Pixar’s latest visual stunner with a heart of gold honors our obsession with the automobile. Although it will make many nostalgic for the open road, especially the historic Route 66, the kids might get a little bored with this one.

Cheaper by the Dozen 2 is an exercise in shameless contrivance--even for the kiddies, though they might enjoy its familiar faces. If you hear laughter from grown-ups, there might’ve been a laugh track installed in the theater prior to the screening. Or someone’s delirious.

The one 1980s pop song not played on the soundtrack--Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun"--is the one that best describes the film's playful spirit and youthful energy. Were only it more original, however, Sleepover wouldn't be so quickly forgettable when it's over.
