Cheaper by the Dozen

Tom Baker is a football coach at a small rural college in Midland, Indiana, where he raised twelve children. His wife, Kate, has written her story in a book and hopes to send it to her friend for publication. One day, Tom unexpectedly receives an offer from his old friend and football teammate Shake McGuire to coach at his alma mater in his hometown of Evanston, Illinois. Tom accepts the offer, and demands all the children vote on moving. Despite losing the vote, Tom has the entire family return to Evanston for a better home and space. The atmosphere at the Bakers' new house is tense and the situation at school is even worse.
