A truly agonizing experience is to watch this film version of Cheaper by the Dozen starring Steve Martin. The book, based on the real-life experiences of a large family, was one of my favorite books to read as an adolescent. However, this film bears little resemblance to the true story. The film is tasteless, crude, and an even bigger sin for a comedy: it's not funny. Not even faintly humorous.The so-called acting by Ashton Kutcher was amazingly bad. I cannot fathom why his "acting license" has not been revoked yet. And Steve Martin is old enough to know better than to agree to appear in this stinkeroo film (all he had to do was read the script to figure out what a huge turkey the story is, and without a good story, there is no good film).Huge waste of my time, but I saw it with my wife, who thought it was actually cute at times.
