While promoting the sequel to the Fox hit in 2003, Steve Martin, Eugene Levy and Bonnie Hunt were kind enough to sit down with the IESB and talk about making Cheaper by the Dozen 2, working together and life on the set, oh and Bonnie talks about her dog named Whisky...a very funny story.

The entire CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN cast reunites, including Steve Martin, Bonnie Hunt, Hilary Duff, Tom Welling and Piper Perabo, and they're joined by a new family, headed by Eugene Levy. Bigger scale, more laughs, ramped-up action – and lots of heart – are the hallmarks of the Bakers' new adventure.

In CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN 2, Tom Baker (Steve Martin) and wife Kate, hoping to bring their family together for a memorable summer vacation, take their twelve offspring to rustic Lake Winnetka, Wisconsin – their longtime family vacation home. But their retreat soon turns cutthroat when they enter into a competition with the over-achieving members of a large family headed by Tom's longtime rival, Jimmy Murtaugh (Eugene Levy).
