rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jol20 - Cheaper By The Dozen is a deceiving film in that it seems marketed as a comedy, rather than the drama that it really seems to be. I saw the sneak preview for this film and felt that this movie as overly dramatic in tone than it really could have been...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jol20 - 'Sorority Boys', rated R for crude sexual content, nudity, strong language, and some drug use.
