Two-Minute Trailer Reviews


CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN 2 (Release Date: Dec. 21)


October 20, 2005
It opens with horror overtones of danger in the forest, then shows us Steve Martin falling from a poorly hung tire swing. "All the Bakers are back," they tell us, which undoubtedly includes the ones who weren't funny in Cheaper by the Dozen 1, which I actually, mercifully, have no memory of. Anyway, the trailer shows us how lame Martin's dad character is, how cool Eugene Levy's quasi-fascist dad is, tosses in a breast joke involving ­Carmen Electra, then ends with Martin nearly dying while trying to prove to his kids that he can wakeboard. Though the opening is ironic, the rest of the trailer leaves no doubt as to the banality audiences can expect. (Anthony Pignataro
