In the film "Cheaper by the Dozen", who co-starred with Bonnie Hunt?

In the film “Cheaper by the Dozen,” Bonnie Hunt co-starred with Steve Martin. Hunt plays Kate Baker, the mother of twelve children, while Martin plays Tom Baker, her husband and the family’s father.

The 2003 film is a family comedy directed by Shawn Levy. Its story follows the Bakers after Tom accepts a football-coaching job in his hometown, forcing the large family to adjust to a new home and new routines. Kate is also an author, and her book tour leaves Tom trying to manage the household on his own.

The movie is a loose modern adaptation rather than a faithful retelling of the original family memoir. The 1948 book “Cheaper by the Dozen,” by siblings Frank Bunker Gilbreth Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey, described their childhood in a family of twelve children. The 2003 film borrows the title and large-family premise but creates the Baker family and its plot largely independently.

Martin and Hunt returned as Tom and Kate in the 2005 sequel, “Cheaper by the Dozen 2.”
