A remake of the 1950 classic. Married with children- twelve-- Mary and Tom Baker are satisfied with their lives, even though they both put their career ambitions on hold for a while. But with the eldest, 22 year old Anne, out of the house and the youngest twins Nigel and Kyle ready for pre-school, things come together when Tom gets a job coaching Northwestern football and Mary gets her book published. However, a move to a new city and the increased demands on their parents mean that the eleven children remaining at home feel shortchanged and angry- and with the lively Baker clan, that spells trouble.
