Running Time : 89 mins

Frank Beardsley (Quaid) is a Coast Guard Admiral who has been widowed for a number of years, and Helen North (Russo) is a handbag designer who is also widowed. When they meet up after many years, having been prom king and queen together at high school, they discover that between them they have eighteen children! Then, when Frank asks Helen to marry him, his kids are less than pleased with the news…

The entire concept of this remade comedy surrounds the bickering families fighting amongst themselves and eventually being forced to get along to combat their parent. It's an old plotline that has been used over and over, and remaking this when Cheaper By The Dozen had been remad just two years earlier was a bad mistake. Still, there are some okay slapstick moments that will get a chuckle out of those with juvenile senses of humour.
