Admiral Frank Beardsley(Dennis Quaid) is a widower with 8 children and his family is 'ship shape' running like a Swiss watch. Helen North(Rene Russo)is a widowed handbag designer with 10 kids and believes in individual self expression. Frank and Helen end up going to their class reunion and discover the love they once had is still there. Thus sparked the proposal of marriage before notifying their separate broods. The thought of one big happy family is not a number one hit with the chaotic 18 'siblings'...sabatoging the union of their 'high school sweethearts' parents becomes a collective mission.
This comedy is not really funny; albeit some of the sight gags are humorous. Juvienile situations and the smiling Quaid and Russo seemed wasted on me. Also in the cast are: Linda Hunt, Jerry O'Connell, David Koechner and Rip Torn.
