18 kids. 2 families. 1 force of nature

The 2005 re-make of Melville Shavelson's original 1968 comedy hit!

Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo are a perfect match in this irresistible comedy about two single parents who get married... only to meet some unexpected homewreckers -their own kids!

Admiral Frank Beardsley (Quaid), a widower with eight children, runs his family like a tight ship. Frank's orderly life changes course when he impulsively marries his long-lost high school sweetheart, Helen (Russo); a free-spirited fashion designer with ten kids of her own.

For Frank and Helen's wildly different families, it's fight at first sight. So his kids hatch a plan to sabotage the marriage! What follows is a no-schemes-barred, domestic free-for-all that rocks the house with hilarious moments... and some heartwarming surprises.
