With 12 children to take care of, Lillian Gilbreth (Myrna Loy) always had her hands full, but, after the death of her husband, life just got even more complicated. In this sequel to "Cheaper by the Dozen," the recent widow, needing to provide for her family, desperately looks for work. And although Lillian has an engineering background, finding employment proves to be a challenge given the rampant sexism plaguing the industry. Meanwhile, her children face the difficulties of young adulthood.

Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine 10/28/2019
It's a folksy, semi-musical domestic comedy, quite pleasant in spots although sometimes straining too obviously to be oh-so-likable. Go to Full Review Ryan Cracknell Apollo Guide 09/16/2004
71/100
Doesn't completely hold up a half century after its release, but it is a nostalgic bit of innocent humour. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 8 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more 01/27/2022 I think it's the best out of the 2 films they made in the 1950s but not a timeless classic for most people. In my case, I grew up watching it and it is still enjoyable for me to watch so it's timeless for me.
