[edit] Synopsis

Frank Beardsley is a widower US Coast Guard Rear Admiral and superintendent of the United States Coast Guard Academy raising 8 kids. Helen North is a widowed fashion designer raising 10 kids. When the two, who were high school sweethearts, meet up again at their school's thirty-year reunion, they fall in love and promptly marry, causing much displeasure within their suddenly-mixed family of 18 children. The children team up to separate their parents in a variety of inventive ways.

When faced off on Thanksgiving against family films (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line) it almost failed to find an audience. It opened at number three, with an opening weekend of $17,461,108 in the US. Its final US gross is $53,359,917, and a worldwide gross of $68,759,917.[citation needed] With a production budget of $45,000,000,[citation needed] the film fared decently against high-end competition.

The remake was panned by critics worse than the original. Roger Ebert, a fan of the original, bashed the remake badly. Other critics felt a remake was not needed, and that Rene Russo was nowhere near the league of Lucille Ball. Though some critics[who?] agreed that it did follow the basic plot of the original, it still lacked its predecessor's comedic touch. On Rottentomatoes, the remake stands at 5% positive reviews against 50% that the original holds.[1] Some positive reviews stated how it was nice to be refreshed with a remake, similar to how Cheaper by the Dozen was remade. That film, however, did a lot better financially and critically.[citation needed] It is currently unknown if a sequel of the remake is planned, similar to how there was a Cheaper By The Dozen 2. It is said[who?] that MGM, Paramount, Columbia and Nickelodeon will work together again for a sequel.

  • Drake Bell and Miranda Cosgrove also act as brother and sister on the Nickelodeon show Drake & Josh, and they are even both the Mother's kids.
  • Sean Faris was immediately cast as William Beardsley because of his "upright military posture".
  • The house when both families collide under one roof is shot at the Disney Ranch. All the trees on the right side were digitally removed and the water was digitally added.
  • Mrs. Munion, Linda Hunt, is digitally added by green screen at the beginning when Frank asks her how New London is.
  • Christian pop punk band Hawk Nelson played the role of the party band in the film.
  • There are also many similarities between Yours, Mine and Ours and Cheaper By The Dozen, except there are 18 and 12 children respectively
  • When Frank googles Helen, he types Helen White, but then her name and her kids name is North. North being her late husband's last name, White being her maiden name.
  • Katija Pevec and Sean Faris have previously worked together in the movie Sleepover
  • When Mrs. Munion is asked to look after the kids, she sits down with a martini watching wrestling. The matches she was watching was the Royal Rumble 2005 which we saw Batista doing the Batista Bomb on Kane. The other match she was watching was the Money In The Bank Ladder Match at Wrestlemania 21 which featured Kane hitting Edge with a ladder while she was shouting "LOSER! hit him with the chair".
