Who thinks that the original....
Is better than the new remake?
shareI refuse to call the 2006 version a "remake" because it has absolutely nothing to do with the 1968 movie.
I think that the great majority of people who have seen both movies think that the 1968 movie is much better.
I so agree. I love the original always have. The new one looks to much like the new Cheaper by the dozen. I also like the new Cheaper by the dozen
shareCheaper by the Dozen 2003 stole at least 25 things from the original Yours Mine and Ours (1968)! Then the 2005 Cheaper went and stole the 2 big families idea from YMO. So Cheaper is ripping off YMO more than YMO is ripping off Cheaper.
shareActually, both movies are based on books about two real-life families. "Cheaper by the Dozen" was written by Frank and Ernestine Gilbreth, a brother and sister of a family of twelve children. "Who Gets the Drumsticks?" was written by the real Mrs. Beardsley of "Yours, Mine and Ours" fame. So the original stories of "Yours, Mine and Ours" and "Cheaper by the Dozen" are totally independent of each other.
In the case of originals vs. remakes, I'll have to go with the originals on both counts. Hollywood just doesn't have a clue nowadays on the reality of big families. I'm the second of 10 (yes, we all have the same set of parents), and there's no way its as hectic and chaotic as it is portrayed in the newer "Yours, Mine" and "Cheaper" movies.

Yes I do know about the books.
I was not talking about the original Cheaper by the Dozen (1950), but the 2003 version. It is the 2003 version that ripped off the original Yours Mine and Ours 1968. The original Cheaper 1950 could not have ripped off YMO 1968 since it came out 18 years earlier.
If you look at CBTD 2003 you'll see that it ripped off at least 25 things from the original YMO 1968.

Thankyou for saying this! I'm the 3rd of twelve and I can tell you we get SO tired of the way movies show large families.
We like the originals of both CBTD and YMO.
I was really disgusted by the fact that both these movies were, technically, remade. I mean, seriously, is it too hard to just show your kids a better movie, even if it's older? we have to steal a basic concept and turn it into a yuck-fest about a bunch of brat kids?? I don't even know what the point of either Steve Martin's Cheaper by the dozen or the Your's Mine and Ours remakes was! It infruitates me because i love these movies and my mother showed me these, so how hard should it be to just show the original? it's probably more cost-effective for the studios to just re-release theminstead of throw money to this crap!

I've never seen the 2006 version. But I do love the 1968 version. It's hilarious!
