About This Soundtrack
Directed by Shawn Levy, the 2003 family comedy-drama film Cheaper by the Dozen is a modern adaptation of the autobiographical book of the same name by Frank Bunker Gilbreth Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey. The story centers on Tom Baker (played by Steve Martin), a college football coach who accepts a demanding job in Chicago, relocating his wife Kate (played by Bonnie Hunt) and their twelve children. When Kate goes on a promotional tour for her new memoir, Tom must manage their chaotic, energetic household alone, showcasing the humorous challenges of parenting a large family.
The movie's musical backdrop is divided between an original orchestral score by composer Christophe Beck and a lively soundtrack supervisor credit by Dave Jordan. The licensed tracklist incorporates popular alternative rock, pop, and punk singles from the early 2000s that reflect the youthful energy of the Baker children. High-profile tracks include Simple Plan's 'Iām Just a Kid', Sum 41's 'In Too Deep', Madness's 'Our House', and 'What Christmas Should Be' by pop star Hilary Duff, who also stars in the film.
