In a viral clip on social media, a woman claimed that the 3rd remake of Cheaper by the Dozen is eerily similar to the plot of Yours, Mine, and Ours. The trailer then sparked debate on the internet.
On February 7th, Disney released the trailer for the upcoming movie, Cheaper by the Dozen, set to be released on Disney+ on March 18th.
The video posted to Tiktok has over 30,000 likes and 300,000 views. It showed a woman who goes by the username @jennytuell14 explaining that the writers of the movie might've gotten the plot mixed up with Yours, Mine and Ours.
Cheaper by the Dozen is based on the lives of the Gilbreth's and the book they've written about their family. It was first turned into a movie in 1950. 50 years later (in 2003), the movie got its first remake with Steve Martin, Bonnie Hunt, and Hilary Duff. The comedy film follows two parents taking care of their 12 children, showing how things can get out of control fast. Martin's version got a sequel as well.
The 2022 version, however, has a different background than the previous movies. Zach Braff and Gabrielle Union star as a recently married couple who combined their families. Now, they take care of 10 children together.
Like TikTok user @jennytuell14, fans noted the similarities to Yours, Mine and Ours because the movie is also about a blended family. This movie had two remakes with first one in 1968 and the next in 2005. Others compared it to the Brady Bunch.
"Yes exactly," @Tazmin commented. "When I saw the trailer I was like ummmm this is the plot of yours mine and ours."
"This was the first thing outta my mouth when I saw they were doing a blended family... I was like so it's not cheaper by the dozen then....," @Eva wrote.
"How did nobody on the staff or cast notice this," @Alex commented.
@mseducator81 chimed in saying, "They have the story of the Brady Bunch, with some more kids."
"I just want a 3rd cheaper by the dozen with the OG siblings," @Jen added.
Users on Twitter are shared their thoughts, too, and they didn't mince words.
"Cheaper by the dozen is when the dude can't stop f***ing his wife, when they combine two families that's Yours mine and ours, get it right," @TchaglerTimothy wrote in a viral post gaining over 2,000 likes.
"There should be a rule to leave classic movies alone," @Van_Giggz said.
