Like Cheaper by the dozen, I thought this was a really good movie and it was very enjoyable to watch both of the films together.As one person already said its hard to not like the Gilbreths and their antics.

I was surprise to see that this was based on the true story. I loved seeing Jeffrey Hunter.

I really enjoyed it too, but I had no trouble believing that this was a real family. My own family has its antics, and imagine how much bigger they'd be times twelve.

It is a shame that more families are not like them. No morals. But plent of I want.

Generally,sequels do not live up to the first film.I do feel that Cheaper By The Dozen is the superior movie,but Belles On Their Toes is fun & has a charm to it which makes it enjoyable to watch.

I love the old song Stardust and I can't get over that Hoagie Carmichael landed such a funny part in this.
