Talk:Cheaper by the Dozen (2003 film)

Trivia
Below information should be re-integrated into the article in other sections.
 * Liliana Mumy (Jessica Baker) and Morgan York (Kim Baker) in real life are a year apart but are fraternal twins in the movie.


 * Brent and Shane Kinsman (Nigel and Kyle Baker) are identical twins.


 * In the scene where Charlie Baker (Tom Welling) finally stands up to the bullies, Jared Padalecki, had to stand on a cardboard box to be shown taller than Charlie Baker since Tom Welling is 6'3"


 * For a brief moment, Kate Baker's book can be seen. Her full name is revealed to be 'Kate Gilbreth Baker'. The Gilbreths were the family featured in the book Cheaper by the Dozen


 * Steve Martin who is a self-confessed, huge Whovian, accepted the lead role as Tom Baker because it was as close as he could get to fulfilling the goal of so many Whovians and play The Doctor


 * Kevin Schmidt and Ashton Kutcher both later co-starred in The Butterfly Effect, but were not seen in any scenes together, since Kevin played the younger Lenny.

should it also be noted that in real life Alyson Stoner (Sarah Baker) is Older then Liliana Mumy (Jessica baker), although in the movie she is a year younger then her? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.132.60.251 (talk) 16:23, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I want to know the story behind Ashton Kutcher being uncredited. 4.225.195.194 (talk) 00:45, 19 April 2009 (UTC)Fan

Synopsis
I've never seen or heard of this movie, but it needs a PLOT SYNOPSIS. Please? Pretty please? Goldfritter 18:08, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Major expansion
Hello, I noticed that article needed some work so I've added a plot synopsis, added character biographies, added references, fixed the categories, added a few goofs and more info on the production/writers etc. I'll add some similarities from the book shortly and then I think it'll be done! Any thoughts and or comments? Happy editing! The Sunshine Man 16:34, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * For GAC, the trivia section should be removed and the information integrated into the rest of the article. The poster also didn't have a fair use rationale, but I added one. --Nehrams2020 21:59, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

GA Review – GA Failed
I'm failing this film article because it lacks two important sections of any film article: Production and Reception. I would suggest taking a look at WikiProject Films' style guidelines as well as WikiProject Films' Featured and Good articles found here. Below are some minor suggestions to continue improving the article:
 * Remove subsection titles from the Plot and try to re-sort the sentences into 3-4 paragraphs. Also, common words (like dog and fight) should not be wiki-linked.
 * The Characters and Cast sections should be merged together. It can be formatted as shown below:
 * Steve Martin as Tom Baker: The father of twelve children and husband of Kate Baker... (the rest follows)

I think that if you want to improve this article, you should find information about Production and Reception first. These, besides the Plot, are staple sections for any film articles, and most other content can be added around it. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 22:24, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The Production crew section repeats what is already in the Infobox Film template. The same goes for the Producers and Screenplay sections.  More encyclopedic content about the film's production would include detail about the adaptation of the book to the film, how they found their cast, where it was filmed, and anything unique in the process such as delays in filming.
 * The Awards section seems underdeveloped and does not say which actor was nominated for which award.
 * Like Nehrams said above, the information from the Trivia section should be merged into the rest of the article. The Goofs section is as trivial and could be merged, but it seems best to remove it.

Beat me to the review. Adding on to what Erik said, the film's title in the lead needs to be in italics as well as bold. Gran2 14:47, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Padalecki vs. Welling
Anyone think it's funny that Jared and Tom are both in this movie. Both are from top sci-fi shows on the CW (god awful network). (JoeLoeb (talk) 18:24, 13 February 2009 (UTC))

Production
If a production section were to be created, the numerous shots including a boom mic should be mentioned. I saw an interview sometime just before the movie was released that mentioned the difficulty of shooting scenes with so many child actors. This might explain why the poor camera/crew work was allowed to remain. 68.153.29.23 (talk) 20:37, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Ages
Where did the kids ages come from? I'm pretty sure in the movie they say the order is Nora, Charlie, Lorraine, Henry, Sarah, Jake, Mark, Jessica & Kim, Mark, Mike, Nigel & Kyle. 67.173.40.208 (talk) 22:44, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Descriptions of cast
I think these are overly excessive and it should go back to the way it was before.63.226.236.94 (talk) 13:37, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
