(PG) Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt are college sweethearts who never got to follow their dreams. Seems their sexual appetite managed to get in the way and produce twelve, count ‘em twelve offspring’s. Birth control is clearly not two words in their vocabulary. Now a dozen kids and years later, Martin has a shot to coach the football team of his dreams. Hunt has published her first novel and is expected on a book-tour. This is when all hell breaks lose in an almighty juggling act. (Of course one has to wonder if she hasn’t two weeks for a book tour, how did she find the time to even write the book in the first place?) And so the movie with lots of fun anecdotes and silly moments gives us a frustrating and vicious cycle of how the parents must put their own needs on hold. It’s cute but at the same time annoying and certainly something all parents can relate to.
