CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN 2
                            SYNOPSIS



The Bakers are back...BIG time! America's favorite
movie family returns in CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN 2.  
Only this time, they're going toe-to-toe against another
clan in the ultimate inter-family battle. The entire
CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN cast reunites, including Steve
Martin, Bonnie Hunt, Hilary Duff, Tom Welling and Piper
Perabo, and they're joined by a new family, headed by
Eugene Levy. Bigger scale, more laughs, ramped-up
action –- and lots of heart –- are the hallmarks of the
Bakers' new adventure.

In CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN 2, Tom Baker (Steve  
Martin) and wife Kate, hoping to bring their family
together for a memorable summer vacation, take their
twelve offspring to rustic Lake Winnetka, Wisconsin –
their longtime family vacation home. But their retreat
soon turns cutthroat when they enter into a
competition with the over-achieving members of a
large family headed by Tom's longtime rival, Jimmy
Murtaugh (Eugene Levy).--© 20th Century Fox

With the grown Baker children beginning to go in all directions, Tom (Steve Martin) and Kate Baker
(Bonnie Hunt) decide it is time to take the kids on one last summer vacation as a family to Lake Winetka
in Wisconsin, where they used to vacation.  The biggest fish on the lake is Jimmy Murtaugh (Eugene
Levy), Tom's old rival. Jimmy is now married to a much younger and beautiful wife Sarina (Carmen
Electra).  The fathers spend the weekend competing with each other.  The fathers don't get along but
their kids do.  Charlie Baker (Tom Welling) falls for Anne Murtaugh (Jaime King) and Sarah Baker
(Alyson Stoner) has her first date with Eliot Murtaugh (Taylor Lautner).  The big finale comes when the
Bakers and Murtaughs face off as the Bakers try and win the trophy that the Murtaughs have the
bragging rights to .  
Cheaper by the Dozen 2 isn't a great movie but is fun for the adults to watch with the
kids.
