As if the 2003 original wasn't endurance test enough, the sequel further cheapens the talents of Steve Martin, reprising his role as a football coach trying to cope with his wife (Bonnie Hunt) and their brood of twelve. Even Hilary Duff, as an older daughter, looks embarrassed to be in this tripe. There's something pernicious about a toxic mix of sitcom and snickering sex jokes getting packaged and effectively sold as wholesome fun for the family.
