Okay, so I wanted to find some movies that were like “Cheaper by the Dozen.” I really liked that movie, the whole big family vibe, the comedy, and all that.
First, I grabbed my laptop and opened up my favorite search engine. I typed in something like “movies similar to cheaper by the dozen”. I figured that was a good starting point.
I started scrolling through the results. A bunch of websites popped up, all listing different movies. Some of the titles I recognized, like “Yours, Mine & Ours” and “The Parent Trap.” Those seemed like good options, so I wrote them down in my notebook.
Then I dug a little deeper. I started reading some short summaries of other movies that came up. There was one called “Daddy Day Care” that sounded funny, about a guy who starts a daycare with a bunch of kids. I added that to my list too.
I also found some lists specifically about family comedies. “Mrs. Doubtfire” showed up there, which is a classic, so that was an easy one to add.
After spending a good amount of time searching and reading, I ended up with a pretty solid list. Here’s what I came up with:
- Yours, Mine & Ours
- The Parent Trap
- Daddy Day Care
- Mrs. Doubtfire
- Are We There Yet?
- Cheaper by the Dozen 2
- Blended
- We Bought a Zoo
- The Game Plan
- Parental Guidance
- Instant Family
- Playing with Fire
My Final Thoughts
I’m pretty excited to watch these movies. I think I got a good mix of older and newer ones, all with that fun, family-friendly feel. It was a fun little research project, and now I have a bunch of movie nights planned!
