Get ready to have some family fun because the Bakers are coming — all twelve of them. Disney+ released today the trailer forCheaper by the Dozen, the remake of the 2003 surprise hit comedy — and judging by it, the same fun spirit of the original is kept alive and well. The story follows a couple (Zach BraffandGabrielle Union) that, after tying the not, also tie-in all of their ten kids, which quickly turns their home into a child’s paradise and an adult’s nightmare.
The trailer goes straight to the point and reveals that when you’re taking care of multiple kids, even waking up on a school day may turn into a real adventure incredibly fast. The solution: coming up with a system to get everybody ready in time, including blackmail, negotiations, and physically wrestling the kids out of bed. It also reveals that Zoey (Union) and Paul (Braff) strive to be the cool parents by doing TikTok dances and having each other’s back at all times.
Along with the trailer, Disney+ also unveiled the poster forCheaper by the Dozen, which, as you’d expect, features the full main cast (and two dogs) populating almost every inch of it. Both trailer and poster suggest that, just like in the original movie, we can expect some full-blown antics of a family figuring out how to make order out of a mess – and having lots of fun in the process.
