Synopsis

Admiral Frank Beardsley returns to New London to run the Coast Guard Academy, his last stop before a probable promotion to head the Guard. A widower with eight children, he runs a loving but tight ship, with charts and salutes. The kids long for a permanent home. Helen North is a free spirit, a designer whose ten children live in loving chaos, with occasional group hugs. Helen and Frank, high school sweethearts, reconnect at a reunion, and it's love at first re-sighting. They marry on the spot. Then the problems start as two sets of kids, the free spirits and the disciplined preppies, must live together. The warring factions agree to work together to end the marriage.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
meisterburger23 If you didn't know the story of Yours Mine and Ours Frank Beardsley is a widower who meets Helen North a widow, she has eight children from her first marriage and he has ten. They get married totaling their family to eighteen kids and later on have two more.The Lucille Ball version (1968) was much more accurate than this version, even though the movie exaggerated a lot. In this version (2005) Frank Beardsley is admiral for the coast guard, He is a widower and moves his family to New London, Connecticut from San Diego. The children's names are changed and are switched around with Frank having eight children, while Helen has ten. Also 6 out of the ten of Helen's kids are adopted and are of different ethnics In the original movie, there are housekeepers but they leave quickly as soon as they discover how rambunctious the kids are, In the update version there is a housekeeper named Mrs Munion who really isn't in many scenes, she just comes and goes. Also the North kids have numerous pets including 2 dogs, 2 cats, a crow, some finches, a hamster, a rat as well as a pot bellied pig. The movie is OK, I just think it could have been better
SnoopyStyle Coast Guard Rear Admiral Frank Beardsley (Dennis Quaid) returns to his hometown of New London to run the Coast Guard Academy. He's a widower and runs a tight ship with his 8 kids. While on a date, he runs into his childhood sweetheart artist Helen White-North (Rene Russo) who has 10 children and on a date of her own. She's also a widower and adopted 6 of her kids. They reconnect, quickly marries and move into the big lighthouse from their past. Frank brings along his housekeeper Mrs. Munion (Linda Hunt). The kids don't get along and decide to join forces to split up the couple.There are just so many kids. There are so many of them that most remain nameless unknown figures to me. The two oldest girls have a good side story but that's rare. The older kids have some more things to do but the kids become a blob mass. I like the general outline of the movie. It doesn't have much comedy that works but the story is a little heart warming. That is until the last act when I lose all interest in the movie. The whole movie is so predictable on auto pilot and I didn't care so much about the individual characters.
billionare12 I thought this movie was great, and I'm expecting as sequel soon.Each actor (Dennis Quade, Rene Russo etc.) played fabulously for their roles. I was deeply impressed with Danielle Panabaker and Katiija Pevec, who played the roles of Phoebe North and Christina Beardsley. But, I must say, I was impressed with ALL the actors. The movie showed me comedy, romance, but most of all, teamwork. Yes, you read that sentence correctly. Teamwork. At the beginning of the movie, your going to wonder what the heck I'm talking about. But then, throughout the last half, your going to notice how the two sides of the family put their differences together, hilariously trying to rip their parents relationship into shreds.Like I said, this movie was great, and I'm sure that if you watch it you'll agree with me.
duraflex Where to begin with a movie this bad. Bad premise, bad rewrite, bad directing, bad movie. I could hardly wait for it to be over.The original 1968 version of "Yours, Mine and Ours" was bad enough. It spawned the BRADY BUNCH TV Show which ran for 5 years so the concept has been pretty well played out.YMO 2005 "Parents" Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo have zero chemistry together on screen. I kept seeing her as Natasha from the Rocky & Bullwinkle movie of 1999.This remake has every stupid cliché and goes overboard in trying to make the organized father look like an idiot time and time again. He gets wacked overboard on his own sailboat, gets paint spilled on him and other stupid stuff along the same lines.Meanwhile, the kumbaya wacko, talking-stick mother apparently uses no discipline in her parenting regime and that is offered as the only acceptable methodology.Throughout, the designer-mother's free-thinking, no-rules household is promoted as the ideal and the more disciplined, buttoned-down Admiral's parenting style is portrayed as deficient and flawed.The mother's family of 10 kids turns out to have 6 adopted of every race which is even less realistic than "blending" a family of 18 kids in the first place. Of course the movie ends with one enormous family that wants to be together. A better ending would have been if Russo and Quaid had come to their senses and gotten divorced. Other than some nice shots of the boats on the water and some good music, the movie has nothing to recommend it.Save your time and money.
