Category: Fillums Cheaper by the Dozen II carries no surprises except for the seemingly complete lack of mic booms in shot. That shows that they learnt something from the first modern CbtD. In fact, the first scene with real dialog in CbtD II features a centre stage microphone playing up a little (a Shure Beta 58 as it happens), presumably a hat tip to CbtD (I). Don't expect a lot and you won't be completely disappointed. I would definitely not have enjoyed without laughing descendents on either side of me. The best scene is where Eugene Levy's charcter's new wife appears on the doorsteps of his mansion (named The Boulders) welcoming the Baker family with lots of cleavage (centre shot) saying "Welcome to The Boulders". 6.5/10.0 - Not utter rubbish and lots of eye candy. |
