I saw this Thursday and loved it. I mostly laughed but I also cried near the end. I don't know if it was me or what, but Renee Russo seemed more gorgeous than ever and Dennis Quaid was the hunk he's always been. The actor who plays Dennis' oldest son looks so much a young Tom Cruise that I had to check the IMDB site to see if he was related but he is not.

The only thing they left out of this remake was the "Ours" part but that didn't hurt it at all.

I just took my nephew to see this. It was a very cute movie. It dragged a little bit in parts but it was sweet. The oldest son really did have a Cruise look about him. The kids were all very cute. I agree about Rene. She looks beautiful.

Did you know this movie was based on a true story? The Beardsley family lived in the SF Bay Area back in the 60's. They had 20 kids (including the 2 they had after they got married). They used to make commercials for Langendorf bread when I was a kid. The mother just passed away a couple of years ago.

Me, too. Still love the original with Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. I think I went with my folks to the drive-in. Not many of those left around!

Rslover, that is a wonderful site. I had no idea this was a real family. Of course, I want to find the book.

the book was called 'who gets the drumstick' and i read it about 5 times when i was a kid. i was disappointed we only had 7 kids because i knew it would be even more fun with a lot more!!
often, when we would be with cousins and have a dozen or more kids stuffed into a station wagon, people would ask if we were the beardsley family and we always told them we were. sometimes we'd post for pictures LOL
