregnant. When Tom and Kate find an old photo album that Lorraine was looking through, they are reminded of the good times the family had an old vacation spot, Lake Winnetka. When the family decides to go back to the lake for vacation, they are reunited with their rival family, the Murtaughs. The father of the family, Jimmy Murtaugh (Eugene Levy) has had it out for Tom since they were kids. But of course, the Baker and Murtaugh kids get along wonderfully which creates conflict for Tom and Jimmy. When Jimmy challenges Tom to the Labor Day Cup, things start to spiral out of control.
