Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 8–10

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Noisy efforts by children to break up their newly married parents
  • Violence & scariness:

    Antic, comedic violence, as kids, parents, and pets crash, fall, and, on occasion, fight.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Romantic/soon married couple kisses, briefly embraces in bed (cut to bed filled with sleeping children).
  • Language:

    One use of "."
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Some drinking by adults at dinner/on dates; one scene of kids (underage) drinking.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Yours, Mine, & Ours

Parents need to know that this movie includes crude humor, lots of drinking, and some questionable humor around homosexual stereotypes. There's a scene where beer kegs arrive at a teen party, adults drink liquor on dates and the housekeeper pours herself a martini when she's supposed to be babysitting. Kids engineer elaborate situations to break up their parents' marriage, creating domestic chaos (food, paint, toys, furniture, and pets -- here including a pig -- all in an uproar). Parents kiss and embrace; an adolescent girl kisses a boy at school, discovered by her new, and newly jealous, stepsister. One kid vomits while seasick on a boat. Language is mild, but includes homophobic jokes.

    My concerns are:
    • Drinking, smoking, or drug use

    Enjoyable and light hearted

    Really enjoyed this movie and didn't see major issues with it. As an only child, my daughter appreciated seeing the kids learn to get along with each other and the siblings support each other towards the end. Although there are parts that are questionable, such as an out of control teen party and a drinking nanny, the general message is clear that such behavior is not acceptable.

    Much better than Cheaper by the Dozen

    I don't think that the Common Sense Review does this movie justice. It may be formulaic, but it's a formula that works. I love this movie and would probably let my kids watch it. The book is fantastic and this remake does a good job of bringing it up to date. It is far better than the similarly themed "Cheaper by the Dozen" and carries real heart along with it's schmaltz. Even when siblings are born to the same family, it's sometimes difficult to get along. The movie shows the best parts of being a family, standing up for one another, and cheering each other on. I don't think it's in the theaters anymore now, but definitely a good rental.

    Mindless fun

    My kids ages 8-13 liked the movie. The plot is very predictable and the acting is a little stiff. It's a cute film the entire family can see if you just want a low-key night at the movies. It's probably a better rental.
