Disney+'s take on Cheaper by the Dozen has finally premiered. The film, which stars Gabrielle Union and Zach Braff, launched on the streaming platform on Wednesday. Since some time has passed since the movie first premiered on Disney+, fans have already gotten to see the newest take on the 2003 comedy of the same name. Of course, that means that viewers have also wasted no time in sharing their thoughts on the film via social media.

The 2022 version of Cheaper by the Dozen features a unique yet modern take on the Baker family. In Disney+'s film, the Bakers are a blended family, as Paul (Braff) had three children with his ex-wife before finding love with Zoey (Union), who had two children of her own. The couple later welcomed two sets of twins together and look after Paul's nephew Seth. Naturally, the family deals with an array of problems all while trying to navigate a household fit for a dozen occupants.

Considering that the 2003 version of Cheaper by the Dozen, which starred Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt, was quite popular, it would make sense that many of the same fans would give the newest movie a shot. How did they like it?
